• 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.

    MSFS Coherent debugger for JS, HTML & CSS running in the Sandbox.

    Hopefully someone will make a good Instructional video to show how to use the new MSFS Coherent Debugger, to debug Js , Html & Css when running in the Sandbox. This should be a game changer for many MSFS developers, and also allow new developers to get in to producing content, with greater...

    MSFS Units of Measure via Simconnect

    Is there currently any way to get the "Units of measure:, via Simconnect. In P3d it returns an enum (0, , 1, 2) In MSFS, it always just seems to return 0 (or I am messing up )

    MSFS Max 4 MAP limitation in cockpit, across all GPS gauges

    Currently MSFS can only support a Maximum of 4 Maps in a Cockpit. If you have 2 GPS Gauges in the cockpit, that is limiting to only 2 Maps per Gauge. !! (More than 4 will cause a CTD when the 5th is selected) If any of you are developing GPS gauges, or want to see more than 4 maps...

    MSFS Visual Studio (code) -- making Simconnect aware

    (1) When using "Vistual Studio Code", is there any way to make it SimConnect aware, so it can finish Simconnect parameters, and display the correct format for them. (like you can in VS when writing FSX C# code, and the editor is Simconnect aware) (2) Even more general question. How do...

    MSFS Adding existing GPS sounds to an AP gauge

    I am trying to do a MOD to the KAP140, to add some RW sound warnings. I can see suitable sound warnings being used in the Garmin GPS Gauges, called by gsp.playInstrumentSound("tone-caution") What else do I need to add, so that the AP gauge, can access these GPS sounds as...

    MSFS Asobo C152 Dev Console Errors

    My Dev Console keeps showing about 28 ERRORS associated with the C152 . This is a PITA, because I am just interested in errors generated by my current project, but I loose them in all the C152 errors. The C152 errors seem to be mainly associated with the XML not being able to find...

    MSFS Changing the AP ALT hold altitudes in 20ft steps (instead of 100 or 1000)

    I am trying to implement in a KAP140 AP, changing the ALT hold value in 20ft steps (This happens in the RL AP, if you are in ALT mode, and press the UP / Down Buttons, as opposed to using the rotary switch, which will do 1000 and 100 ft increments . The problem I am having, is...

    MSFS .cfg parameters ??

    How do developers ( and Modders) come up with such precise values. ie roll_moment_delta_aileron = -0.257 ?? Is there some way to calculate what this should be, to this precision ??? It seems to me that most of the flight_Model.cfg values are just pulled out of thin air (or should I...

    MSFS What controls the taxiway paths defined at an airport - that the AI traffic follows.

    In Dev Mode, if you turn on Airport Draw debug, you can see the lines that AI traffic follow. What defines the construction of these lines. Is it the airport file itself, or is it auto-generated by some AI engine within MSFS. ? Here is an example of the tracks at GA parking at KIAD...

    What would it take to add this missing light, on/off controllable on this Asobo KAP140 I don't have a clue !!! Do the tools exist. ? Could I do it without having to get into the 3d model, by maybe putting a suitable Text CIRCLE character there ? What, is any, are my options. If it's...

    MSFS Reading a setting in aircraft.cfg file from within JS

    How do I read a given parameter from the aircraft.cfg file of the currently loaded plane (in a JS gauge running in that plane) I assume the js should only be allowed to read from the virtual file system, and if so, can it read a parameter from the current plane, even if that plane's .cfg...
