• 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.

FSXA Pitch and Bank with scenery objects.

I came across the problem of FSX Acceleration not implementing Pitch and Bank when displaying scenery objects in missions - the objects appear only upright. There are a few threads on the forums here that say the problem is down to draw-call batching - something I don't fully understand - but there is a work round by extracting the required scenery object from its library bgl and creating a new scenery object using ModelConverterX. If it is any help to others who come up against this problem, I've made a video tutorial on how to accomplish this, here:


It is a bit ungainly - but the method seems to work. Maybe there's another, quicker and more elegant way? Please advise - thanks. And thanks to Arno for MCX!

Cheers - Dai.
 
Hi Dai,

We've chatted about this over on fsxmissionshangar.com - some thoughts for the folks on this site…

First I think the method you showed is the preferable way for doing this. That said, I think one might be able to save some effort if they copied the New_Ship.bgl back into the Global/scenery folder. That way the path to its texture would be the same.

Second, there is a rather "quick & dirty" way of doing this if you are adding scenery outside of the Mission - just use something like ADE, add the object via their File Liber Objects add, and set the pitch/role to it. Yes this gives you an "airport" but if you are adding other scenery anyway…

LOL…given my sometimes complex approach to simple FSX mission issues, I wouldn't necessarily say "worthwhile" :)

BTW - I've watched that video twice now. I've got a handful of missions that I shelved because I couldn't get a ship or other object to "tilt" in some manner - I'll be dusting them off now. Thanks.
 
pitch 30 60 and 90 works on objects i have made but I never have gotten bank to work. however I have problems with standard fsx objects working at all.

PS been using ADE pro version for years and years.. it is well worth getting.
