• 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.

SimDirector where to post here?

could not find a section for SimDirector but anyway this may not be a fault of SimDirector.

I have placed many objects in SimDirector and find it very easy to use, but i have noticed that only position, alt, and heading remain when the BGL is created.

I set objects with pitch and bank sometimes but this information is lost the object returns to horizontal.

Any ideas anyone? this may be a limitation of FSX / P3d.

you can see here one copy of the greenhouse from the BGL file horizontal and the other from Simdirector file positioned correctly.

There used to be a bug in FSX causing the pitch and bank to be ignored, so maybe that bug is still there in P3D v4 as well.

found reports that it was after SP2 but models made in Gmax didn't have the issue:-/ i make stuff in Sketchup and have not used Gmax, is it a Sketchup thing?? I caused a problem in instant scenery.

The issue is in bglcomp or the bgl format as far as I know, so it has nothing to do with the modeling tool you use.
