SceneryDesign.org With FS2020 being available I would like to let you know that I have started on adding support for the glTF models in ModelConverterX already. But it’s not yet finished or fully tested as my current machine doesn’t meet the FS2020 specs. Once I’m back from vacation I’ll continue on this feature. By that time […]

scenProc autogen building bug
This week I have fixed a bug in scenProc that could result in autogen buildings showing incorrectly in Prepar3D. This especially affects buildings that are oriented exactly north-south or east-west.

Autogen object size distortion
That autogen objects have a distortion in their rotation is something we found out 6 years ago already. But until recently I was not aware that not only the rotation of the objects is distorted, also their sizes can be different then you would expect from looking at the objects in the Annotator tool. I […]
New steps to place points
The next development release of scenProc will include two new steps for placing points: LineToPoint and PolygonToPoint. In the future these steps will replace the existing steps to place points along lines or inside polygons. As i realise some of these steps are used in many of your scripts, I will not deprecate the old […]
