• 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.

MSFS20 Excluding rain/snow from open hangar interior

I see the occluder keeping rain and the active snowing out of the hangar. But rain effects still show on the aircraft itself (not snow as far as I can tell). And snow still shows on the floor of the hangar. The active raindrops and
snowflakes do not show in the hangar.
When doing interiors, everything should be placed as a separate model ( gltf),
So when placing you can set its property to "noSnow" as well as all the other ...ehm..furniture and equipment in the hangar

I think that the effect on the windshield can't be avoided, it looks like driven by the state of the atmosphere in that place (precipitation)

Yes. I don't know if that can be fixed. I have marked the hangars with "no snow" in sdk too.
Thats looking really good Iron! My only suggestion would be to tone down the brightness on those lamps, they dont need an emissive texture. In my example below, I put a 12W 'spot' and 2W 'point' light inside the light-well of the lamp, just play with the angle etc of the spot light to adjust it how you want, it matches roughly what youll see in blender except the power scales are way off 12W is dark in blender but bright enough in MSFS. This provides the light casting to the ground, as well as the ambient light inside the lamp itself and keeps the light leaking into the rafters down.

Yes, thanks, I will work on that. I did in that way looking at the reference image which shows a very bright hangar and lights

Made the floor as a separate model, with no snow checked. :) Snow left on the main building. Occluder-material mesh on both
