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.

Hi Siggy,
You can make a little test aircraft that has no real altitude. I have done this in the past by making a sort of distance measuring cross aircraft.
But when using some of the default aircraft I don't know a solution for this.

Hi Siggy.
If you need ground altitude, try TCalcX:

Hi Arno & Dick,
Thanks for your replies. Arno's solution I can use in conjunction with my scenery test MDL, just need to adjust 3 contact points it seems. Strangely, I thought the download is down, but I could just download Dick's tool. That works great too! The funny thing was when I was in slew mode and simply turned around (heading changes) the ground altitude in TCalcX changed briefly while turning, but then went back to the old value once I stopped. Anyway, good to have that and the display of true heading is also very useful.
