• 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.

Madeira (LPMA) update

Can I "bake" my textures using Gmax? Or is that a feature of 3Ds Max only? (version 9 I take it?)

Gee, those have got to be some of the best night light techniques of streetlights and ground lighting I have ever seen in FS. I just may have to upgrade to 3Ds Max and get an oven! :p
 
There is a list of file types on the BLOG.

Of those listed, GMAX will import .dxf, .3ds and .prj files.

.X files are also supported, not sure if these can be converted to mdl's

Hello CrashGate3

I saw your project and it looks amazing!
But it seems the project is dead because your last activity was on 22th of January 2009. I'm really looking forward to this great scenery.
Has anyone news about his project?

Thanks for help
Matti

mmm I don't think so, if you look at fs2004 aerosoft screens, you can see that are very different from this one, and looking at the site http://lpma.6.forumer.com/ in the forum is stated that this scenery will be release on avsim when finished.
So just be patient when this scenery will be finished we will know :D

I agree, also the FSX version looks different...
 
very nice job.... love the night lighting... its things like that that can make a scenery kick into another level... i have always been a proponent of quality textures on simpler objects most often look better than simple textures on complex objects... AND its better for fps, so, very nice!!! not that you haven't made some nice objects, its just you are paying attention to the texturing and lighting, very important.... (imho)

impressive :)

You'll see how much of a bargain GMax is when you price 3ds Max. At $3495.00 it's out of reach for the average FS developer. Even Maya is $1995.00.:eek:

3ds Max has a 30-day trial.

3DSMax really costs almost $3500?!?!?! :yikes: That is ridiculous. What is different between that and GMAX?

There are thousand of differences!!!! the rendering engine, materials library, materials effects, a lot of import and export formats and professional support directly from Autodesk :)
