• 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.

FSX 3D Localizer and Glideslope Animations

I'm having problems understanding the variables that drive the Glideslope and Localizer needles, and secondly the math with animating them.

I take it these are the variables that would drive the glideslope animation?

HSI GSI NEEDLE

and for the localizer:

HSI CDI NEEDLE ???

All I have so far is a needle animated 0-360 frames, however it doesn't move:

<PartInfo>
<Name>localizer_needle</Name>
<AnimLength>360</AnimLength>
<Animation>
<Parameter>
<Sim>
<Variable>NAV LOCALIZER</Variable>
<Units>number</Units>
<Scale>1</Scale>
<MinValue>0</MinValue>
<MaxValue>360</MaxValue>
</Sim>
</Parameter>
</Animation>
</PartInfo>

Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
You are welcome. In case it isn't obvious from that post, you would Link the
C310_HSI_needle_CDI as a child of the C310_HSI_NAV1_Needle so it would inherit the 360º rotation.

The same applies to the C310_HSI_To_Flag and C310_HSI_From_Flag objects as well, of course!

Code: 
....C310_HSI_NAV1_Needle 
.........C310_HSI_needle_CDI
.........C310_HSI_To_Flag 
.........C310_HSI_From_Flag
