• 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.

I've cleaned up the file removing orphan data and other methods, yet I still get these files exporting. Please tell me how to get rid of these guys...

    Hi all, I am attempting to model some very low-poly cars for use as scenery objects. Issue #1: Each car is an individual component in Sketchup for ease of copying and modifying. When entering the component (double clicking on) and then exiting the component, the texture mapping of any...

    MSFS20 ModelConverterX Textures have become darker

    Hello, This is my first post. I have been making my own scenery objects for about 7 years. My method is to build Buildings such as hangars using TinkerCad, converting the STL file with MCX into .dae files, than painting/texturing in SketchUp, exporting the .KMZ file back to MCX to place them...

    HI GUYS, So I have this mesh on top of my aircraft. It keeps turning black at a certain time of the day. Normally slightly when the sun is at 1%. This is a mesh exported from blender. I've followed the default aircrafts shading configurations and utilized default NORM & COMP textures as well...

    MSFS20 PBR Textures for CUSTOM MATERIALS

    Hi all, In an attempt to expand processes and get away from projected mesh issues (especially in the last couple SDK updates), I'm looking to use the built-in apron feature of the SDK to make some pavement areas. So far, I've only been able to import the base textures via custom materials, but...

    Hi all, I'm new to 3D modelling and texturing; after realising that placing objects into the sim is only a limited portion of scenery development... A few months ago I completed the doughnut tutorial, then made this hut as my very first ever 3D Model... I think I made it far too detailed 😂...

    MSFS20 COMP Textures Export via Blender

    Hi all, Where do we attach the COMP textures using the MSFS Blender export plugin? I've been doing things the traditional way of connecting Albedo, Metal, Normal maps in Blender, but now wanting to experiment with COMP maps (not sure why if everything is working fine) but it seems 90% of devs...

    MSFS20 Any way to change textures without reloading the sim?

    MSFS has a great feature of reloading the gltfs on the fly as you edit them given that you have your package in the Community folder. But it only works if you don't change any textures. I tried to change a texture, build project, move the new package into Community (with sim running), close and...

This has so far worked flawlessly for several hundred objects...

    MSFS20 Parallax glass - no reflection... Any ideas?

    I’ve been using parallax windows/interiors but the glass is not reflecting, no matter what I do. I used it in small buildings on individual windows before, but now I tried a large one, with multi-room parallax texture. It’s working OK, although with a surprising effect that seemingly the actual...

    I see that no matter what you do (even if you add your COMP'd PNG with Normals/Roughness and Alpha from the workaround found on the forum), you can never truly see your normal map on the ground. It always shows some default bumpy looking asphalt thing instead. What is the best way to get nice...
