• 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.

    MSFS20 Can MSFS2020 run FSX planes?

    I've managed to get a FSX aircraft selectable in MSFS, but I can't get the model to load visually (I have converted all textures to DDS DXT5 format) and I can't get the engine to run (even with CTRL+e). Any ideas?

    MSFS20 Unable to build sample packages in FS2020 SDK

    Nice to see that you succeeded. We have the same version of the sim, so it's quite interesting that you can follow the instructions and that they represent the tools in the sim and I can't. My problems is: The "Edit Package" window is nowhere to be found as stated in the SDK instructions. I...

    MSFS20 Unable to build sample packages in FS2020 SDK

    I had the same problem building the package for the sample SimpleAircraft SDK example. It's clear that the SDK is not up-to-date with the actual sim and the SDK tooling in the sim since you can't follow the tutorials in the SDK in the release version of MSFS. Has anyone figured out how to build...

    FSXA Control a gauge in other ways

    Hi! I'll try to explain this as good as I can, and hopefully you will understand and maybe even have an answer to me. I have a nice panel with nice gauges that I'm using in an aircraft. The panel has switches with for example two settings (ON and OFF). Pressing this gauge toggles the...

    FSX GPS Map outside FSX

    Thanks! Nice, that might work! If there isn't any other way to get a moving map on another computer that is. I was thinking Google Earth but that's maybe a bit more advanced.

    FSX GPS Map outside FSX

    Hi! Is there any way to access and display the GPS gauge, or just the map in it, outside the FSX application (on another computer for example)? I guess you cant render FSX gauges outside the FSX rendering engine? I don't need the 3d rendering, just the 2d rendering of the gauge (cause the...

    Making a landable platform in SketchUp

    I managed to do this by creating just the platform in gmax. I also tried doing the whole model in gmax (by exporting to 3ds from ModelConverterX) but I couldn't get the textures to work correctly when exporting the model with textures from gmax (either only one of the textures was applies to...

    Making a landable platform in SketchUp

    Thanks for the quick replies! I'll try using gmax in between. I suspected that, cause I found an option "Platform" grayed out in the application :)

    Making a landable platform in SketchUp

    Hi! Is there any way to create a landable platform, in this case a heliport on top of a house, that I've made in Google SketchUp? Right now I can fly through the house and the top helipad in FSX. Thanks!

    Hi! I've got a problem with my C# application that uses BeatlesBlog SDK for SimConnect connection to FSX Accelleration. After a while, I get this exception: "Source array was not long enough. Check srcIndex and length, and the array's lower bounds." The stacktrace is: " at...

    Sim Connect Data Performance Issues

    I have the exact same problem with lag in SimConnect. I've tried differens refresh-rates (visual frame or sim frame). I even tried limiting FS to like 10 fps and still a lot of lag. I have a project that is some external flight instruments that is to run on a separate computer (like for ex...

    smooth AI movement - the old favorite

    Thanks for the answers, somehow I missed the fact that I should remain in slew-mode. Works fine now, just some fine-tuning to do.

    How to Create and Control A Missile on FS X ??

    I would recommend you to read this thread: http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17374 This is probably the best solution there is, at least as I can see it at the moment.

    smooth AI movement - the old favorite

    A bit of newbie-warning on this post, sorry for that. I've been looking at your ideas and interesting posts, and began to test it myself. I'm working with Beatles SimConnect SDK in C#.net, but I guess that shouldn't make a difference in this case. Exactly what are you doing every 4...

    Multiple connections and UNRECOGNIZED_ID

    I guess I will have to switch to FSUIPC for this project, doesn't seem to able to get "live" data from SimConnect.

    Multiple connections and UNRECOGNIZED_ID

    Sorry, was a bit to quick on my reply there. I just tried the same thing in the native SimConnect SDK, and there was the same problem when I subscribe to user aircraft data. It seems like I will have to call a request for data in a loop instead to get the data "live".

    Multiple connections and UNRECOGNIZED_ID

    Thanks for that suggestion beatle. I've now tried the same thing using your SDK, but some new problems then came up. I looked in the WinForms-example, and did the same way for subscribing to the user aircrafts data updates. The this is that if I use periods SIM_FRAME or VISUAL_FRAME like...

    Multiple connections and UNRECOGNIZED_ID

    Hi! I'm having problems when connecting multiple instances of SimConnect clients to FSX. I have made an application (C#) which contains three forms that are to show up at run-time. Each form creates a SimConnect-connection and subscribes to the simevents that they need. If I just show one...
