• 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 Tools Attach; Reassigning Protocols?

Hey guys,


I have a knob which I wish to reassign to a new Mouse Rect.

How exactly would I do this. Remember, its 're-assigning' over an old one.

If I click on the button 'New Assignment' , it stays on. I dont know if any of what I am doing is working, as the button seems to have its previous assignment permanently locked in.

Let me re-explain this.

How does one give a part a new Attach Point/Mouse Rect if it already has one?

Does one click on the green outlined button 'New Mouse Rect'? or does one simply select a new Mouse Rect assignment and click 'Assign to Object'?


Presently I am having no luck with either of these.



Why is it that I have to be the poster child on these wierd situations...?

My visual image of you is that of "Figment" - the cartoon character at the Kodak Pavilion/Ride in EPCOT - that little flying dragon character is the representation of the creative spark, epitomized by the phrases... "What if...? I wonder if..."
 
Worst case ... can't you export the part, delete it from the current scene and then re-import it (I presume that the assignments, etc are "lost" when merely exporting/saving the part as a new scene?

Then, re-create the new mouseRect etc.?
 
AHHHHH!!!!

It works perfectly fine in the FS9 model! I'll import them from there and re-integrate.

:D

Youre awesome Felix..


I have to tell you.. I tried (this latest time) assigning them with 'Attach Tool/Empty' with 'New Attach Point' button selected/depressed. In FSX, they were invisible...

I slid into mild depression..

If it were up to me and I didnt do this for a living, I would quit making planes for FSX.

Right click on the part, and open the Properties window. Select the "User defined" tab, highlight and delete the existing entry.

Now create your new MouseRect entry...
 
Thanks Bill..

I was at witts end. I just found out 4 more switches were not working right and tried to reassign them also, which didnt work.

I did look in the SDK and only found things on 'assigning' them (Attach to Geometry).


I am so tired.. I wanted to make 5 planes this year. I cant even redo one in under 6 months...

The first "conversion" is always the hardest. I have to admit though that I had a huge advantage, having been part of the FSX "beta team" I was aware of what would be required for "conversion" early on...

...which in turn meant that I could get a very early start on "converting" all of ESDG's existing models, as well as structure a/c alrealy in the pipeline such that "conversion" will be much easier. :cool:
