• 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.

Dropping objects question

I have figured out how to insert my own homemade dropping objects and drop them in missions -- but my question is how to adjust the point at which they drop out of the aircraft? I mean, they fall from the center of the aircraft, can I make them fall from the aft end of it? Is there some attach point or offset or something to adjust to move the object a couple feet back along the bottom of the aircraft when it begins the drop?

Hi Folks

ripcord -
Add your object(s) to the relevant payload station(s).
See aircraft.cfg for available.

OK, you mean like this (looking in aircraft.cfg file)?


max_number_of_stations= 3

station_load.0= 170.0, 9.50, -1.7, -3.000, Pilot //3-view
station_load.1= 170.0, 9.50, -1.7, -3.000, Co-pilot //3-view
station_load.2= 0.0, -3.67, -0.0, -4.167, Payload //On center of lift and thrust line

How to add my object to this PAYLOAD station?

Thanks for helping a noob.
