• 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.

    MSFS20 Object in Wrong Position

    I've been away for a bit, but trying to get back into MSFS scenery design. I'm working on getting one project using the latest build of ADE, and I have this one model which in ADE is set back from the runway. When I build the project and go to that location in MSFS, the object is right up...

    MSFS20 Converting

    I used to know how to do this, but it looks like things have changed. I want to take a model I have and convert the texturing to a different format. Right now it uses bmp textures and they don't show when compiling for MSFS. I've been told that png textures might work. How do I change the...

    MSFS20 Models

    I hope I'm not repeating a question, I looked but couldn't find anything. I've followed the procedure in the documentation to add a custom model to a scenery project. But when I go to the field, there is nothing there. Any suggestions as to what the issue might be?

    MSFS20 Opening Old Projects

    Jon, Is there a way to open older projects in ADE for 2020, so that I can try to update them for the current version? If I use open, the only choice is a *.apf file.

    Texturing

    Hello to everyone. I've been building 3D objects for use in Flight Simulator for 20 years, but have been doing it with FSDS, which was relatively user friendly. Now i'm trying to re-create an object in Blender, and while I've managed to get the basic object built, I can't figure out how to...

    expected at least one object with no parent

    I've built a very simple project in Blender, it's just one object. But when I try to import it into MCX it gives me this error message. What do I need to do to resolve it?

    MSFS20 Best Program

    I'm wondering what everyone thinks the best program is for creating scenery objects. I used FSDS for 20 years, and it was great, but someone in another thread said it likely would no longer do. Sketchup is now on-line only. Blender looks pretty advanced, but maybe it's the only choice?

    MSFS20 Taxiway Lighting

    Wondering if you can provide a little guidance regarding the edge lighting on taxiways. The project I'm working on has a main taxiway that runs parallel to the runway. At the south end, it is lit as I expect. Then it changes so there is only center lighting. I have tried selecting each...

    MSFS20 Download location

    Where can i get ModelConverter for use with MSFS? The pinned post seems to be several years old. I've been using FSDS for object creation for 20 years now, can it still be used to build for the current sim?

    MSFS20 Well...It WAS working

    ADE was compiling, but then as I added more stuff, it started throwing up errors. Attached is the output, it seems not to like the REGION, but I can't insert anything into the properties box. I added a VOR which also required an ID, but I deleted it in an effort to troubleshoot this. So now...

    Looking To Begin

    For the first time since FS-5.1 back in the 90s, I'm flying vanilla MSFS. I'd lie to get back into scenery creation, especially recreating some of the fields I used to frequent in the FS9/FSX/P3D days. I've seen there is an Intro to MSFS Scenery Design, is that what most people are using to...

    Light Splash

    Hello everyone, I'm trying to convert one of my old aircraft that worked in FSX so it can be used in P3Dv4. I can't get the landing/taxi lights to show against the taxiways. I have created parts with the appropriate names, and matching material names. It worked in FSX, but I don't see...

    Keyframe Numbers?

    Hello to everyone, I've made lots of aircraft models before, but they were always "hybrid" models made using MakeMdl. I'm trying to upgrade to native FSX models so my work will be compatible with P3D. I have a document from the FSX SDK that shows the number of keyframes an animated part has...

    Taxi Links

    I'm trying to update one of my old airports for use in P3D, but I can't get the taxi ways to show. I have selected all the links and all the nodes and set them to Draw Detail and Draw Surface all on, but they still don't show up. What more do I need to do?

    ADE Pro

    There was a question asked recently about how one could make a change to an airport, the suggested answer was to use ADE. The responder then said there was a free version and a pro version which you could pay for. Is this correct? Or is someone attempting to make a profit off of someone...

    Installations

    Every time I install a new version of ADE, I'm left with a few thing missing. I have to install the generic buildings myself, and also I have a lot missing from the thumbs folder.folder. Do these things work for others, or do they have to install everything as well?

    P3D v4 Taxiways

    Airports made for P3D, the taxiways disappear, the lines are there but not surfaces. Is there a way to make everything visible?
