• 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.

API and/or macro viewer?

Hello all,

I know that some years ago, someone created DP3DV, which was a program that allowed you load up an .api macro and be able to view it in realtime. This was a great way to quickly view your object and check for texture misalignments and all.

I know that GMAX gives this ability but the object obviously has to be created with GMAX.

Does anyone know if a new utility such as this one, been created with FS2004 style APIs? The problem is that all the macros created with Novasim, which I use for my objects and creates them in the new floating point commands, they will not show up on DP3DV.

Thanks for any info on this matter.

Hi Efrain,

No, I have never seen such a tool again. DP3DV is the only tool that comes to my mind for this as well.

One small note, Fs2004 style API macros do not exist :). NovaSim creates Fs2002 style API macros, with the floating point commands. In Fs2004 scenery objects are contained in MDL files.
