• 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.

    Can you read/write aircraft specific variables (LVARs and HVARS) through simconnect?

    Thanks. That looks like a better way to go for me.

    Can you read/write aircraft specific variables (LVARs and HVARS) through simconnect?

    What the title says. I've been reading other threads and have seen folks told to use FUIPC but I'd rather do it without that. Thanks

    Does Simconnect work with VS2022?

    I tried it with C# .net 6. Worked fine. The pinned example mentioned VS2019. Wasn't sure, maybe something had changed with VS2022. In any case, it works. Thanks!

    XPlane G1000 - Any way to change altitude Alert

    I have a couple of airplanes that use the X-Plane G1000. Instead of the "1000 to go" alert happening at 1000 ft to go it happens between 100-200 ft. I'm wondering if there's a way to fix that (e.g. a setting in the G1000). Thanks!

    K...thank you! I'll give it a try.

    So, do you mark out faces (polygons) where the stamps go in blender to make them more accurate? I was thinking the scenery would be drawn more efficiently with fewer polygons.

    Help with Substance Painter Exporting

    Interesting video. It's tempting to think about using decals for things like windows and doors. Normally, I'd make some cuts on a wall to show where to put them but that might make a building more complex than it needs to be. Using decals I could put it all on textures. The problem is...

    Help with Substance Painter Exporting

    I'll have to learn how to adjust those bitmaps at some point. The 'S' is a bitmap itself. It's imported as a 'texture' and then I assigned it to 'Base Color' of the SP texture. I was about to just export everything and then use Photoshop to paint it on and I read the trick on a forum and...

    Help with Substance Painter Exporting

    Finally, this is what I get in the XML file when I export (everything in the dialog is checked and filled out): Looks pretty blank and it doesn't Open as a Project in MSFS. I am wondering if I should copy an XML from one of the samples and try to use it. EDIT: Hmmm. So, studying the sample...

    Do you mean select the albedo in the drop down in the UV Editor? I got it working...with a caveat....(I deleted the contents of the Shader Editor for both materials, then set the MSFS plugin to "disabled" and back to "MSFS Standard". Then, at the top of the material, I clicked Use Nodes and...

    Help with Substance Painter Exporting

    Thanks, yes. Done and fixed. Now I have the right set of images. Next step is to get the images to display in Blender. Here's the images...a simple sign. They look right. Next, here's what the sign looks like in Substance Painter... That looks pretty good. Lastly, though, here's what it...

    Help with Substance Painter Exporting

    My brain is about fried with Substance Painter today. I finally got the textures exported but I see that it's exported Roughness and Metal as separate files. The MSFS plugin expects those to be combined into different colors of the same bitmap, right? I'm using an MSFS Export Template I got...

    Texturing

    Interesting. I don't know how to use masks in SP yet. Yet. So, you can use masks instead of creating a separate window face in Blender?
