• 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 I have the same model with several different textures ?

    Hello, maybe I´m just to obtuse to find out myself, but I´m wondering if there is a more efficient way of having multiple different textures on the exact same model / mesh than what I´m doing at the moment. I created a kayak in blender and applied a single 1024x512 albedo texture to it, the top...

    Hi, I was wondering if there is an easy way to convert Normal Maps from OpenGL to Direct-X. I create my models in Blender which uses the OpenGL standarf for normal maps, while MSFS expects Direct X normal maps. Thanks and cheers, Fabian

    3D Grass on custom aerial image

    Hi, I have a question concerning the placement of 3D grass on custom aerial images. In an older thread from last year someone stated that the sim engine automatically places 3D grass according to the "green-ness" of the underlying satellite imagery, so if a part of the aerial image is bright...

    MSFS texture size increases enormously during package generation

    Hi everyone, I have a question. I´m nearly finished with my next aiport scenery. Now I wanted to do some perfomance optimization and tweaking and realized that the finsihed package was almost 500 MB large, which I deemed just too much for a small airport project. The culprit seems to be very...
