• 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.

    FS9 Hover~Helicopters

    I thought he was focused on flying in FS9. Sorry about that! I didn't mean there was a gauge you could add to the helicopter to get a decent flight model for the hover. HTR is an add-on program that takes what the sim is telling the helicopter to do, as well as what you tell the sim you want...

    FS9 Hover~Helicopters

    The better the flight model is tuned, the harder the bird will be to hover steadily in a single spot. Every control input, whether cyclic, collective, or rudder, not to mention the engine torque, will affect every other control's effect on the bird. A slight movement of the stick, suddenly you...

    P3D v4 Stock Beech Kingair FM's; Pull Left on Takeoff?

    I don't know if it works , it seems like it works for me in FSX:SE, but I found a little detail you can add to the [propeller] section of the aircraft.cfg. It reads: rotation=-1,1 //Engine 1,2,3,... Rotation direction. 1 = CW, -1 = CCW. Does this help at all? Pat☺

    Basics in flight dynamics and which programs do you usually use for editing flight dynamics

    I know for a fact that the F/A-18C, and up, can in fact accelerate upward at a vertical angle. I've seen them. I've actually seen a Blue Angel trying out a new routine for the solo. They slow as they cross the airport, until they are balanced on the thrust of the engine. They let it dance around...

    FSX Jet engines and throttle control

    You might want to read through this: https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/resources/fs-thrust-vs-altitude-calculations.43/download It's from the resources section of this wonderful forum. Jet engine settings in the .air file are not only complex, but very interdependant. I would spend the time to...

    FSX Steam Edition

    The trick to migrating to FSX:SE is to save all your old FSX folders. Modules, Addon Scenery, Gauges, Effects, EVERYTHING. Once you've gotten a "vanilla" FSX:SE installed, you can copy ALL those folders you saved off over to it, but do NOT permit overwrites. That way, any of the files you've...

    FSX:SE ADE-SDK - Just making sure Im getting this right!!

    Well, all I can tell you is that I have FSX:SE and I installed the P3D SDK v1.4. It seems to work very nicely on my system. I have the SDK installed on my C drive, and FSX installed on my D drive. I didn't look through the Registry or anything, but when it installed it's self, it installed to a...

    FS2004 Aircraft Airfile Manager fails to start?

    That's 100% correct :D At least in all the .air files I checked. Both jets and props. Sounds like you're going to need some discs! Good fortune to you! Pat☺

    FS2004 Aircraft Airfile Manager fails to start?

    I won't swear to it, just at it, but if it's your machine that won't run AAM22, and your lovely wife's machine will, and the two are networked, you will be able to use it from her machine. Just make the shortcut point over to her machine. Alternatively, again presuming her machine will run it...

    FS2004 Aircraft Airfile Manager fails to start?

    Ok, I found the following: EAccess Violations. Essentially, you're looking at a memory use problem. In this case, I suspect a driver issue, but I may be off by a mile. You might want to read through it, though, and see if you can find out what's going on. AAM2 works fine on my system, and I...

    FS2004 .Air file editor for payware aircraft?

    As far as I know, the only gauge that the .air file has to do with is the airspeed gauge. There is also an entry that can affect the brakes, but the aircraft.cfg over-rides the .air file for them. There are entries required for proper aircraft icing conditions to exist, and there is a gauge out...

    FSX Gauge does not load

    In the aircraft.cfg, does the [fltsim.X] section that points to the plane you're loading, also point to the panel folder you're changing? IE: Say the texture you're using looks like this: [fltsim.3] title=Boeing 737-800 Paint5 sim=Boeing737-800 model= panel=changed sound= texture=5...

    FS2004 .Air file editor for payware aircraft?

    A very good .air file manager I use is Aircraft Airfile Manager, v2.2. It may be downloaded here: AAM v2.2 here It contains much better explanations of each entry in the .airfile, better graphical displays of the graph type entries, and the ability to make changes to them, and see those changes...

    FSX Gauge does not load

    Wondering: Do you reload the aircraft after making changes by going to the aircraft menu selection at the top of the screen, or something like that? If you do, or even if you use the Reload User Aircraft key combo, you need to ensure that ALL AI items are turned OFF before you do so. The AI...

    FSX Gauge does not load

    Just so you know, FSX:SE functions just as your FSX Accel, Rob. I don't know if this matters or not, but I just thought you'd like to know how another version works... Good luck! Pat☺

    How to check for unused textures?

    Have you taken a look at Find_All_Duplicate ? It was originally written for FS2002, I know for sure it works in FS9. I'm not sure about FSX/P3D, but I think it should work in FSX, at least. You can find it on FlightSim's library. Located HERE. Is that close to what you were looking for? Pat☺

    Little help with a script

    I always avoid public bools. Have you seen some of the people who swim there?? And the kids. Running around, screaming, you can't hear yourself think. Like on airplanes... Sorry, I couldn't resist. Back to the original thread... Pat☺
