• 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.

    MSFS Big help needed : Airport discarded as it cannot find airport in ICAO index list

    OK, so I deleted the version in community, recompiled with fspackagetool and linked it in with MSFS Addons Linker. That works! So, its not a problem of the DevMode, but a caching problem. After deleting my airports from the content.xml, they all appeared again.

    MSFS Big help needed : Airport discarded as it cannot find airport in ICAO index list

    OK, I recomiled CWOB via the fspackagetool this time and put it directly in community folder. My normal approach is MSFS Addons Linker, but I thought better put it in directly. It does show up now, so I just guess that DevMode is broken.

    MSFS Big help needed : Airport discarded as it cannot find airport in ICAO index list

    I have recreated this on from scratch (via the new airport wizard) also and copied the old data over. Now it compiles at least, but it does not show up.

    MSFS Big help needed : Airport discarded as it cannot find airport in ICAO index list

    Its not the Marketplace Data. I have the next one that does not compile (in DEV mode, dont know any other) because of the same error. "Did not find Airport in ICAO index file. AIRPORT CWOB IS DISCARDED."

    MSFS Big help needed : Airport discarded as it cannot find airport in ICAO index list

    I have redone it again from scratch. This time it did show up. Now, I am going to build back the data slowly to find the culprit. I guess it's that Marketplace data.

    MSFS Big help needed : Airport discarded as it cannot find airport in ICAO index list

    I have quite the same problem. In the past I have created 6 airports, 2 of them stopped showing up. I now have recreated one airport and that worked. However if I apply the same method to the other, it does not work. I get the message "Airport is discarded." I have now stopped work, because I...

    Ground services small ga airfield, parking ramp without workers

    I have removed all AirportServices files and changed all parking spaces to SMALL with a radius of 5 meters. This seems to get rid of most of the workers. At least I saw none when loading all of the airports several times.

    Ground services small ga airfield, parking ramp without workers

    I have now a different problem. Users tell me that all services on ALL airports disappear when they use my sceneries. Any idea how to fix this?

    Ground services small ga airfield, parking ramp without workers

    It usually does not matter how you name the file.

    Ground services small ga airfield, parking ramp without workers

    Does it actually compile the XML to a SPB? Or is it still an XML in the Packages folder? Where does the new file land?

    Ground services small ga airfield, parking ramp without workers

    Yes, I have also used that solution previously on land based airports. But I have some airports that have TRUE docks and ramps (like CWOB - Brevoort Island • Flight Simulator 2020 or CJN7 - Little Churchill River / Dunlop's Fly-in Lodge • Flight Simulator 2020) and then people would get their...

    Ground services small ga airfield, parking ramp without workers

    I have compiled a complete instruction from the sources found here. I hope that helps others. Remove Airport Ground Services (1.12.13.0) - SDK Discussion / Airports - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

    Ground services small ga airfield, parking ramp without workers

    Something changed with the new update (1.12.13.0). If the output path is set to "AircraftServices/<ICAO>" (mandated by compiler), the SPB is now generated in "Packages/<package_name>/scenery/AirportServices/<ICAO>" (instead of "Packages/<package_name>/AirportServices/<ICAO>"). This seems to be...

    Prop wash ruins the entire ground handling in MSFS

    I have solved the issue with a phantom water rudder, which seems to work just fine for my purposes.

    Prop wash ruins the entire ground handling in MSFS

    I have stumbled on this post and have to agree. It seems rudder input has to be greatly increased to handle a taildragger on the ground. But that way it’s nearly impossible to keep it straight on a runway once up to speed on takeoff or landing. It is also true for the amphibians. While the Icon...

    MSFS Drawing a Lake - Graphic Glitches

    I have just found multiple locations where this happens in other places, too. But not all of my co flyers could see it. So, might be a setting as well ...

    MSFS Drawing a Lake - Graphic Glitches

    These white dots are all over the place, I believe they are either reflections or unsharpness in the original image. But I can get rid of them. If that were roads how come they run perpendicular to each other across the lake (more like grid lines)? And different each time I draw the lake...

    Covering Bing map textures

    Yes, add an apron (ground following) and set the material to water. Set a falloff distance to merge the apron texture better. After that set custom coloration and try to get it as close to the ground as possible. Of course this only works if you have an airport the apron belongs to.

    MSFS Drawing a Lake - Graphic Glitches

    I have added a lake that was missing into MSFS by drawing a polygon and filling it with Water (LAKE). I see glitches like below and despite redrawing the lake completely 3 times, they always reappear (alltough in different locations). I have tried to fix it with terraforming, excludes, aprons...

    MSFS Editing a default aircraft

    OK, I did get me Blender and the plugins required (bestdani/msfs2blend & Blender2MSFS). And then I tried to just rotate the AOA needle a bit (different topic, I know) to get it more the way it looks in real life, but the cockpit does not get loaded when back in the sim. Bummer! I guess I have...
