• 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.

    Source of semi-custom models

    Since MicroSoft canceled ESP I no longer have a need for ESP models.

    Model Complexity and frame rates....

    I know very little about creating models. I'm just starting out. But I ran across this article yesterday. It mentions that the number of polygons may not be as important as the number of vertices. So fwiw: http://lotus-films.blogspot.com/2008/08/nuts-and-bolts-of-multiplayer.html

    Source of semi-custom models

    Right. That was why I said semi-custom rather than custom. The models I need are almost all aircraft. And they are fairly common aircraft. I don't need, or want, virtural cockpits or panels or sounds or flight models. I'm going to use them as AI aircraft. I don't need exclusive rights. From...

    Source of semi-custom models

    No, what I meant was I provide the specification for the model and they create the model to my specifications.

    Source of semi-custom models

    Mainly aircraft models. I would like to be able to say give me a model of this aircraft with this many polygons and these attachment points and these animated parts. I don't want to create the models just provide some of the specifications. And have them work in ESP.

    How do I get the terrain altitude at a location?

    Yeah, I thought about that. I havn't tried it yet but I'm not sure it would be fast enough.

    Thanks. I have not seen that before. And you're right. Knowing it can be done helps.

    With two monitors want to only use one

    The other application I want to run would not be much of a performance problem. It's mainly just displaying data. The second monitor can even run in full screen mode. I just need FSX to not take it over.

    Source of semi-custom models

    I'm looking for sources of semi-custom models. I would like to be able to specificy things like number of polygons, attachment points and such. They would be used under ESP. Does anyone have any companies to check out? thanks,

    How do I get the terrain altitude at a location?

    May be I don't understand but isn't doing that and using RequestDataOnSimObject give you the values at the location of the object. I want to do it for locations where there is no object. I need to get the height at various locations that I specificy. I want to be able to say hey, FSX, tell me...

    How do I get the terrain altitude at a location?

    Is there a way to the the height of the terrain at a specific location? I know I can get the height for an object but I would like to request the height for various locations. I looked through the sdk help file and all I could find was for requesting the hat/hot for an object. Steve

    The problem with that is on my system there is too much of a performance difference between windowed and full screen.

    With two monitors want to only use one

    I have two monitors attached and they work fine. I can open other views on the second monitor with no problem. But I don't want FSX to take over both monitors. I want to run some other graphical applications on the second monitor at the same time as FSX. Does anyone know if there is a way to...

    Cloud layers question

    Thanks, that helped. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong but I can get multiple cloud layers now. Steve

    Cloud layers question

    Then what am I missing? In the help file under SimConnect_WeatherSetObservation where the Metar data format is described there is a column labeled Multiple Entries. For both Partial Obscuration and Sky Conditions it says No for multiple entries. And when I put multiple entries they don't work...
