• 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.

Hi all

trying to breathe some life into fsx se and my full scale MD500e cockpit by adding liftable objects. I have looked at the early Sling loads in the Sandbox liftable missions which was done along time ago. tried it out and works

I have object placement tool installed and working. I have built a small heli base where I would like to add some default liftable objects

I found an old post at the sim outhouse and in the post it mentioned* the following method

There are four basic steps:

[1] Select an FSX 'liftable' object from the fsxp mission objects*HERE. Typically these have a hook 'eye' for lifting such as the MIS_top_secret_crate.

[2] Place the object using Object Placement Tool' and save as a 'Mission'.

[3] Save your flight where you'd like to start from to pick up the load and

[4] Equip your Helo with a sling by editing the saved flight file.


I have followed the instructions and I have created a xml file that appears when I save as mission but I am not sure what to do next I have placed the xml file into the documents folder where the saved flight are.

When I go to load flights and select my flight, the object is showing in the in the flight screen window but when the flight starts the object does not show up
Not sure what i am doing wrong
Appreciate any help




Regards

Rhys
 
Hi all

I have sorted out the object not showing in saved flight I had to add object file and the objects name into the FLT file.
The only issue now is the liftable item won't attach to the hook. In the object placement tool do I need to add a an action for the item to be picked up
Appreciate any help
