• 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.

Still have to find (or make)some of the images for the gauges and other small details, but it's basically there. The gauges are just dummy images right now, since I have now earthly idea how to make a panel.

As always, any suggestions for improvement are welcome...

If I want to do that thing where the gauges move from the exterior model, is there something I should do now to facilitate that?

Finish your interior model first. When you are happy with the results, then you can copy/paste the parts to your exterior model... :coffee:
 
Hey Ryan/Kevin,



If I might humbly suggest using some shading and highlighting on the wood panels, it makes one nice little bit of realistic touch.

In area's where sunlight is low (like by your feet, it should be very dark. In area's that are hit hardest/easiest by light (directly) those would be light colored and sometimes have white edges. In crevises, the area gets darker as you get close to the edge in the nook.

But.. If you have Max, you can texture bake the shading in there, which is more exact then trying to do them with Airbrush on your textures in Photoshop...

Hi Bill,

can you please tell us how that works?

I just caught that. I didn't paint that. That was a Maple texture I tried and later rejected in favor of another. I think it's fairly obvious as to why... :)
 
:eek: This is an awesome tutorial, I didn't even know that this is possible! Thanks for that!
