• 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 Need Help in Composite for Custom Material

    I would not bother using Photoshop for this as it involve to much manual work. The quickest method is to install ImageMagick and then use the Convert to with the -combine command to merge three files in to one. You basically put your three PBR channel files in a folder, right click the folder...

    MSFS20 MSFS Toolkit by Nool Aerosystems

    I get triangular holes like this one on some parts at the outer edge of the area and I'm not sure how to counter it. I've tried to make my shape file smaller and I see some difference after that but I'm not sure if I actually solved anything as some holes go away and others appear instead. Any...

    MSFS20 PBR Textures for CUSTOM MATERIALS

    I've found that it's easy to use Imagemagick and the Command prompt/Terminal to build the PBR file if you already have the other parts as separate files. You simply put them in the same folder and run something like this to combine everything in to one file: convert ao.png rough.png metal.png...

    MSFS20 Unable to build package

    I just want to confirm this for the sake of Google search results and other members. My Failed to spawn lister for asset group were related to not having a ContentInfo\Thumbnail.jpg in my package. As far as I know this were created by default with the project previously but I guess that's not...

    MSFS20 Grass length - suddenly i need a mower for my airfield.

    I just returned back to MSFS after I gave up all hope on it during the summer. I see that this shitty bug still persist and thrive... What I just did, to save one of my fields from being completely unusable, were to place an apron with a rock texture over the entire affected area. I then set...

    I'm working on scenery... (2021 & 2022)

    This is Idre airport (ESUE) in Sweden. I've released an earlier version of this for XP but this time I'm building v2 for MSFS first, I will then release it for XP11 as well.

    MSFS20 List the things wrong with Sim Update v5

    I've been thinking about this one for a while and this change got me completely baffled. I remember some old software and even file systems that had "features" like this one 30 years ago. It were either changed over time because of the bad idea of such a thing or the software itself got replaced...

    MSFS20 Need early version of SDK!

    My memory is a bit fussy on this part but the tangent error could be related to an animation in your model, it could also be related to some remain from SolidWorks which have various tangent functions for calculating geometry. It's hard to tell without seeing the model itself in Blender. I've...

    MSFS20 List the things wrong with Sim Update v5

    This one is annoying. I released a small GA field with a grass surface just hours prior to the update and it did look great. Now when I load the same airport in the latest version the grass is almost half a meter tall. This would probably look great in the wild this is clearly an airport with...

    Commercial Sat Ortho Providers

    This one can be a bit tricky due to the nature of different countries. I know that some countries have a lot of sources as well as simple rules that allow you to easily obtain and use imagery like this for a low cost. Other places, like the Soviet state Sweden where I live, can be a minor...

    I'm working on scenery... (2021 & 2022)

    Here is 3 buildings from a small grass field called Alingsås flygfält. It's located about 35 minutes north of Gothenburg in Sweden. This field is home to Gothenburg Gliderclub as well as RC club and a retro group. The textures are mainly based on a set of photos I got from a member at one of the...

    MSFS20 Blender2MSFS support thread

    I've seen the same problem today as well. I managed to compile and use another building yesterday but the one I completed today (which is built just like 8 previous ones) won't work. This SDK is so unstable and unpredictable... Update: I think I managed to fix it now. If you have copied your...

    MSFS20 Time for a step back

    "4K" isn't necessary a requirement for high quality. It's just a resolution and it will give you different results on different forms of objects. I usually start with quite high quality on my textures but I often down scale it before release.

    Exclusion zones/polygons not getting saved

    It seems like that did the trick, thank you! There is clearly a lot of broken ends and undefined behaviours in this SDK right now.
