• 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

I am currently making a pilotable version of HMS Illustrious and I am making a Hanger deck with the pilot of the ship operating the ramps to bring aircraft up and down. But the aircraft keep falling through the ramp I have made a hard deck and joined it to the part but that just makes the ramp disappear. I am making it in FSDS and the ramp is operated useing the lading gear button.

any help would be appreciated

Thanks
 
If you are making a pilotable carrier, what aircraft are you talking about? Can't be AI...
 
What you need is a platform to put your aircraft on, makes a "landable" surface. In FSDS you can do that by making a copy of the top of your ramp and calling it platform_CONCRETE_0. Link it to the ramp so it goes up and down with it and be sure to remove any animation from the platform. It does not show in FS.

To do this you need the platform included in the PartDataDefs.txt file. If you have more than one platform make a copy of platform_CONCRETE_0 and call it plarform_CONCRETE_1.

As for choice of aircraft you could use anything with floats like the Beaver, but be sure to give it zero wing area to stop it flying and zero htail and elevator area to stop it from doing back flips at speed!
