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 am not sure if I understand your question. Many autogen buildings are made based on footprint information in the AGN file, so the person who made the AGN file determines the size. Other are library objects, so then it is the designer of the objects who determined the size.
It is a long time ago I used FS2004, but I don't think it has ground traffic by default. Not sure if there are addons for it.

Thanks for the info. I mean those buildings that autogen puts all around map and in cities. Like those small houses and multiple level buildings.
I'm going to make some addons for FS2004 because I found many good addons for it. Like: Finnterrain, Finnmasts and FISD library. Also in one site I found great Island mesh addon for FS2004.
IF you and all want to know why I choose FS2004 check this awesome site out:
http://files.fsnordic.net/
Question info added:
Question was bit unclear. This is what I want to know: How many centimeters or millimeters those buildings are in those files?
One more question:
Why some picture files can't be opened in GIMP or any picture maker? Are they somehow transformed or protected like some texture picture files REFUSE to open. Are they converted in some other format? They STILL have that .bmp file extension.

Moi..
I'm also not sure if I understand the question right, but as Arno already said, you can make in the Annotator almost any sizes (of rowhouses) you want. But why to bother with the Autogen? Just use google earth to measure the length and width of the building you want to model. For the height I usually use a picture from the side and calculate it from the relation to length/width. That's all.

Hi,
About the textures, many FS textures have a DXT compression even though the extension is BMP. Most image editors can't read those files however. You can use ImageTool from the SDK to convert them. XnView is also a nice texture viewer that will show them.
