• 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.

FSDS 3.5 Transparent Radar object

Hello friends,

I've been studing a FSDS file on how a ships radar is constructed when I noticed that the radar dish was transparent inside of FSDS as in wire form, rather than being a solid object which has not had any textures applied.

I have never seen this techique done before as usually a transparent part of an object requires a texture and that transparent part is usually a solid colour, often green.

When I saved the radar dish as a stand alone piece and reloaded it to a new window, it appeared solid, like it had lost its transparent information in the saving process.

Now there are NO textures applied to either of the objects, so what made the original object look like a wire and transparent dish.

Can any body explain in laymans terms, how this techique is performed in FSDS. See screen shots attached for what I'm talking about.

Any advice would be appreciated,

Hi mile_high

Where did you get the original Version OHP_27? I would like to look at it.

And did you put the textures for it in the folder that you have FSDS set to look in?

Yes, it was made in an early FSDS version. I have now scrapped it and remade it again FSDS3.5.1 and all is working as it should.
