• 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 trying to find some API MAcros with people. I have got the usual suspects that a web search seems to find, are you aware of any that are there but more difficult to find. The sort I am looking for are similiar to thos used by Gary Summons in his scenery, airfield types rather than Airport. If not any idea how to go about making some?

Thanks

Paul

Hi Paul,

I have made my own library with people, if there is interest in it I can put it online.

It contains about 10 people, as you could see them walking over a street. So no maintenance people etc, but just normal people. I have used them on my VFR airfields on it looks very nice.

I could not find a screenshot right now, but will have post one here when I get home.

Here is the texture that's shows all people included.

Let me know if there is interest, then I will collect them with some instructions in a zip and upload them.

Hi Arno,


I think it is very usefull for many people including me :) I was thinking to put people in my scenery aswell. One question: Are it 3D people or flat ones?

They are flat, just like the trees. But they rotate to you, so it always looks like a person :D.

I will convert these objects to a Fs2004 library and then release them as well (just like the trees I am working on).

Since I have Poser, I have posted some images any of you can use if you like. Also can make some short animations using multiple images (animated textures) like people walking or waving. If anyone has any specific ideas, let me know and I'll see if I can make it happen. :)

My peeps...

I made a people library, which is available over at AVSIM. It includes 32 men and 32 women, mostly standing around looking like passengers, but there's a few worker types in there too.

I include .api files and an index so they are quite easy to place. I also made a .xml version, but I never got around to packaging it up. Anyway, the .api version is available over at AVSIM.

If you want to make your own, it is quite easy. The hardest part was finding decent photographs to use.

Hey Arno

I would definately like some of your folks :D I need to populate the airfield with 'airfield types' so if you know of any mechanic/spotter/chatting types that would be really good.

Thanks for the help..one day I will get this airfield finished :)

One thing..if I find some good pics myself, how do I go about making my own peeps
