• 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.

P3D v4 Getting into development

Hi guys,

I'm relatively new to the scenery development industry and no one seems to have any interest in doing Irish airports so I took it upon myself to do it :p

Just looking for some tips for the best programs to use to get the best quality possible. I want to try and get up to the payware standard which for now will be freeware.

At the moment I'm using;
  • SBuilderX for photoreal imagery (please advise if there's a better way)
  • Airport Design Editor for alignment and AFCAD
  • Photoshop for editing (haven't created any custom textures yet)
  • I'm not really sure what to use for 3D modelling as I have very little experience in that but looking to learn.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks guys,
Greg
 
Here is my shortlist for the scenery project I'm working on currently:
Also, don't forget the default SDK tools, particularly TMFViewer, resampler, shp2vec and BGLComp will be your long-time friends along the road. Be careful to use only the ones supplied with your version of simulator. :)

Hope this helps! And good luck!!!
