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.
Please assist!!

The building can be compiled as a .mdl file and installed into FSX in a number of different ways using other applications. FSDS can create a .bgl file placed into the FSX Addon Scenery\scenery folder if FSDS is properly set-up. The location of the building is established by entering coordinates in the Project Properties and the orientation is as shown in FSDS with north at the top of the display.

That will work but if you get back on Skype I will show you.
1. compile your mdl.
2. make sure you have one folder wit hall your mdls in it.
3, Open IS3 library maker and create a library. (Can't remember- call me).
4. place library in your active scenery.
5. start FSX - go to that scenery - open IS3 and place.
-----------------------------------------
Textures- I think we covered this, but easy to forget.-------------
In FSDS when ready to compile, do so but before shutting down FSDS go to --
1. file.
2. package project
3. navigate to where you made a folder called package folder (easiest to remember)
4. save.
5. shut down FSDS
6. go to package folder and open
7. a. can dump the fsc file if you want to. b. grab all the bmps there and copy to your active scenery's texture sub folder.
Doing this you will never have to write down all the bmps you used, then go searching all over your machine for those and copy and paste each one.
Only exception- if you tagged any of these bmps with .N (look for night texture.... i.e. _LM) you will have to make your own _LM, or everything will be invisible in FSX. Bob
