• 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.

If I understand you correctly when you designed the cockpit windows you have realised that the fuselage has no solid interior polygons, thus giving the impression of a see through aircraft when looking through the cockpit glass windows.

If this is the case you can address this easily.

Make a clone of the fuselage. Convert the clone to an editable mesh. Go to polygon mode and select those polygons around the cockpit area you wish to keep. Now choose "select invert" and delete the unwanted remainder of the aircraft.

Now if you choose all the remaining polygons again and use the flip function they now appear like interior walls around the cockpit area.

You may get some flimmering, which is an apparent clash of polygon visibility between the exterior aircraft fuselage and the interior you just created. What you can do is apply a scaling tool to the interior and make it slight smaller than the dimensions of the exterior.

You will need to make a bulkhead for the rear wall of the cockpit to enclose it.

Then you can think about adding fuselage thckness to your project.

I hope this helps.

Wow

Hey Paul.

Thank you very much, it works perfectly, is a simple way that i never knew, now i can see the interior face of the fuselage, is perfect!!:D ... and yes meaby i can add thickness to the fuselage, because is a prop plane so is not such a big thing!...thanks again for the help.


Diego.
