• 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 posted in the working on scenery thread but with developing it I figured it would be best to start a thread.

I've dabbled in Blender a bit as well as previous 3D design software going back to Flight Simulator Flight Studio and Lightwave 3D but it's only now I'm starting to get seriously into 3D development, especially as I move more towards Virtual Production in Unreal Engine for Film, but the FS work crosses over into that now. Just had a meeting with a guy who worked on Avatar 2, Godzilla vs Kong and other major productions.

Anyway, since version 1.0 of Flight Sim I've longed to have my local airport that I eventually learned to fly at (one of the 3), in the simulator, but due to it being quite a complicated airport with 2 x grass/gravel strips and a gazillon cone and gable markers, it's just never been done right in any flight simulator.

Yesterday I placed all the cones and gable markers around the airport, I swear there's like 1000 across the airport. I still have a lot of work ahead of me and definitely would like to collaborate with a 3D designer for the custom hangars and airport buildings.

Today I figured out how to make the tires (tyres for Aussies) that are used at tie down points and create bump maps, specular highlights and paint the tires white. Am about to go export the final result to MSFS and start placing them.


Here's the screenshots from yesterday...
