SceneryDesign.org I have just released new development release versions of all my tools with added support for Prepar3D v5. The impact of the new version on most tools is limited. Below I list the details per tool. Overall the impact on the tool is not that big. But let me know if you encounter any issues […]
Bug reporting broken
I was quite happy the last few weeks that hardly any crashes were reported in my bug tracker from my tools. But today I found out why, the bug reporting is actually broken at the moment. It seems the interface into the bugtracker does not like the newer PHP version that i had to enable […]
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.

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 […]

Funny walks
I’m updating the Assimp library that ModelConverterX uses to a recent version and in the process I am also trying to read skin and bones animations from other formats using this new version. I don’t think I have it all right yet, but this video was too funny not to share with you. It directly […]

I am working on a new update for ModelConverterX that adds support for additional formats. The screenshot below shows […]
Seasonal textures in MCX
At the moment the Ground Polygon Wizard in MCX only supports seasonal textures when you export using the FS2002 style code. But inspired by this thread on FSDeveloper I have started now to add support for seasonal textures to P3D v4 MDL files as well. I have some success already with using visibility conditions to […]
