• 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.

MSFS Pilots Loading up Half Outside of Cabins?!

Hey all,

I have tried all my tricks at getting pilots to load properly, but now and then, at least 1 out of 10, probably more, they will load sitting outside of the cabin, half way out...

If I move them inwards, they are too close together. If I link them to a new dummy, or unlink them it makes no difference, they still malfunction intermittently.

Anyone know of a fix?

Many thanks for any thoughts or theories.

Not much I can tell to help you, just so much:
I've seen that with the ATSim Piaggio 149 too, so you're not alone with that bug.:rolleyes:

There are others. With the pilots, side by side, it is happening quite a bit.
I have tried all sorts of things to fix this. Nothing seems to work

I've seen this with one of my models. For me the pilot sits in the correct place, but for another user he's shifted about 6 feet forward. No idea what's causing it though.

Yep...


hate it... :( Hopefully we'll figure it out soon. I wonder why it doesnt happen with Asobo planes? We must be missing something....

A component to the mystery is.... it occurs every so often, like 1 out of 5 times. For those several times, it's fine. Then it malfunctions. So its intermittent. What would be intermittent? Cant be weather because I loaded up a presaved flight with saved weather over and over, and it did this. So its not a weather trigger. Something must be triggering this.

It occurred to me. I have the people slightly pressed into the seat, for realism. I wonder if its creating a collision issue with the sim placement of the pilots... I'm going to test that theory.

I believe the issue is pilots touching seats. Raising the pilot nodes up caused the planes not to have issues, however the pilots heads were rising out of the roof. I am lowering my seats a bit to see if I can cause this to stop. I had 12 successful bootups in MSFS with pilot nodes moved upwards. I did move the seats downwards and retested with original pilot node heights so their heads werent coming out of the roof and the issue persisted, lasting 3 bootups until it happened at bootup 4.

Pilot node collision with seats.......! Either move your pilot nodes up, or move your seats down, or both.
