• 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.

    simObject controlled with a Scenarii xml not snapping to ground reliably

    Tested with an extended terraforming poly and the horse sticks to the ground maybe 8 times out of 10. A significant improvement so thank you for the advice. Kev

    simObject controlled with a Scenarii xml not snapping to ground reliably

    Thank you for looking at it, I did have a poly under the origin but not the full length of the path, I'll try that. When there is a decent waypoint tutorial I'll probably go down that route. Project is basically on-hold because of the mess SU12 has made to polygon/rectangle falloff interaction...

    simObject controlled with a Scenarii xml not snapping to ground reliably

    Evening Rhumba, this link contains the simObject and the Scenarii folders. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XxZaFff0eBqkc69b34u9tubPNOqHtqPb/view?usp=share_link

    simObject controlled with a Scenarii xml not snapping to ground reliably

    In Dev mode in the scenery editor the horse is 'grounded' when I restart the sim, after compiling the project, for a normal flight the horse can be grounded but sometimes it's several hundred metres off the ground. Kev

    simObject controlled with a Scenarii xml not snapping to ground reliably

    Good morning folks hopefully someone will be able to point out my error causing this issue. I have an animated horse with two animations in it. One an idle animation and the second one is the horse walking/trotting away. The Scenarii script contains a proximity trigger so that the simObject...

    FSPackageTool drag and drop compiling opens the MSFS simulator and errors

    Thank you Didier, I could see the package was compiling correctly just confused by the splashscreen and sim related error message with code. I guess I should of known it was yet another undocumented 'feature' introduced by a lack of basic testing Kev

    FSPackageTool drag and drop compiling opens the MSFS simulator and errors

    Any thoughts on why when dragging a project onto the FSPackagetools.exe to compile it the new MSFS splash screen loads and the sim syncs up the data etc before the cmd window compiles? After compiling the cmd window doesn't close until I clear an error dialogue box on the splash screen. I'm...

    Create impenetrable buildings (that you cannot see their interior) in msfs2020 with blender

    Stopping the drone camera entering buildings is a retro step in my opinion. Fair enough if you create a Collison boundary on a building or structure so that aircraft will collide with them but stopping the drone camera entering them basically stops any interior development of 'protected'...

    Triggering an animation based the local time of Dusk + a time offset

    Hi Folks, I'm using a simple conditional statement to trigger a fireworks display between 18:30 and 20:00 local time in Alaska. <UseTemplate Name="Asobo_GT_Update" > <FREQUENCY>0.2</FREQUENCY> <UPDATE_CODE> (E:LOCAL TIME, hour) 18.50 &gt...

    Compiling scenery inside the SDK is very slow, EGPR bug?

    Thank you Dick but to be honest, it's simpler to just save the scenery then quit the sim and build it externally just by dragging the project xml on the fspackagetool.exe, at least that way I can see what the compiler is doing. It's just really annoying that a custom Asobo airport that is...

    Compiling scenery inside the SDK is very slow, EGPR bug?

    Running the latest SU8 beta and I'm seeing longer and longer build time if I compile scenery inside the SDK editor. Using fspackagetool.exe to compile is running as normal. If I click on build the software just sits doing stuff in the background and eventually, like 5-10 minutes later or even...

    Runway offset threshold and odd markings behaviour

    Runway offset threshold and odd markings behaviour

    The runway surface marks in the big image in the previous post are part of the Google Earth data and are real world markings which I want to retain. The primary reason for adding the offset threshold details into the sim are so 3rd party programmes like LNM show the offset threshold as well...

    Runway offset threshold and odd markings behaviour

    FWIW, this is what it should look like in the real world
