• 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.

    AeroFly FS 2 support in scenProc

    Arno, Sorry for asking probably a simple question - but do I somehow merge the exclusion polys into a single KML file or do I use multiple separate KML files? Thanks Dave W.

    AeroFly FS 2 support in scenProc

    Arno, I'm not sure we flightsimmers that are using Aerofly FS2 have thanked you enough for ScenProc and how it generates our buildings, trees, and lights so easily (what we call cultivation ). The exclude file capability works so well even with very complex shapes. Would it be possible to...

    AeroFly FS 2 support in scenProc

    Arno, Thanks for putting so much time in - we all have greatly benefited from your work through the years. If there is anything I could help with on the building detection testing or tuning (not coding unless it is real simple), please let me know. Dave W.

    AeroFly FS 2 support in scenProc

    Arno, Unfortunately the U.S.A. OSM coverage for buildings is quite limited in many areas - is there any chance that your Feature Detection capability (looking for rectangular edges of a limited range of sizes) could be used to help populate these US areas? I understand that getting...

    AeroFly FS 2 support in scenProc

    I looked up the Create Rectangle discussion from the User Manual and am unsure how to use that instead of the Shapefile. Could you please show us an example by editing the Shapefile script above to use the CreateRectangle instead - also can we use decimal degrees for the arguments? (Sorry for...

    AeroFly FS 2 support in scenProc

    Arno, What a treat to see some buildings in my hometown (Oceanside) in California where there is just a little OSM data - amazing! Thanks for your quick response since we didn't have a tool to read the OSM and make a TOC file that was generalized like ScenProc. I need to read up on QGIS...

    AeroFly FS 2 support in scenProc

    I hate to ask newbie questions, but here goes: Goal: Select small area of california-latest.osm (or whatever OSM data from Geofabrik) so as to view in QGIS and limit what ScenProc has to deal with Do you use QGIS to select a rectangular area (not sure how to do that without it taking forever)...

    AeroFly FS 2 support in scenProc

    The real strength of FS2 is the frame rate that supports very fluid VR . Amazing!! Try it on Steam

    Minimize Drawcalls seems to affect FS2 render visibility

    Arno, Thanks for looking into this. Here are a couple of example photos. One correct and the other using Minimize Drawcalls

    Minimize Drawcalls seems to affect FS2 render visibility

    I am using MCX to convert a DAE format model to AC3D AC format for use in Aerofly FS2 (Great VR performance!). The Sketchup DAE model has many textures and I thought about using Minimize Drawcalls to merge them. It seemed to work and the model with a couple of remaining textures looks fine in...

    Aerofly FS 2: Scenery Geoconvert Tool Coming Soon

    What would be really nice as well would be a way to go from FSX/BGL to Blender for model editing to TGI format which is required for FS2. Arno was going to talk to IPACS developers about this. I went ahead and just bought AC3D and it is working fine but maybe having a freeware editor like...

    Aerofly 2 Released; Beta; Steam Games

    @lionheart, I use FsEarthTiles to get the BMP - set at 0.25meters per pixel. Use what is called service 2 Dave http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/content.php?17223-Build-Your-Own-VFR-Scenery-With-FSEarthTiles

    Here is an example of some user generated scenery for Whidbey Island, WA using the $89 3D Modeller tool called AC3D and the Aerofly FS2 SDK:

    Blender Tool Set for Aerofly FS 2?

    Arno, Not quite sure what you want for an example of the smooth shading(versus flat shaded polys) - I would think that the original MDL would have the normals set for that (not perpendicular to the poly but an average of the two (or more) adjacent polys) but it looks like that is gone when...

    Blender Tool Set for Aerofly FS 2?

    @arno, I am still using the USS Nimitz model to check the AC importer/exporter for MCX. I seem to get a few objects translated when I save to AC and then read it back in as AC. I don't see the translated pieces in the AC3D import of the AC file, so maybe it is just in the import of AC...

    Blender Tool Set for Aerofly FS 2?

    Arno, I am making progress in moving objects to Aerofly FS2 using AC3D to convert to the TGI format. I am using Javier Fernandez's USS Nimitz as a test case to go from MDL to AC to TGI. There are some mistextured(bad UV coords or ??) items, objects moved(translated), invisible (wrong sided)...

    Blender Tool Set for Aerofly FS 2?

    @arno, I am wondering if there is any progress on your MCX to TGI capability? I will need to pay for AC3D otherwise so I can make a little scenery for FS2. Also, I am somewhat baffled by the MCX conversion to AC3D format (AC). I tried a few test objects from FSX and exported to AC and then...

    Blender Tool Set for Aerofly FS 2?

    @arno and fsdeveloper team, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the talent, expertise, and hard work that you all have and expend so that those of us who like to improve an airport/scene of interest can do so. We are always asking for changes and new ideas that will cause you to...

    Blender Tool Set for Aerofly FS 2?

    @arno, I'm not saying that it is trivial at all, but from looking at the python source for the AC3D exporter for Blender that I mentioned in this thread above to Bill https://github.com/NikolaiVChr/Blender-AC3D/tree/importWorldWithMatrix if you have the source from IPACS/Aerofly for the...
