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.

Blender 2.70, Blender2FSX Tools (Video Tutorials)
Kris That makes sense. It sure would be nice to be able to do everything in Blender and then have a seamless export to the major FS programs. From what I have seen in the numerous videos I have watched it seems very clunky with all you have to do to get something into any of the flight... -

Kris I have finished watching your videos on texturing. I may have missed it but, why do you guys use Gimp for texturing? I would think you could do all of it with Blender? It just seems to be very clunky and prone to errors and problems having to switch back and forth between all of the... -

FSXA Airbus A350 XWB
F747fly is this your first model? I am trying to learn Blender and create a simple model. I am not sure I could do anything nearly this complex. Even on my simple model it still seems that the progress is very slow. Kris and the others have been a big help but some of the work is just... -

Thanks for the help Kris. All I have to do is figure out how to make the curves at the end of the spokes. I think I can use the spin tool or the bevel tool to make them. Now all I need to do is add the details and put the parts together. Once you get the hang of Blender I think it much... -

Another question for the experts. I am working on the nose gear pictured in post #157. I have made each separate part like Kris suggested except the wheel hub. I watched a video showing how to make a hubcap. He made one half of spoke and then used the mirror and array modifier but, he is... -

That would be really helpful, especially for the beginners. Your videos are excellent because you go through them slowly step by step. I have watched a lot of videos but most of them are done by guys that blow through them so fast you can't follow what they are doing. They assume you already... -

Kris I have made pretty good progress on the cockpit and instrument panel. A quick question. I have a drawing of the nose gear. It is not aligned like I like but I think I can use it. If I want it detailed like the picture should I make each part separately and then join them? Some of the... -

Will FSX and P3D be able to access all of the memory? They way I understand it FSX is limited by the amount of memory it can use, on the other hand X-Plane can access all of it. That will really improve the realism. If we develop a plane for FSX and decide later to export it to another... -

Thanks Kris that helps a lot. I was watching a video last night about the future of FS. A lot of the people on the panel were pretty negative about the future of FSX since Microsoft stop supporting it. They seemed to think X-Plane which is designed to run on 64 bit computers is where... -

That's what I'm not clear about. How to make a canopy you can see through. Where can I find more information on an alpha channel? I don't quite understand that. Hal -

Kris I started over on my fuselage after looking at the changes you made to mine and using Mr. Daan's example for beginning the basic design. Starting with a cube and the spin move made it much easier and more accurate. Your re-do of my fuselage gave me a good example of how to do the canopy... -

Tutorial: Simple light aircraft fuselage with multiple cross-sections
Wow! You sure made something simple out of what took me weeks to create. Like the saying goes "Anyone can make something complicated, only a genius can make it simple". I agree Kris. Using the spin tool is a great idea. -

I have been studying your fuselage. I didn't realize you modified what I had until I looked closer. My question is what tools are you guys using to get the smooth look you did and add curved surfaces to square surfaces? I think Mr. Daan's tutorial will be a huge help to beginners like your... -

Blender 2.70, Blender2FSX Tools (Video Tutorials)
Here's a question for any of the experts. As I stated earlier I am brand new to computer modeling and animation. I selected a plane to start with that I thought would be simple to model. I have since found out that's that not so true. With a V-tail I ran into rigging problems because of the... -

Kris I know what you mean about taking it a little at a time. I have been building and flying RC aircraft for years and that is the way I have always approached it. I was wondering where my mistake was? I don't have FSX on the machine I have been working on. Could that be why I was having... -

That is really neat! Now all I need to do is figure out how in the world you did it. I don't know how long you have been at this but I can see I have a long way to go. I was going to try an make an instrument panel, retracting gear and a canopy that opens but I'm wondering if that is biting... -

They are all 1.00 but still does not rotate p Thanks for all your trouble. I downloaded your file and mine is set up exactly like it but is still does the same thing. I have checked the scale and they are all 1.00. I ran your version and it works fine so it doesn't seem to be a bug in the... -

Kris I hate to keep bothering you with these questions. I followed your video step by step and everything works as it should until I try and play the animation. Rather than rotating up and down it rotates in a circular motion with some up and down movement. Did I miss a step? Hal -

Thanks Kris. That makes sense. I have one quick question. When you selected the front vertices of the elevator did you use a speed key? I have been using the B key and selecting a certain area but I noticed in your video you didn't seem to do that. I thought I saw in a video some where...
