• 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 Howto change grass at custom airport

    I think the world system might be "smart", so if you compile the airport with apron that has grass type, when you load the built package in your sim it might show up correctly as grass. Not sure but think its worth testing, sometimes the "world system" wont react to changes you make in the...

    MSFS20 Aerial Images (Airport Background)

    Some progress for me, got the masking of the aerial image done and into sim, works nicely and you can hardly tell the difference where the added aerial image is when theres "MSFS aerial" around it to blend to. One thing i noticed is when working with .pngs with transparency, the tile tool will...

    MSFS20 Aerial Images (Airport Background)

    Yeah, definitely check your region settings as Eugen stated, that was my problem at first as well but after running for few seconds i would get an error log file and it would end. Thought your problem was something else but definitely check that windows uses . for decimal marker

    MSFS20 Aerial Images (Airport Background)

    I had similar issue where the tool would just keep running but nothing happening, it was due to my mistake in putting the corner coordinates correctly in the .map file manually. I had bottom right and bottom left corners mixed up, after switching them right way around i could work my files again...

    MSFS20 Aerial Images (Airport Background)

    The aerial images i have from this location (in finland) have special coordinate system for our region, so I had to warp the image first using gdalwarp (now im doing the process as part of the toolset in QGIS software) into epsg:3395 WGS84 World Mercator projection (as kindly pointed out by...

    MSFS20 Load new scenery package without restarting sim

    According to the SimpleAerial tutorial, to update the aerial scenery in a location you have to teleport to a far away location and then come back (very nice and easy with developer tool windows -> teleport window). Ive confirmed it works with my aerial scenery, but deleting my airport that didnt...

    MSFS20 Aerial Images (Airport Background)

    So with the help of Eugen_1975 I was able to get my aerial images to sim, the problem was with windows regional settings as my decimal place pointer was , and it must be . for the tool to parse the .map file correctly. I think im getting same lod problems as discussed above, but i will...

    MSFS20 Aerial Images (Airport Background)

    Hello, thanks for the program! I have been trying to work my local aerial images to be used by your tool, but now I think i am out of ideas as I cant think of what im doing wrong. Right now i have .tiff files in correct projection in WGS84 that i have made using gdalwarp and then using QGIS i...

    MSFS20 High Level Overview of MSFS2020 Tech

    I can't help with the elevation files but i was just looking at the SimpleAerial sample in the SDK and the file format for the aerial data seems to be CGL aswell.

    Looks very good, thank you! :D

    MSFS20 Terraforming flattening problem

    I believe the effect is due to the Falloff distance setting, by default it is something like 500, for sharp edges you want to put it down to zero or close to zero. It's in the Polygon Properties tab.

    Creating GA parking "rectangles"

    Wow, that looks amazing! I was sure someone on here knew how to do it :) I'll try it later on today as it is morning here in Finland now and I have real life stuff to do first... :D

    Creating GA parking "rectangles"

    Thanks for the idea, made some kind of progress.. Taxiway without any sort of lines didnt really show anything in sim, but apron links with center lines and width 2 meters created something that is of far resemblance with the layout. edit: posted same time as you Golf-HotelDelta, i'll look...

    Creating GA parking "rectangles"

    Hello. I've been doing some work on this finnish airport, but since it's my first addon creation I planned to just make a AFCAD for version 1.0 and afterwards upgrade it to 2.0 with a groundpoly once I have time to learn how to make a nice looking one. I encountered couple of differences...

    FSXA Problem with copying geodata with gdal

    Lol :D That was indeed the problem, I had installed it in 32-bit BMP instead of 24bit. Deleted alpha channel and installed in 24-bit, and voilá: (Don't laugh at how it looks :D ) It's all rock hard ground surface now. Thanks a bunch, now I'll start to actually trying to get it look...
