• 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.

Which SDK For FSX Steam?

Since downloading ADE last month I have been working in P3D v4. I also have FSX Steam and would like to develope within that but no SDK.
I have heard the Acceleration Service Pack or Gold version will substitute. Is that true? If so, can one link a download, if not then please fill me in. Thanks.

For both FSX and P3Dv1.4x, use the P3Dv1.4x SDK auto-installer ...here:

Thank you sir.
I tried putting what I developed for version 4.5 into fsx steam and it wouldn't render even though I installed the needed libraries.
I will download that SDK and just develope separate for Steam.

One more question.
I added lighting poles to my KSEG upgrade. However, I flew after sundown and it turns out they are merely static. Do you know of any working light poles in the library?
Thanks

Assuming you are referring to Ramp Lights and/or Parking Lot Lights, IIRC, there are several which are active from Dusk to Dawn:


lightpost_object_bigwash
{1066B428-D7C8-4080-
A478-CE69C524D9E6}
size: 46.28, 15.07, 46.28

lightpost_object_bigwash_ORANGE
{D2B9A01F-8DC6-4B05-
96A1-700DDA2784D1}
size: 46.28, 15.07, 46.28
thumbnail
lightpost_object_smallwash
{FA650152-BC35-44C8-
BE46-470C0EFA4D05}
size: 25.67, 15.07, 25.67



NAR_Light
{280E0969-A5E3-4C7B-
98D8-16EA06A555AC}
size: 11.67, 36.03, 6.16

(I am not certain this latter one is illuminated).

Note these use translucent 3D cones with a light splash base on the ground which need to be placed ~0.021 Meters AGL to minimize flickering ("Z-Buffer Fighting") artifacts with ground textures. :pushpin:


Because these do not use attached Effect (*.Fx) files, they can be scaled to a desired size when placed. ;)

Thanks a lot. That first just what I'm looking for. SEG has a few posts very similar. I know where most are. I will check and adjust accordingly next visit.
I'm having screenshot trouble sovI haven't been able to post my work so far but I an going to give grabber or snapper a try. I have it very close except the blue hanger is beige and the white hanger next to the Terminal/office is a little two wide with sliding sectional doors rather than a large garage type roll up. I will fix that whenever I get on to Sketch up and MCX.
