• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

    MSFS20 Build error MSFS2020

    Hi guys! Got a question for you all. I've always been building liveries out side of the SDK, because when I try to build one with the SDK I'm always getting the same error. It's a bit strange, I can't get my head wrapped around it. When I copy the SDK sample to my project folder before editing...

    How to make a proper electrical system?

    Hi All, Unfortunately, I did not find a satisfactory answer in the SDK how I can properly link the instrument's Asobo Template in interior.xml to the circuit.x in systems.cfg. I got advice on Discord, which says that I can set/control this with this line: <FAILURE>(A:CIRCUIT ON:<circuit.x>...

    Mirrored object flipped in SDK

    Hello! I've recently started modelling and airport building in SDK and it's kind of a new thing to me. I've faced with many problems but this one is something I couldn't solve on my own. In blender if I mirror an object, everything seems to be right. But in SDK when I import the whole model...

    Hi guys, How can I export an aircraft to my package folder where most textures need to be called using the texture.cfg before building an aircraft package?

    How does one go about editing a BGL file.

    Hello everyone. I have about 20 or so airports that I forgot I even own because they don't have the yellow star in the world map.

    SDK Converting Heightmap XML data to displacement texture

    Hello everyone. Got a bit of a techy question. Does anybody know a way to convert an heightmap from MSFS to a usable displacement black/white image? Once you apply an heightmap to a surface, it "wraps" around it so the single vertices of the heightmap should be the ones of the actual ingame...

    Hello, I’ve just imported a FSX aircraft using the legacy converter but it’s textures don’t show any reflection at all (the livery looks like it’s made of concrete). I’ve tried opening the aircraft.cfg file in the Model Converter X, changing the smothness to 1 in all textures and export them...
