• 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.

S-46 FD Testing Aircraft

Nice! I generally like this, the fact you have drawn and designed it yourself...made changes from other fictional aircraft...your own gauges ect it is just fabulous, you'll get away with putting this as a payware product!
 
The popup subpanels would be majorly cool.

A fixed plane with various subpanels...just like a MFD.
 
I'm going to use the canopy glass for that.
I just have to learn how to make XML gauges! :D
 
New paintjob!

Finally, after a while I got some free time to try this out:

Most of the cockpit's edges will be lit like this, only dimmer.
 
Polylines with a highly emissive material?

Cool idea!
What about a separate "bright" and "dim" setting for non-combat and combat situations?
 
Actually it's a light texture assigned to the self-illumination part.
Well, this being a research aircraft only, the context must be other, kinda like, high-g manuevers -> Brighter/ low g -> dimmer.

Click to expand...

That's cool too.

I have no idea how to easily implement smooth light intensity transitions though.
 
Booyah! I'm on holydays! This means I'll be working on this plane at 100%!!
Here's an afternoon work:

Just need to make custom codes for half of the buttons, animate them, add the pop-up screens, make the 2D gauges and then get some nice jet engine sounds to manipulate and add to the plane! :D
 
You guys are awesome!
Thanks!!
Only the altitude strip is left to be done and some other details!
My very first HUD/Complex XML Gauge:

Does it fit the plane or what!:D
