• 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.

    Bearing Cue overlay on internal/external view?

    I was wondering if it is possible to add a "Bearing cue" on any view, internally and externally so when you are flying missions with several players and having to constantly look out the window (or outside spot view) to seek targets if there was a way of adding an overlay or single text line to...

    Creating effects without SDK?

    Hi, As my simconnect issue cannot be resolved without re-installing windows (which i refuse to do just for FSX), is there a way around by creating effects without using SDK (which program?) or using SDK without FSX? I can not get any of the SDK menus to show in FSX, neither can i use FSUIPC...

    Unhandled Exception - ThrowKeyNotFound

    Okay i was fiddling with my latest ship above earlier and MCX was only using 242MB of memory instead of 1.4GB so it must have been my other ship for that problem. However my main problem now, is since that other ship, i have another error... "the given key was not present in the...

    Unhandled Exception - ThrowKeyNotFound

    Hi, When i did the carrier deck markings (had to draw them on with wide lines) each of those lines also became a platform according to MCX. So instead of just having one platform to land on (the deck) i had to make the lines/markings hard as when i tested it in FSX my helicopter kept bumping...

    Unhandled Exception - ThrowKeyNotFound

    Hi Arno, I had just 8 textures to convert to DDS of which i made 5 platforms. I exported it to MDL absolutely fine after the programme came back together again. However when i went to open the MDL again in MCX and opened up the Attached Object Editor i noticed there were 3000+ platforms...

    Unhandled Exception - ThrowKeyNotFound

    I have just been trying and trying and after the 9th go at restarting, i was able to add the effect, whether or not it has worked correctly i don't know yet as i haven't tested it in FSX however the error did not appear on the 9th restart. Very odd but perhaps it has repaired itself although...

    Unhandled Exception - ThrowKeyNotFound

    Hi, I have been using MCX for some time without any errors. Yet this afternoon i was adding an effect to a ship i had modelled in Sketchup. Suddenly it became unresponsive and came up with an error dialog box stating i had run out of memory. I looked and MCX was using 1.4gb of memory!! It then...

    Textures not showing when converted to MDL/BGL in FSX

    I just went through it all again, as before i pressed the "Render Textures" button in MCX and then installed the BGL into the scenery and it is working okay. The textures are working and showing very well. Now all i have to do is get the model up to scratch on how i want it to look...

    Textures not showing when converted to MDL/BGL in FSX

    Hi, I just imported the Collada file into MCX which gave me the model showing and no texture (all white) I then opened up the Mass Texture Editor and it showed my texture as 32x32 and i checked the resize and convert check boxes and selected DDS. I pressed Update and the textures are still...

    Textures not showing when converted to MDL/BGL in FSX

    Well, I loaded the plugin as said. That was fine. However i started from scratch. Got my photo up in Photoshop and cropped out the wheel. Managed to import it into Sketchup once more. It wouldn't let me import an already converted DDS, only a JPG so i imported the JPG of the wheel and used it...

    Textures not showing when converted to MDL/BGL in FSX

    Tom, Really appreciate you testing it for me. I have no idea how the texture has become corrupt. It was originally a large photo i took of the Oshkosh tanker at a FARP. I then just copied the wheel and saved it as a seperate JPG and then imported it into Sketchup. I wonder how i can...

    Textures not showing when converted to MDL/BGL in FSX

    Thanks for the reply... Attached is the model and textures. As said, several hours of work to do, it's only a minimal model for scenery in FSX.

    Textures not showing when converted to MDL/BGL in FSX

    Hi, I am at my wits end with a little project i am doing for some scenery within FSX. I have yet to finish the vehicle but i would like to get the wheels sorted quickly. When converting the DAE file to MDL, it shows within MCX that the texture (from a photo i took) is not showing. I...

    FSXA Simple Helicopter Auto-Pilot anywhere?

    Hi, I was wondering if there was a simple auto-pilot (apart from FSXPilot and the AS330 autopilot) that anyone has come across? What i am after is just a gauge which will allow the input of knots, input of altitude (and hold) and bank angle. This is for military operations whereby in...

    FSX Flattening existing Airport problem

    Well i thought i had it sorted. All the scenery was lined up nice elevation wise. But when i add the runways, the runways are 30ft below the scenery. If i change the airport altitude then the cliffs come back again. If i change the polygon for the whole area to make the runways show, cliffs...

    FSX Flattening existing Airport problem

    Hi George, I got it sorted eventually by doing the method i described above in my last post. Took me a while but i got there. Is that scenery for FS9? I did make a merryfield scenery for FS9 but now thought i'd do the same for FSX Horizon Gen-X Ver2.0 Scenery. Thanks for all the help, all i...

    FSX Flattening existing Airport problem

    Ok i am getting somewhere i think. I've added the polygon as suggested again, this time i've elevated the whole airfield (well a square around the whole airfield) to the same elevation as the runway positions which have been causing the problem (being higher than the surrounding area in the...
