• 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.

Hi Arno

In my latest FSX scenery I have used .fx files to create people that rotate to user, 31 of them to be precise.

One thing I found took a little bit of time and could be quicker was working out the bottom left/top right (uv1 & uv2) co-ords.

One way to make this quicker would be to have a window, that when opened, would show the texture used for the opened effect then have the ability to drag out a box around the part of the texture you want to use (like the Gmax uvw edit window), the uv1 and 2 entries would then automatically be written to uv1 and 2 from this selection.

See attached pic that I made up to demonstrate.

Edit: in pic below i got the uv1 and 2 arrows the wrong way around but you get the idea, LOL

Stevo ;)

Hi Stevo,

That's a nice idea. I'll put it on the list.

I should do some work on FXEditor, there are quite a few good features on the todo list...
