• 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.

    Arn't beacons important?

    Dizzy actually. It is tiresome to fly in a tight circle for a longer period of time, that's why I'm glad that it is rotating now...:D

    Arn't beacons important?

    I did put a beacon on manually, with the glow and everything, and it did not rotate. I loaded the airport at Friday Harbor and saw the <AttachObject> tag on the beacon tower there. That's why I thought it would be an easy match to get it to rotate... after a little trial and error it rotates now...

    Arn't beacons important?

    Thanks for the explanation. I hadn't understood that the 3D model had to have an attach point available. I thought/assumed you could attach anything to any object. Beginner's naivety showing through here :rolleyes:

    Arn't beacons important?

    I guess if attach points are referred to in the 3D modeling aspects of FSX, then I could understand that they are not available in airport design software. But yes you are correct in assuming I am meaning attach points in respect to placing scenery objects. Seeing as you can tuck them nicely...

    Arn't beacons important?

    I've been looking at and evaluating software for scenery- and airport design. The three freeware I have tried all lack the ability to add attachpoints. Which means I have to edit the XML file anyway. Is there software available that allows for the creation of beacons within the program so that...

    My mess-up aftermath

    I'm sort of evaluating which path to go when it comes to software. Have any suggestions?

    My mess-up aftermath

    In lieu of the mayhem I caused myself I was wondering what I did wrong to cause FSX to freeze. I've worked with computers long enough to know that "things" just happen and am ready to hang up the incident and place it in the area of "Things Happened". But before I do that I had a couple of...

    I messed around too much and broke FSX!

    Well after a fresh, clean install things seem back to normal. I'm finding Vista extremely unstable, but downgrading to XP is not an option... Thanks again for all of the help!!

    I messed around too much and broke FSX!

    That's what I thought, I guess I just have to play around to see if I can get it to work... Thanks again for all of the help!!

    I messed around too much and broke FSX!

    After uninstalling everything in a correct manner, and loading in the RTM it still doesn't start up. I get the splash-screen, activation went well, the databases got made, and after 30 minutes of hoping it was just taking a long time FSX is still not responding... What now? I guess this...

    I messed around too much and broke FSX!

    Does that mean uninstalling SP2 then SP1 then original FSX (RTM)? Or since SP2 says that it has taken away SP1 is it enough to uninstall SP2 then RTM? Is it also so I need to move the additional aircraft I have added to have them not be deleted? Thanks again!!

    I messed around too much and broke FSX!

    Unsure of how to repair the SP2 update I uninstalled it and re-installed it. But still the same splash-screen and no continue after that... It seems like I need to uninstall FSX and re-install it...

    Jon: no FSX does not start George: I didn't know that was an option, how would I go about that? From the uninstall?

    I messed around too much and broke FSX!

    I get the splash-screen, the databases get updated, but then nothing more. I have taken away the bgl file in question. I put back the files that did work, and I have taken away everything, all in 3 or 4 different tries..

    I messed around too much and broke FSX!

    Like some others on this forum, I have been enhancing some of the stock airports around me. Particularly the one airport nearest to me ESCN (Tullinge, Sweden). I downloaded ADE and have gotten the hang of it. I even found the functionality to add stuff directly in FSX. The last thing I wanted...
