• 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.

Hello again,

I'm trying to create a traffic jam at a certian junction, I've made a mobile scenery object and set waypoints but I want it to die at the last waypoint and reapear at the first one so I'll get an effect of cars moving slowly in line one after the other.
I've noticed that the warp option will make it move back to the first one but it does so through the fields which is not good for me, any ideas on how I can do this?
 
Use a spawn action that spawns objects with waypoints every 5 seconds. Then kill (deactivate) them when they enter a certain area.

2 questions:
1. can I spawn mobilescenery object or only AI ?
2. is there an example on how the spawn thingy works cause I didn't understand from the SDK, what should I put in the list? where does it show up ? what should be the object's properties
 
1) try it
2) try it
:D

Sorry, but I haven't used those spawn actions a lot, maybe others can be of more help in this regard.
 
ok i tried the spawn action,
I've created a waypointlist and few mobile scenery object which use the same waypoints.

I used a random action which calls 3 different spawn actions which spawns 3 different cars. when I check the mission I see that each car is only spawned once though FSX SDK says "If the spawn action is called more than once, then multiple objects are created"

here is my mission layout:

any ideas?
