• 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.

    Transform Object Question

    Trying to make static dc-3 using samm. Using FSX and P3Dv2. In P3D, landing gear is under ground. In FSX, it is perfect. Question: The dc-3 is a tail dragger. Is there some way to raise the front wheels and leave the rear wheel alone? I use the *Y* to move aircraft upward. Of course the...

    Contact Points Question

    Gadgets, just a bit of a update. After trying a few times with the static_cg_height, now all three wheels are below ground level. So I will continue to work with this. Viewing the aircraft in MCX looks very level. Hopefully, I will go back to the aircraft.cfg and raise the complete aircraft...

    P3D Aircraft Question

    Installed the new update of P3D. Once installed, I downloaded a Cessna 172 and placed it in the Simobjects Airplanes folder. It does not show in the vehicles window. This is a flyable, not AI. The default aircraft show. Is there a setting somewhere I need to set so I can see all the...

    OK Sir; under the Scenery Properties I see Date Created: March 10, 2015 at 10:30:20 AM. I thought the date and time change would be reflective here also. Now, when I highlight the file and put the pointer over it, it says 3-12-15 at 1:29 PM. Mr. tqibson - What Refresh Button are you speaking...
