• 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 Attached lights showing on ground level in MSFS 2020

    Hello Arno, one thing I have noticed with exporting attached lights. Some updates ago, this feature was working fine - lights attached to a model exported properly into MSFS 2020 (I was working with X Plane obj file).

    MSFS Sim crashing when terraforming and corrupting the associated shp file

    Hello to all, Hopefully this might help if someone runs into similar situation :) The sim crashed several times on me when I was adapting the terrain mesh with some polygons with terraforming properties.

    FSXA Height of row houses

    Hello all, In my project, I have identified the right footprints for row houses. Now I am trying to fiddle with their heights. It appears that the height of row houses is random and there is no way to influence it, right? I have read Arno's manual for scenProc (I am using this tool to generate...

    FSX Polyline Buildings created but not all show up

    Hello all, My issue is exactly as described in the heading :cool: (EDIT: only the issue is applicable to P3D, not FSX) All of them show up nicely in FSX. However, not all of them show up in P3D (v2 and v3; both sims at max autogen settings). Any idea why some of them remain hidden in P3D...

    Using Cell attributes in filters

    Hi Arno, Just a question... Is it possible to use Cell attributes in filter in (e.g.) CreateAGNGenBuilding step? What is up my mind is: Say I assign an attribute to all cells with certain building density. Then I want to place certain AGNLib objects (e.g. Urban Highrise 35x35 16-20 stories)...

    P3D v3 GP with associated textures in Prepar3D v3\Texture

    Hello, I came across an interesting issue with P3D v3: I have a number of airfield sceneries and all of them include GPs (all created via ADE). Since the GP textures are common for all the GPs, I decided to remove them from airfield sceneries' texture folders and place them into the...

    FSXA White line around Ground Poly with alpha channel when seen from distance

    Hello, I am aware that a lot was written and discussed about the topic above. I used the typical "trick" of mapping the GP texture with a certain offset from the texture edge. It works OK when close to the GP. However... I still get a white / black line (depending on the texture) around the...

    Hello all, I am not new to FSX / P3D design but I am definitely new to Ground Polys... therefore I would appreciate your advice. The question is what is your preferred resolution of the GPs in cm/pxl? I tested the following: 128x128 cm of ground covered by textures with resolutions...

    Hello Arno, I would greatly appreciate, if you have a minute, if you could have a look at what is preventing this model from being displayed correctly by the MCX? I suppose it has something to do with transparency and/or LODs... but I am just guessing... Thank you Milan
