• 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.

    Gone for a couple years and need general help

    Hi fellow designers, I burned out doing scenery about 2 years ago and now I am recharged and ready to do more. My question is: I have version 1.50.18 of the software. What steps do I need to take to upgrade? Just download a new verson? Will my airports load? Will my key still work...

    So now what do I do?

    I will say on a different subject that I am amazed at the quality of much of the work on scenery I see. Makes my stuff look like stick drawings! LOL! The ADE is like crack to me. I am addicted.

    Let me be polite and thank you for your advice. Yes I am aware, but I was yanking on your chain a little. Bless your heart!

    Really? What did you design that you're concerned about? I will ensure it is not used. ;-)

    So now what do I do?

    Well, I have mostly completed a very large scenery distribution with static helicopters and AI ones. It includes 10 heliports and associated oil rig scenery offshore. All the files are ready to zip but... I don't have a second PC to test out to enure nothing is missing. Anyone fly helos...

    Water texture

    Nevermind. It was indeed the old water.r8 file. I made a version more closely resembling the FSX texture within the limits of *GASP* 256X256 pixels.

    Water texture

    Anyone know offhand what the filename is for the water apron texture in ADE is? Mine shows up as dark blue like the water.r8 file from fs98. I want to at least recolor it to match the fsx texture.... Thanks!

    Taking a Break

    It always happens; when I get to the party everyone else is leaving... HA! (I found out that I am the reason they're leaving). Seriously, I know the feeling of needing a rest. I was hooked on the "crack" of scenery design '98 thru 2003 and had to take a break when it was driving me silly...

    Here's Why I was Asking....

    Well, although this works from a distance, flying next to the platform you can see the apron and runway. Can anyone point me to a program for creating a hard surface? I need a clear hard surface 850' by 300' oriented north/south and at 116 feet that I can feed a lat/lon to. A clear apron...

    Here's Why I was Asking....

    Roby, Recently, I was wondering why I couldn't make an airport suspended in air to help solve a problem getting AI helicopters to land on oil rigs. You helped with your post back when about making a hard surface airport for an aircraft carrier. I realized that the carrier was like "air" to...

    Here's Why I was Asking....

    Thanks to Roby for his Aircraft Carrier post and those who tried to help me with "midair" runways. Here's a test of the concept to land AI Helicopters on an Oil Rig. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SuhXPsUZ-U Have more work to do but it works...

    Why use FSUIPC with ADE?

    I get that fsuipc allows 3rd party software to talk to fsx. Why use it with ADE? What do you see? What functionality does it give you in ADE? If this is already answered somewhere, give me a nudge in the right direction. My cycle is develope in ADE, save and compile, then start up FSX to...

    Newest in my series: dumber than the last question

    Nevermind, its Robystar and I read it. Will give it a try. I found out that a supertanker makes a great helicopter landing area for AI birds. Hee hee!

    Explaining gravity to a chicken does no good.

    Newest in my series: dumber than the last question

    Roby who and where did he post it? A search of the forum turned up bupkis. Thank you all for your kind replies. I have gotten the runways in the air, but they move around like nervous cat's tail. Kinda funny to see...

    Newest in my series: dumber than the last question

    When creating a runway, I see the altitude greyed out. Is there any way to create a runway suspended in the air? I could use this to land AI choppers on offshore platforms. Humor me please????

    Landing Gear Deployment

    It got down to understanding the contact points as a matrix better. [contact_points] point.0=1, 4.83, 3.33, -4.45, 1574.8, 1, 0.5187, 50.0, 0.286975, 2.5, 0.605067, 5.0, 4.0, 2.0, 0.0, 0.0 point.1=1, -3.50, -3.33, -4.45, 1574.8, 0, 0.5187, 0.00, 0.396299, 2.5, 0.728164, 4.0, 3.0...

    AI Aircraft landing lights gone :(

    Please let me know what you find. I'd like to kill the landing lights in my AI helicopters for good.

    Like most things, I figure them out with enough mental elbow grease. Problem solved on the landing gear.
