• 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.

    FSX Fuel transfer switch - what am I doing wrong?

    I have a modeled switch in my virtual cockpit for transferring fuel forwards, the switch works well except, it will not 'turn off fuel transfer when the switch is off. I'm trying to avoid a race condition with a previous version of the xml logic and I've tried, but I can't see what I'm doing...

    P3D v5 Doug Dawson Event Logger

    I'm struggling to get Doug's Event logger 64 bit to work in P3D V5. When I have the dll in the panel folder, and the entry in the panel.cfg I get an error when starting up P3D. If I remove the dll or change the line in the panel.cfg the error goes away. Error is: Exception in DefWndProc...

    Altimeter and Kohlsman - is my understanding correct

    I'm having problems which I thought I didn't have before, but memory not so good. Can someone kindly verify something for me with regard to the altimeter Kohlsman knob. So the Kohlsman knob is adjusted to the fields barometric pressure, which in turn adjusts the altimeter reading - is that...

    P3D v5 Adding two sim variables values together to produce a simple animation

    I'm trying to animate a basic pitch/alpha indicator for an ADI. The pitch rate and alpha are combined into a single value to move a marker up and down. I'm rubbish at maths, but I believe the values should be made up of the Vertical speed being divided by 100 (eg 6000 becomes 60) this would...

    FSX Toggle next waypoint leg activation

    Is there a simple way to toggle the next waypoint activation, I'd like to have a modeled button for next and previous - I don't mind if each leg activates as they are cycled through. I was hoping there would be toggle in the SDK for that, but cannot find it. My non-working code is as follows...

    P3D v5 2D popup visibility gauge passing L:var to external model

    I'm trying to make a 2D pop up gauge to control visibility of some ground equipment in the external mdl and also the vc mdl - at least where physically visible. The gauge uses simple switches to set the L:var, but the part isn't controlled by it. <PartInfo> <Name>ge_equipment</Name>...

    P3D v5 Landing/taxi lights not illuminating runway

    I'm finding that after uninstalling V5.2 and instaiing V5.3 that most landing/taxi lights no longer illuminate the ground - the default F-16 does, but default F-35 does not, nor do any addon aircraft I've tried. I've disabled and enabled dynamic lights in case that was the cause, no luck. I've...

    FS Sound Studio

    So I tried to buy FS Sound Studio but can see that Flight1 do not appear to have this in their store, yet the FSSS website still opens the FLight1 wrapper - but couldn't buy it via that method either. What is everyone using to do their aircraft sound cfgs? I liked the way that you could...

    MSFS20 Flight model from FSX

    I've ported across an aircraft I made for FSX/P3D which flies beautifully in both, however even after transposing the data into the flight_model.cfg the aircraft which has elevons does not to pitch or turn much even when the stick is full left/right/up/down. I've double checked my elevator and...

    P3D v5 Multi cockpit rendering in P3D/FSX

    I'm working on a two seat (tandem layout) aircraft and I was wondering if anyone knows how objects are rendered in the sim. eg if I'm in the rear seat but I can't see the front cockpit is the front cockpit with all the gauges still being rendered? Does the sim render only what is in view, or...

    P3D v3 Render to texture cameras

    I've been struggling to get this to work. I have a poly with a $ texture applied, I have a camera in the aircraft.cfg with render to texture set to true, the camera name is the same as the Texture Name in the gauge, but no matter what the poly stays black in P3D V3.4. The gauge is: <Gauge...

    FSXA Stopping fuel dump when down to set fuel weight

    Tried last night to get this working. I have a working vc switch for fuel dump, but no matter which way I tried I could not get the fuel dump to stop when the remaining total fuel was down to 5000 lbs. Has anyone else had any success with stopping fuel dump with set criteria. It should be...

    FSXA Setting for VC Shadows

    In my VC I am using MCX to do various tweaks that FSDS cannot achieve, and one of the tweaks I'm looking for in MCX is for VC shadows. FSDSXtweak used to have a tickbox for that but I have not yet found one in MCX? Does anyone know where I might find it? Or is it an option for each material...

    FSX itraffic bearing variables

    Are there any variables for ai bearing from the users aircraft? Or a good working method to determine this? I have a working gauge that gives me range to a selected ai aircraft but struggling to find any variables to calculate the bearing from my aircraft. Any ideas welcome!

    FSX Transponder question

    I've looked in the SDK and I can't find any key events to set the Transponder to Standby or to change Mode. Does FSX only simulate one Mode, and no Standby so the sim takes whatever the transponder is set to?

    FSXA Returning Latitude and Longtitude

    So I'm trying to get rotary digits returning the Latitude and Longtitude of the aircraft, but the animations in frames 0-100 at the moment just return zeros. Any pointers welcome. What I have for Latitude so far is below, the first one will probably never work...! <PartInfo>...

    Possible to count throttle movements?

    I was wondering if it's possible to count throttle movements ie every time the throttle reaches a set position moving upwards. What I am looking to do is reduce RPM if the throttle has been moved forwards past a set position, but I'm not sure whether either is possible.
