• 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.

MSFS24 My first Worldscript - boat not showing up

Hi,
I've been following Superspud (moving boats) and Pinoti tips to create moving boats with a worldscript. I'm used to create costum objects, so I reused one of my ponton boat into a project (CSP8) that I update since many sims/years, with the intention to introduce a more living/moving world.

The worldscript works as intended but not the model converted into a simobject. It doesn't show up at the first coordinate.
The ponton boat dosen't show up either in the Object / Simobject list in the SDK.
I replaced my ponton boat with a windsurfer of Superspud (put into the same folder to confirm also folder structure) to confirm that the script is ok.

I compared the scructure of Superspud objects and my simobject and can't find what I'm doing wrong. Any idea ?
The simobject and script are attached.
Many thanks in advance!

Some screenshots:

Attached is a simple project that includes your SimObject and places it at 41WI. I'm guessing it is your Project structure that is not compiling the boat. So, use the attached project as a guide to get the boat displayed.

MSFS2024 has a method of creating SimObject projects via the DevMode. One of the possible methods is Boats. It uses a template to create a simple 2024 boat SimObject. Just something to keep in mind if you want more complicated SimObjects.
