• 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.

Getting hoisted object to trigger action

Hi

I am trying to write a mission similar to the Slingload Tutorial bit where the swimmer is hoisted up.

I can get the swimmer in the water, hoist him up and get him into the helicopter but I can't work out how to make that trigger the various action activation actions I want to use.

I have toyed with using a proximity trigger centred on my aircraft but I feel that there must be a more elegant way of doing it.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks!

Dan.
 
Hi Dan,
I cant give you any direct information, but i highly suggest you go to Rip Janeiro Intl in free flight and then using the opt, open the slingload tutorial xml, found in the sdk mission development folder. take a look at the triggers there, and see what you can find.

Hi George

Thanks for that.

I think I overcame that particular problem - it's been a while since I've had the patience to fiddle with this.

In the end I think there was a specific SimVar command for it, though I can't recall what. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It's pretty frustrating.

Regards,

Dan.
 
Simple linking chart

I have a example around here that shows a method for linking.

This way you can just look at my chart and create new events.
I can't seem to find it on this forum....it's here somewhere.
