• 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.

    Great utility, Thank You for sharing This isnt new I know, but I hoard resource links :P, so knew about it, I never had a reason to use it until now After losing some of my storage drive, I needed to recover some source files from the addons I had posted here and there this was a Huge time saver 🥇

    Generate lod msfs 2024

    I'm currently using this little gem, does a good job on fairly complex aircraft as mamu suggested they will still need some cleanup and possibly several attempts to get them right but .. this automates it quite a bit https://github.com/Devinci297/MSFS-LOD-Maker

    MSFS24 Error "exporting from Blender 4.2.9 LTS to MSFS2024 1.8.14

    that Third msfs plugin is probably an issue for sure its not a default asobo plugin (there is no 2.2.20 that i can find) and afaik it 'should' replace one of those default asobo plugins? https://github.com/AsoboStudio/Microsoft-Flight-Simulator-2020-glTF-Blender-IO/releases Either way I would...

    MSFS24 Error "exporting from Blender 4.2.9 LTS to MSFS2024 1.8.14

    I cant say for sure but you dont happen to have both plugins installed do you? (for 2020 and 2024) you can But ... only one can be active at a time the reason i ask is this " Create blend file copy D:\MSFS_2024_GENERAL\Pruebas\Blender\691df34701d8.blend Info: Saved "691df34701d8.blend" " that...

    MSFS24 Attach custom 3D submodels to cockpit for custom livery

    from my previous post "you wont need any submodel merge or attachment scripting at all" the whole point in doing this in the livery folder with 2024 is its kind of a shortcut any model in the livery folder (if properly done) will load, no 'model merge' or attachment is necessary we can take...

    Partially Seen FX

    you should be able to copy/add a VisualEffectLib asset and combine the packages so its a single addon the only part u really need blender for would be the fire logs and or an empty ... something to spawn the effects from here is what i saved from that video tutorial if that helps, feel free to...

    Partially Seen FX

    "Effect is in the object list of the scenery" I believe you would need '2 effects' listed by GUID (one for smoke, one for flame) they could be either ones you make that are included in the sdk package or ones that you are linking from the game maybe the GUID is wrong on the flame effect ? there...

    MSFS24 Attach custom 3D submodels to cockpit for custom livery

    to be honest I've never done this but ... I am working on static liveries made with a mesh skin, and I have no idea why a 'coffee cup' (or any model for that matter) wouldnt work the same first an attach point is not needed and wont help, since this isnt being loaded with the attachments system...

    MSFS20 Using default assets as model attachments

    I can confirm that mamu's suggestion is easy you place them like any stock object and animations work i added a few that walk around to one of the very few scenery projects i made some time ago iirc the only problem was finding the right names to search for

    Blender 4.5 Native Exporter - Transparent Texture Settings

    you should be using the blender plugin for setting up image textures with that you select Decal as the type and it will force blend mode for the alpha channel or you can use Standard type and change/select the alpha mode to blend

    MSFS20 [FIXED] Nose Wheel, Steer and Gear Animation not working in Simulator

    the steering should be animated 0-360 degrees on a single clockwise rotation (i use 360 frames for this as well) you need a separate empty/helper/controller for this, then the angle is controlled by the flight_model.cfg (not rudder percent) if done correctly it wont rotate unless your moving but...

    MSFS24 Hide objects inside transparent cube

    Im like mamu, putting things in a 'glass box' is just making an aquarium/terrarium- neither are very good for hiding things you can fake a hide using Non transparent objects, ie its possible to 'move' an object and hide a small box inside a larger one you Cant see thru, but thats not really the...

    Locating fs-base-genericairports in MSFS2024

    yea i get that I was just suggesting another way to do it that doesnt require decompiling or distributing asobo's work they have gone to great lengths to allow us to modify this game (2024 in particular) and have been very understanding in our 'workarounds' imo

    Locating fs-base-genericairports in MSFS2024

    you only need to replace the taxiways and parking spots afaik, they are connected, runways and jetways are only 'matched visibly' to them, so if you dont change the jetways or runways you just need to place the new taxiways and parking correctly to reuse them as is, the taxiways and runways need...

    Locating fs-base-genericairports in MSFS2024

    afaik that is totally possible to do that without reverse engineering or directly accessing the game files Im not exactly a scenery dev but the process would be something like ... In Dev Mode start a new project and select to Overwrite that icao airport (this removes nothing up front) then in...
