• 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.

Many of you have probably already seen this, but I recently discovered a freeware application called Tileproxy, developed by Christian Buchner. It allows you to specify a web based mapping service such as Google Earth or Microsoft Virtual Earth, and it automatically creates photo scenery in FSX from the satellite images as you fly. So now you can fly over the latest and best freely available images for wherever you are in flight simulator.

There are some issues that need further development, such as differentiating water areas from land, yet I feel like I have seen the future of flight sim.
