• 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,

I think there are two options to get some life in your scenery.

  1. Is to add AI traffic, in general this looks better as they will also move :).
  2. If you want to place statics that is also possible, just like you can place any other objects.
    The biggest problem is probably to get some good objects. You can either design them yourself (which is a lot of work in general) or use MDL2BGL to convert an aircraft MDL to a scenery macro (API). Unfortunately MDL2BGL works best with Fs2000 or older MDL files, as the latest formats are not yet supported.
 
I have a collection of GMax static aircraft I downloaded from TurboSquid quite some time ago. Seems they are no longer available since neither Damien Moriarty or I could find them on TurboSquid last week... There is a good selection and most of them are already textured from the original creator (Ole Egholm).

Download them from my site HERE
 
Lately, I found freeware static planes made in gmax right at the FlyTampa homepage! With gmax source files and textures. www.flytampa.com
They are low-poly models, so love them or hate them, but IMHO they are just perfect for static scenery.

Jeff
 
I *may* be making available the models I am doing for Squawkbox 3. Stay tuned.

See the start of them on www.squawkbox.ca
