• 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.

Airport Specifications

As some of you know I'm doing a series of airports in Central Florida and I check with AirNav for their specifications for the Airport. While AirNav might say that an airport may have a 2 degree Magnetic Varation, and FSX may also say this in the description of the same airport, I get a different reading while on the runway. I have FSX.cfg set to give both and If, for instance I get a 2 degree var. it might say that the Heading is 122 degrees and the Mag heading is 127 degrees. Thats a 5 degree difference and thats enough to drive you crazy trying to get a runway set right. The setting that I have in the FSX.cfg is:
{TextInfo.1}
Latitude=1,1
Longitude=1,2
Altitude=1,3
Heading=1,4
HeadingTrue=1,5
AirSpeed=1,6
WindDirectionAndSpeed=1,7


{TextInfo.2}
FrameRate=1,1
LockedFrameRate=1,2
GForce=1,3
FuelPercentage=1,4


{TextInfo.3}
Latitude=1,1
Longitude=1,2
Altitude=1,3
Heading=1,4
HeadingTrue=1,5
AirSpeed=1,6
WindDirectionAndSpeed=1,7
FrameRate=2,1
LockedFrameRate=2,2
GForce=2,3
FuelPercentage=2,4


{SlewTextInfo.1}
Latitude=1,1
Longitude=1,2
Altitude=1,3
Heading=1,4
HeadingTrue=1,5
AirSpeed=1,6


{SlewTextInfo.2}
FrameRate=1,1
LockedFrameRate=1,2


{SlewTextInfo.3}
Latitude=1,1
Longitude=1,2
Altitude=1,3
Heading=1,4
HeadingTrue=1,5
AirSpeed=1,6
FrameRate=2,1
LockedFrameRate=2,2

Substitute the square brackets for the curley ones.
Also... I don't know if this will happen to you but I worked for 2 days on an airport with ADE and I found out the last bgl was dated 4 days ago. ADE was not saving to the Addon Scenery\scenery folder while FSX was running. Please check the dates and time after you "save airport" as it may not be saving. I found I had that folder set as Required=True in the scenery.cfg and that may have been the reason it didn't overwrite the old one while FSX was running.
I hope I have saved some grief for someone trying to learn this new scenery method.
