• 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.

Looks cool :).

Actually, this week I have been animating my typical Dutch windmill as well. The only thing left to do is to rotate it into the wind.
 
thats what id like to do but im pondering how to do it , would think it would need various models set to diff wind strenght

Yes, but I am testing a way where you just tweak the source code a bit to get this effect. But as I wrote I am still testing it, so not sure if it will work 100% correct.
 
JeffS, it looks great! May I ask You, did You make it from scratch in gmax or did You put the FSDS2 file through some converter to get in GMAX?

Best regards,
 
Thanks Everyone !

Goran, i made it from scratch and even worked out how to array all by my self haha.

I now use the array function for most of the objects im creating for a scenery for a new release in 2005 for australian simulations.

Ladders, Step Ladders, Windmills.

I think FSDS was a help tho with getting to grips with 3D modelling and my background as a builder using Autocad yrs ago wich enabled me to grasp the real world concept of modelling.

Im allso using custom made textures from photos with a few hand paints.

It has taken over 3 yrs tho to get this far overall but its been fun learning thanks to you, Arno, Dick , Luis and many others.

best rgds Jeff
