• 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.

angle problem

Hello; I created a conical light beacon in FSDesignStudio; then add a sideladder, created vertically then angle 3° to snap to wall. Render ok in FSDS.
When importing fsc file in MCX, angle of ladder is inverted. Thanks for help

Sounds like a bug in MCX when reading the FSC file. Would it be possible to share the file with me for testing? Or a simple test object that shows the problem would also work.
 
Thanks for answer; it seems to be a curious fact in FSDS with the way to incline an object:
method 1/ use part/ properties / angle= -30 (red ladder)
method 2/ use part / transform / rotate / angle = 30 (green ladder)
To get the same effect I need curiously to use opposite values for the 2 methods (-30 or 30) !!!
When importing in MCX, method 1 is not ok, but method 2 is ok; problem seems to be with FSDS properties / angle.
(fsc source in essai_incl.zip)

Thanks, I'll have a look. I guess MCX has a bug in one of the two methods.
 
I can fix the issue by adding a minus in my code, but I'm not sure the other axes are OK then. Would it be a lot of work for you to provide some extra test model that apply rotations around the other axes as well so that I can check all three rotation axes are good?
 
Sorry for delay to answer. So far I don't use method1 (part / properties) any more but only method2 (part / transform / rotation) which is ok in mcx.
I think there's a problem in FSDS as method1 needs opposite angle of method2 to get same result
 
But if you can still make some sample I can make sure that this method is giving the right geometry (just as in FSDS) when imported in MCX.
