• 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.

At the request of a user and with Arno's cooperation, AIFP now has a MCX-based model viewer in the latest Development Release. If you don't have Development Release updates enabled in AIFP, you can download the new release from http://stuff4fs.com. Be sure to copy the folder MCX_dlls into your AIFP folder.

The viewer is accessible from three locations:
  • the Aircraft Editor
  • The FP Editor
  • in the context menu of the Aircraft List
Just click the View Image button/menu item.

Please note, AIFP assumes all required aircraft textures are available on your system. (It could, but repeated texture missing messages might be annoying. In any case, AIFP couldn't do anything about a missing texture.) So, if all or a portion of the aircraft in the viewer is textured with a checkerboard pattern, that's the problem. I will add a check for missing textures to the Aircraft Editor. But, in the meantime, I wanted the viewer to get some exposure.

Please give it a try.

As promised earlier, I have now added a button to the Aircraft Editor that will check for missing textures. Please download Development Release 3.2.21(c) from http://stuff4fs.com.
