• 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 Custom aerial texture below the default one

    Try turning off photogrammetry in your settings (under Data). I think that may be the problem.

    MSFS20 OEJN for MSFS: I need technical eyes on this

    As understand it, Microsoft has the perpetual, royalty free right to copy, modify, or distribute any 3rd party addon to any of it's simulators. I believe that is in the SDK EULA. So you may be right; perhaps they did copy the previously published work. But they have the right to do so. That...

    P3D v4 Why Are There White Streaks In The Bricks When Zoomed Out

    You could try this: Simple Texture Converter But I think the real problem is the texture itself. I has a repeatable variation of brightness within the texture itself, and that will display when mapped over a large area.

    SDK MSFS2020 SDK - Scenery Tiles Compilation Error Message

    In your PackageDefinitions XML (sp-uph-tiles.xml) delete the marketplace asset group text. Your folder setup was wrong for that and you don't need it.

    MSFS24 Converting ktx2 textures

    I used the VFS projector to extract the entire microsoft_c185f_skywagon folder to the desktop, and then examined the glass_albd,ktx2. It displays fine in Extract_KTX2 pack and also the nvtt_export app.

    Textures cannot be exported

    LFEH-avitionblues.zip I reworked the folder structure and the PackageDefinitions. The sim couldn't find the textures. I don't think you are using the correct Asobo exporter (it's in the SDK)

    Textures cannot be exported

    I deleted the link to ModsFile. It is extremely suspicious. The download links to "OperaSetup.exe" Please use another web source for the download.

    MSFS24 Need help removing trees from a runway

    You'd be better off simply making a new airport. This package is for MSFS2020. And, it is unusual. The name was changed to MYFC, but the original was MYE3, and I don't know why the dev changed the ICAO. In the real world, it is MYE3. Also the runway and taxiways, and parking is disconnected. The...

    Textures cannot be exported

    Without the project, it just is a guessing game. Make a small version of this error into a project, zip it, put it in the cloud and give us a link so we can troubleshoot it. The project needs to have the relevant textures, models, placements, etc... (not necessarily your entire project)

    MSFS24 bglindex.bout - Is the file redundant?

    The layout.json lists the file as part of the package, so I would say it's needed. 2024 uses it, but 2020 does not. Maybe it helps with the streaming of the package or it's insertion into the running sim? I would leave it alone.

    MSFS20 Asobo exporter - what Blender versions?

    Hi John. I don't know if there is any advantage to using anything but Blender 3.6 for MSFS2020. Most changes to newer blender versions seems aimed at rendering. The glTF format hasn't changed and the Asobo addon works well with Blender 3.6

    FSX:SE Sim Connect Hell

    FSX Simconnect is 32-bit, so that might be an issue, MSFS 2020 and 2024 are 64-bit. I did find this https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/a-tutorial-on-writing-an-autopilot-using-simconnect-and-javascript/596933 Here's a C# app that will work with 32-bit...

    “Helpful”AI

    Ai is still lying at times. I've had some fun with having AI write code. Sometimes it's nonsense, but often I can switch between CoPilot, Gemini, Chatgpt, Claude, and Grok, and have one AI correct the code of another AI's poor coding. That's allowing me to code in python, a language I never...

    blender to msfs2024 exports textures but no .xml files

    When I have a Blender project, I keep the .blend, and all textures in the same working folder. If I am making an onion, I would have an onion folder on my desktop. In that folder I would have all my textures to be used and the onion.blend I would make sure all the textures in the blender file...

    MSFS20 xbox vs steam in fs2020

    Somewhere in the multitude of internet data, someone wrote that "serious players preferred Steam". CoPilot is just spitting out that statement. CoPilot doesn't think or determine the truth or value of what it finds. All AI is stupid. In some cases, AI can be helpful, but in general, you cannot...
