• 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.

    PAID: C++ and WASM coder required ( POSITION FILLED )

    I'm looking for a C++ and WASM coder for a special project for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The project would require the signing of an NDA, and would be paid on a per-contract basis. Although a WIP project at the moment, it's definitely going to be a lot of fun and would suit somebody with...

    C++ / WASM programmer required ( Position Filled )

    DC Designs has a ( small ) job for somebody who can program C++ and compile into WASM for Microsoft Flight Simulator. This is a single gauge that performs a single function based on an available Avar - probably very easy for somebody with the skills. PM me if you're interested. DCD

    P3D v5 fx_landing.fx

    This is a known bug with all the aircraft lights in Prepar3D v5, and a most annoying one at that. I've tried several ways to combat this, including inserting light-facing polygons to "block" the light, or orientating the z-axis light direction out to the sides of the VC. Nothing has worked so...

    Animation export to glTF?

    Flight Simulator survived for many years without support from Microsoft largely because of the work of freeware developers, both creating their own content and converting FS2004 and other legacy models into the new FSX and P3D formats. This was in large part due to the presence of Model...

    Center of gravity gauge

    Ah, thanks so much Roman, that worked perfectly! I'd tried the bias and offset method, but didn't understand & add the calculations at the end! Method saved for future reference :)

    Center of gravity gauge

    Hi folks, very quick XML question! I have a CoG gauge that is working perfectly well over 100 frames. The problem is that the gauge in my aircraft only depicts the 50% to 60% CoG range of CoG movement, so my animated CoG marker of course only moves about in the centre 10% or so of the gauge. How...

    I'm working on scenery... (2020)

    Just a quick note that DC Designs is working on Blackbushe Airport, UK, for MSFS, after a successful photo-shoot last weekend :)

    Cabin or House Glow

    You could script a simple XML visibility code and add it to your modeldef.xml in the SDK. The script would tell the night texture ( warm glow ) to vanish after say midnight, as though the occupants had gone to bed. I don't have a good example of a script like that, but there should be one here...

    MSFS Animations with Blender exporter

    Right now, that's the only way I'm aware of - unique entries under each main heading ( c_gear, l_gear etc ). A pain indeed, but once you have that all down, you can re-use much of it for other airplanes as long as you name the parts the same way.

    Setting Fuel Flow Order?

    And even when it is, I sometimes don't see it :)

    Setting Fuel Flow Order?

    UPDATE!! I can confirm that the code works well and does indeed transfer fuel fore and aft between the Center1 and Center2 tanks. The issue was that a $VC polygon was killing the mouse rect - once I realised that, and made the selector poke through the $VC poly, everything worked perfectly :)

    MSFS True to Life

    I'm disappointed that the entire population of the planet are not represented as People Flow animated characters based on their mobile phone location. Can't cyber-stalk anybody properly these days!! Refund please.

    MSFS Animations with Blender exporter

    Yes, but in my experience once exported to MSFS this then kills the animation. They seem to have to be animated AFTER being named - doing it the other way round doesn't work.

    MSFS Animations with Blender exporter

    You must name the animation as it appears in Blender in the little animation box to bottom right, in the animation window. Blender adds the word Action to a part name to signify an animation. A part named l_gear would thus have an animation name of l_gearAction - this is what the gLTF exporter...

    MSFS Installation Glitch

    Yeah, I feel for him - he's an airline pilot and long-time sim user so he knows his stuff. Hopefully he'll solve it. I'm almost fully downloaded, it will have basically taken up a full day too, instead of the half day it should have done. Will be glad not to have to do this again. On the...

    MSFS Installation Glitch

    I also suffered a glitch when using Skype while the sim was installing - totally canned the installation from that point onward. The only solution was to uninstall, shut down, re-start and then begin again. At 80GB at the time of writing. I have also heard from one experienced user who had a...
