• 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.

    MSFS20 Object in Wrong Position

    I've been away for a bit, but trying to get back into MSFS scenery design. I'm working on getting one project using the latest build of ADE, and I have this one model which in ADE is set back from the runway. When I build the project and go to that location in MSFS, the object is right up...

    MSFS20 Converting

    I used to know how to do this, but it looks like things have changed. I want to take a model I have and convert the texturing to a different format. Right now it uses bmp textures and they don't show when compiling for MSFS. I've been told that png textures might work. How do I change the...

    MSFS20 Duplicate Windsocks

    I'm sure it doesn't help, but I don't think exclusion rectangles do anything anymore.

    MSFS20 Models

    Can you tell me what this error means? I get this for every texture I am trying to use.

    MSFS20 Models

    Yep, did that already. Now where do textures go? Do I make a sub under the model? Do they go in the same folder as the model? Do I put them in the texture folder at the ModelLib level? I've tried different places and it still generates an error for each texture when compiling.

    MSFS20 Models

    Okay, I get it now. I thought models were placed one level higher. When I moved it to that folder and redid it in ADE, it shows now. Thanks for the clarification!

    MSFS20 Models

    Thanks, I'm sorry I didn't provide much info, it was late and I was in a rush. I have several projects where I'd like to add custom models, so if I could figure out the way to get it going, that would help for everything I'm doing. i have attached the backup.

    MSFS20 Models

    I hope I'm not repeating a question, I looked but couldn't find anything. I've followed the procedure in the documentation to add a custom model to a scenery project. But when I go to the field, there is nothing there. Any suggestions as to what the issue might be?

    Where do I download Abacus FSDS?

    I used FSDS for 20 years, and I miss it. It was so easy to use and still build great stuff.

    That answers something I was wondering, is it possible to exclude road traffic.
