• 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.

    P3D v5 Aerospatiale AS350 Ecureuil

    The first of many to be released soon. Liveries, code, sounds and FDE are done. The first part will be the AS350D variant, other engine variants to be released as expansions and will be released as time allows. I'm hoping for this week, if things go according to plan and depending on my...

    The final color for the panel itself is grey with a non black glare shield, it's just the way P3DV5 renders materials

    P3D v5 Aerospatiale AS350 Ecureuil

    The new build will have an autopilot in place. By default, P3D does support helicopter autopilot and this will be my first project to include it.

    P3D v5 Aerospatiale AS350 Ecureuil

    The first release (AS350D) is not far off, other versions will be released in increments (with code changes to the engine logic). All 2D gauges (except for radio displays, logics) have been replaced with 3D parts, FDE is more or less complete as well as the sounds. Turbine Sound Studios have...

    P3D v5 Aerospatiale AS350 Ecureuil

    Next two items checked off. Animated turbine blades and custom electrical system. The new electrical system is capable of charging, discharging and overload. Also a new battery temperature model that increases with everything thrown at it alone, even more with the starter engaged. Battery alone...

    3D gauge transformation complete with dimming night lighting roughly 95% complete

    P3D v5 Aerospatiale AS350 Ecureuil

    I decided to do away with 2D gauges and replace them with 3D parts. While the 2D gauges has served this project well, it was best to create better resolution units to match the rest of the model(s). Everything has been built, painted and animated. Hopefully I can do all code in the next few days...

    P3D v5 Custom battery

    Howdy, I'm looking at doing a custom battery with charging, discharging, temperatures, voltage and amps and I've come up with a code using AI (got some successful code using this method). While I got a correct battery voltage, the electrical total amps is too high and the battery temperature...

    P3D v5 Aerospatiale AS350 Ecureuil

    I've been working on the center console gauge, internal lighting including backlit dimming gauges and dome lights. FDE has been improved (with limitations), rotor speed now matches the real world figure. Handling has been improved and is now a tricky bird to fly at slow speeds. I'll eventually...

    Hopefully within a month or so and depending on my work schedule and dad duties

    P3D v5 Aerospatiale AS350 Ecureuil

    Another variant added, the Soloy AS350RM AllStar and took me only a day from modeling the cowling to mapping/texturing and using the existing paintkit with slight modifications. The livery shown is based on a real life example and represents the very first Squirrel I got to fly in back in 1997...

    You nailed it!! Works like a charm now

    P3D v5 Aerospatiale AS350 Ecureuil

    Slowly getting there for a V1 release as this will be in continuous development, adding different variants (police, medevac, TV, etc). The B3/H125 won't be part of this release since I have to model the specific engine controls and panel for that variant. Has anyone successfully used XMLTools in...

    P3D v5 Aerospatiale AS350 Ecureuil

    My latest on this project is the internal and external audio. This will be the first time using distance and cone effects on any of my project and I think they came out pretty good. I'm having an issue when the engine transitions from flight idle to low idle, it doesn't seem to work for me. If...
