• 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.

The tutorial on how to create a visual guidance docking system (VGDS) has been updated again. The previous version had trouble when the object was rotated in the XML code.

After evaluating all possible commands, I came to the conclusion that none of the available commands does respond to the rotation as entered in the XML file. So to solve this problem you will have to design the docking system for a specific heading. The tutorial has been updated for this and shows a way to easily change this heading.

So with this updated tutorial you should be able to work on your own docking systems again. For the final objects that I will release for other scenery design later I will add a tool to do the tweaking of the heading for you.
