• 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.

Old School SCASM Coder needs help with vectors

I am in the process of making static aircraft libraries for use in FS and for some of the sources I need to re-engineer the code to add some parts (winglets) or change others (Lengthen fuselage of modify wings)
The one thing I can't get my brain around is the calculations of the vectors for the VecPoints and TexPoly commands.

I understand the concept of calculating the vectors for polygons and normalizing the three vectors to 32767 I just haven't been able to reproduce the values in some to the existing objects.

I have read a number of exchanges between Arno Gerretsen and Luis Sa' but am still confused.

Does someone have a step by step process to walk through the calculations. I use MS Excel for a lot of code modifications so if a spread sheet with notes explaining thins will be great
