• 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.

FSXA Converting from P3D V4.5 to FSX; Materials Workflow

Nice little plane. Remember to check all animations and mouse rects and vis conditions in your MCX exports.
Click to expand...

Manfred,

Indeed, in checking click zones and animations, I found several not working. A set of Rocker switches.

I am exporting from Max thru the V2.3 SDK, then compiling the X's through V1.4 SDK. I ran the ModelDef through Chrome. Nothing flagged. Appears to all be running fine. All ModelDefs are synched and updated. One across the board. (all versions checked and synched).

I am guessing the coding of the rockers must be causing this, I can only figure.. . as some of the other knobs are fine that are with the same system...
 
I wonder if this part name is throwing off the code of the simulator?

lhc_cIII_ap_roll
lhc_cIII_ap_hdg
lhc_cIII_ap_alt
lhc_cIII_ap_pitch

Perhaps having capitals 'in' a mix of words...

This however works fine.
lhc_cIII_ap_guidence_knob

It has III in it...

:S
 
To test that you could change these names to things like roll_lhc_cIII_ap so the "difference" is at the front instead of at the back.
 
Tom... I found it. Scale... They needed to be reset in their scales.

I have to tell you. I prayed about it. I talked to God, and you know, a little while later, while I was sitting there looking at the buttons in FS, it came to me, that still small voice within.. Check the scales... and I remembered, scaling issues in FSX will cause solid objects to not work on their MouseRects. They will animate, but not have active MouseRects. Bill Leaming even has a Sticky on this in the model room.
 
Do you have MCX/Options/ObjectModel Settings/Remove Scaling set to TRUE? If you do, these clickspots should work OK after conversion.
