• 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.

    MSFS24 My first Worldscript - boat not showing up

    Ahh! Great point! I changed the name of the Simobject and where it is used (sim.cfg, script, etc) and can't make it show up. I may have to erase everything related to this and rebuild from ground up... Thanks Dick

    MSFS24 My first Worldscript - boat not showing up

    Hi, This is the project. You will find in the Simobject folder that I tested with two models of ponton boats (ponton2 and ponton gros) https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4fh56r2zqloe5vqht6k4u/CSP8-Lac-Sept-Iles-seaplane-2024.zip?rlkey=2kzwgjxewf52rt3nzbvy679pm&st=vcm772ik&dl=0 Thanks Dick

    MSFS24 My first Worldscript - boat not showing up

    Hi Dick, Many thanks for your answer and template. We do see the ponton boat in your scenery and I can see the boat in my Simobject list in the SDK under your scenery. However, I compared the scructure of 41WI and my CSP8 project and can't see a difference, except for the absence of worldscript...

    MSFS24 My first Worldscript - boat not showing up

    Hi, I've been following Superspud (moving boats) and Pinoti tips to create moving boats with a worldscript. I'm used to create costum objects, so I reused one of my ponton boat into a project (CSP8) that I update since many sims/years, with the intention to introduce a more living/moving world...

    MSFS24 2024 LOD system is horrible, how to get models to stay sharp for a reasonable distance using MCX lod creator

    A few trials later, these are the steps taken: 1- Created the LODs in MCX as proposed : 2- Loaded back the XML to see the result. This is the weird step because it should stay 100, 80, etc. 3- Rewrite the XML as proposed by Dick (if my interpretation was right): 4- Check the result in...

    MSFS24 2024 LOD system is horrible, how to get models to stay sharp for a reasonable distance using MCX lod creator

    This is what I did : started with 100 in MCX but when loading it back the XML to check the result, I get another result than 100.

    MSFS24 2024 LOD system is horrible, how to get models to stay sharp for a reasonable distance using MCX lod creator

    On my side, I put the exact same commands to create the LOD but when in the sim, I get a melted object because MCX start with LOD 615 instead of 100. Loading back the XML shows the issue : This is the XML content. It would be nice if we could reedit manualy the LOD in the XML: <?xml...

    MSFS24 2024 LOD system is horrible, how to get models to stay sharp for a reasonable distance using MCX lod creator

    Ok, interesting trick! I was using this method and the objects were desapearing too quickly but I see you are using a very low grid size and not reducing the triangle count for the few first LODs. That is new to me and will try for sure!

    MSFS24 2024 LOD system is horrible, how to get models to stay sharp for a reasonable distance using MCX lod creator

    The initial triangle count is 43302

    MSFS24 2024 LOD system is horrible, how to get models to stay sharp for a reasonable distance using MCX lod creator

    Hi, I'm following your discussion with interest since I have the same question than Tim: how to use MCX for LOD in the new FS2024 environnement. Testing with a snowmobile here. MCX was doing good until I tested it in the sim. I realised that even if I asked MCX to create LOD 100, 60, etc, when...

    Unable to use the new version

    Mmm! So it's one texture's fault then. I found the way to remove almost all textures, and the faulty one, in Sketchup and everything seam to work, being able to export from Sketchup and load in MCX. Thanks very much Gary and Arno!

    Unable to use the new version

    Thanks Gary! Have you try to export it? It make crash Sketchup on my side but not Blender. I don't know why now and not before (no changes made).
