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.

Great work Shez! What would you say you are stuck on currently? Your ground poly is beautiful and similar to mine I'm working on.
I have been busy with RW stuff for a few years so a lot of the times new tech is what I struggle with (dynamic lighting, PBR, SODE, etal). I have to learn all of it again to keep up with scenery design.
The things that take time are seasonal ground, autogen placement, cleaning up ground textures and vehicle ramps. I still have to put in lighting towers and have never really worked with dynamic lighting. I have learnt SODE now although I am debating to maybe just leave default jetways because most users use GSX now.

I know the feeling trust me. I took a year off from scenery design and came back to dynamic lighting and object placements for taxiway lights. If there's anything I could help with I'd love to assist. Taxiway Signs/Lights and real world photos since I work at FLL and could get any pictures you'd like to use in IND.
Are you able to do dynamic lighting for ramp/field lighting?
Unfortunately that is one area I have yet to get into. I'm sure it is easy to do just takes some time.
Apparently it's quite easy to do in MCX
MSI Afterburner and RTSS.
Hey Shez, how is the project going?
I am in the middle of a detour. Learning new techniques to keep myself up to date.
- SODE jetways (done)
- PBR textures (done)
- Updated ground texture techniques (done)
- Lighting (WIP)
I really wish I could help with the lighting because I find myself doing the same thing on my end. There is a FX tool that comes with the SDK which you can use in real time inside the sim but have not tinkered with it yet.
I want to use 3dsmax to add an attachpoint effects file but can't seem to get it to work on my end inside the sim.
I make the dynamic light and set the parameters for DAY=0 NIGHT=1 DUSK/DAWN=0 and add my effect but they do not show. Still working with it.
I have managed to get DL to work on some scenery components I did for the AVAGroup (Angola-based virtual airline) Luanda FNLU. Let me know if you'd be interested to take a look?
I for one would love to have KIND, so if I can help, I'd be happy to!
