• 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.

I can’t believe how many projects I’m working on at the moment, but some ones that are taking time so in the meantime, I’m able to work on multiple smaller projects.

One thing that I have wanted on, my Mac is to be able to view GeoTIFF and other elevation data sets in 3D.

On my PC, which is currently in storage I have global mapper, that was a $500 program and I haven’t been able to upgrade it in a very long time.

So I decided to make my own program in swift for Apple Silicon to be able to view elevation data. I will port it to Windows as well and have ideas on how to turn it into a tool for flightsim developers to use for free.

I have a few ideas of cool things that I might be able to implement that people have been wanting for decades.

I also want to be able to make it so that we can import old elevation BGL files from previous Sims and view them natively outside the SIM. Possibly create airport flattens for the older simulators.
