• 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.

    P3D v4 Performance-friendly SODE Objects

    I am currently making windmills for Germany and have so far more than 24,000 coordinates (I use SODE). The whole thing should of course be performance friendly and pull as little FPS as possible. Currently I have more than 24,000 placements and that pulls decent FPS. Is there another method that...

    Free SODE Jetways

    I am working on an airport in Northern Germany. When I activate OrbX Germany North, all jetways disappear. Holger Sandmann told me, that this is due to the OrbX exclude and a long time unresolved P3D bug. Since I am already using SODE at the airport I was thinking about replacing the default...

    SODE Jetway animations? (Solved)

    When I exported an animated SODE jetway from 3ds max, I get two files X file and Xanim. How do I make them into MDL? Because when I import X file into MCX, I see error saying No animation definitions found. I tried dragging and dropping to XtoMDL but didn’t work. Got a static jetway.

    Hello developers. A question to the experienced developers in this forum. I would like to re-program my SODE-controlled wind turbines and wind socks to meet the P3Dv4 standard and no longer need SODE. Is it even possible to design my wind objects to be P3Dv4 SDK compliant?

    Exporting for use in GMax

    Hello! I have a short question about exporting objects from Blender for use in GMax and SODE (a jetway model). Basically I'm wondering if there's any way to export all these separate objects and keeping them like that when opening the file in GMax, so that I don't have to redo the "splitting"...

    Exporting SODE SimObject in Model Converter X?

    Hello, I made a few performance improvements to a 3rd party SimObject windsock model that I'm using with SODE. However, I seem to be running into an issue. After I finished tweaking, I exported the model as an FSX MDL with the exact same name as the original. However, for some reason the model...

    SODE problem with Install Creator Pro

    I'm trying to create an installer for my first SODE-driven scenery using ClickTeam's Install Creator Pro, and I'm having trouble writing files to the ProgramData\12bPilot\SODE directory. It's probably because it's a protected directory under Windows, but I'm not certain how to proceed. Has...
