• 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.

Alarming observation when creating sceneries

Hello everyone!

I set to work today and started to decorate St Helena with a photoscenery for the P3D.
While I was drawing the water mask, I noticed very, very many white-grey dots.

As it turns out, unfortunately, these are not picture errors: this is plastic waste floating in the sea and washed up near St Helena.

Even though the plastic problem has been known for a long time, to actually see it on this scale - even if it's only on a satellite image - I find it really very frightening.

So I thought I really had to show this off.
Here is a report on it:

Remote South Atlantic Islands Are Flooded With Plastic

In less than ten years, plastic pollution around St. Helena, East Falkland and Ascension Islands has increased tenfold, and 100 times in the last 30 years

Plastic microparticles found in flesh of fish eaten by humans

People could be ingesting scores of tiny bits of possibly toxic polymers without realising

In 1907 Leo Baekeland invented Bakelite, the first fully synthetic plastic, meaning it contained no molecules found in nature.
These polymers are not found anywhere else in the universe, they are the signature of man.

In this theme there is also the "6th continent" (Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP)) estimated at 3.43 million km² With a depth of up to 30 meters, these masses are located between Los Angeles and Hawaii
