• 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.

Problems upon problems, then breakthrough...

Man, getting back into my Fokker 100 project and I see now why I had to get out when I did. I was having a great many issues with it. One was just getting a test plane to show up in the sim. I hit that barrier again, having forgotten about it. I could feel my pain back then and a tinge of fear hit me. Not again... I hate barriers and problems.

So... I kept experimenting with exporting the model. Says it had some max vertices reached. Created new materials. Nothing. Then I tried exporting just the fuse and wings. Nothing. This morning, I tried just one engine. Nothing... Then I knew.. this isnt right. It must be something else. I tried all I knew. Then I tried putting the engine into the Mooney model folder to see if that would show up. UREKA!

I created a new folder system for the 100 and now it shows up fine. :)

THANK YOU JESUS! Thank You Thank You Thank You.....

Horrible when you come to problems and you cannot figure them out. Thankfully I figured this out, though I do not know exactly why it happened. Now to get back to the work flow....

Dont give up. Take a vacation, then hit it again.

It would be very interesting if you could determine what was wrong with the folders. Could you have accidentally changed the read/write security access?
 
I have no idea Paul. I deleted it and emptied the bin. It would have been interesting to know, but it could take me more days of time to finally find the exact issue.

The folders appeared correct, the config was gone over and over.

So glad to have it show up in the sim. A 'happy dance' moment.
 
Anyway I'm happy you got it squared away.
On another note, what is it with tubes that so fascinates people? I hate the darned things especially when I have to sit in one for several hours.
Ok, I'm going to run now because I'm sure there are going to be a lot of people wanting to hit me in the head. :eek:
 
There is no fathoming that mystery Paul, other than the engineering of the turbofan engine, a symphony of raw power and low cunning. There are sites where you may find answers to such a question, but I find the will to live ebbing fast after just a minute or two there...
 
lolol.. You guys crack me up.

I always loved the twin jets close to the tail version of tubeliner. The McDonald Douglas. Then I got the Fokker 100 years ago for FS2004 and fell in love with that plane. Basic panel, cool cabin, that twin jet in the rear close to the fuselage, not too big.

I was in a Virtual Airlines long ago, British Airways Virtual. BAV738, almost made it to Senior Captain. I did NY to London runs on the weekends, hops around Europe. Loved it. Something about doing a route and requiring it to be on time, a perfect run, a good landing, etc, etc, is kind of motivating.
 
Just because I don't care for tubes doesn't mean I don't want to see your mesh. My... but that sounds a bit lewd. :cool:
I'd like to see your wire as you progress.
Keep posting please. :)
 
Well, those darn tubes have a very strange effect on me: the engine sounds... It doesn't matter if they came from twins, sisters or "singles"; I'm always chuffed to bits when I heard 'em :D :D :D
