• 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.

Attach point and effects issue

Hi,

I am not sure if this could be a MCX issue, but I have some strange behaviour, with attach points.

I am adding attach point (for private use - until we succeed to get in touch with the developper) in a FSX vintage aircraft.

The same effect (standard basic beacon) added on two positions don't display the same. - after hours of fighting (wondering if it could be a texture side effect - but the points of connection use the SAME texture), I decided to abandon the bad looking point.
So, I just deleted the attached point and recompiled and .... now the effect which was working nicely is exhibiting the "bad" behaviour :banghead::banghead::banghead:

After teens of test (fortunatly I am keeping all intermediate versions) I am now convinced of the side effect of adding and deleting attach points. But not sure what could be the "root cause"...

I have regularly downloaded the lattest "Development releases" and get this issue since I started to make attach point modifications (I would say more than one week).

Let me know if you need more details.

Not getting any suggestion, I tried to add other attach points with the "fx_dummy" as effect.

Some improvement - but... I suspect this trick hide some serious issue

I would really appreciate some advice or opinions

We need a tool to reposition the attached points. Just like in a simple editor. To be able to move the point in 3D immediately to the desired location, and not try to pick up the location by the coordinate shift. Is this possible? Thank you!
