• 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.

Is there any way to use the AB sam missile (originally a mission ai object) in free flight so that ir will fire off the same as it does in a mission? This would be for FSX A

sam missile reply

Hi,

Thanks for your reply even though it doesn't answer any questions. I have taken it upon myself to unravel this mystery of how an AI object may be used in a free flight senerio.
One other person has done this that I am aware of as I have a of couple of his scenerys with flying sam missiles. That is they launch from the ground and fly into the sky searching a would be target
The object he is using is the AB_Sam_Missile from the mission scenery of the Flight Deck5 by Abacus. I am just curious as to how he makes it work in free flight.
Post some details of what you are working on and if it is something I know about I might just hop on board and try to be of help. I do have a certain amount of knowledge and know how on several things to do with FSX,
By the way check my website for some interesting screen shots of things one might not always see in the flight sim world like cattle abduction by UFOs, mining scenes, and cows on the runway and other stuff. website is as follows http://fsxmania.com/home.html If that don't work just do a search for fsx mania

SimConnect has functions to control any form of SimObject in the sim. Thats how the VRS TACPACK works.
 
Ground to air missle?Why do you want to make it? But the missles won't shoot down any aircrafts.

I will take a look at the sim connect, got more reading and studying the sdk as well. Thank you for that bit of information,every bit of information is a huge help in a step forward to understand how things work in FSX.
Im going to add again for you and anyone else be sure to check out my website stated above to see some interesting things in FSX. I created the site for other simmers to enjoy, it is very basic so far but with a good screen shot page and a page with links to some of the scenerys I have created and uploaded to flightsim.com
I enjoy getting feed back from other people who are into the flight simulation. Thanks again for your input and ideas, they are always welcome.

Yes I have seen the Tackpak, very interesting. I want to wait until they develop a panel that can be used in any airplane before I buy it.
AS far as the sim connect goes I do not have enough know how to be able to understand hot to get into it or how to use it. I have gotten pretty good at working with things other people have created but have not been able to progress to the point of using the sim connect mechanism.
I do use the fsx placement tool in creating missions and placing AI and Static objects. But beyond that I have much, much to learn.
When the Tackpat becomes available for use with other planes I will probably get it.
 
If you want to shoot down airplanes this does a wonderful job....... Captain Sim Weapons for FSX. It cost about 15.00 I use it and have taken down a lot of planes, they burst into flames and leave a heavy trail of black smoke as they fall from the sky. Sometimes there is even a shock wave as a plane hits the ground. I have yet to nail a 747 though. The system even has a lock on for the target and with that you are almost certain to hit what you shoot at. Very fun!!!! Here is the link below. Dan

I have uploaded a new scenery for FSX. It should be available tomorrow or by Friday. It is titled "Dallas Nov 22". It is a recreation of the events that took place in Dallas Texas Nov.22 1963. I also added a number of buildings to the Dallas area as well as many parking lots. Parkland memorial hospital is one of the structures to be seen as well.
 
I have figured out how to make the AB Sam missile fly in free flight. It was quit simple once I got my head on right which took quit awhile. I tried a lot of different ideas but to no avail. However I have been using the Instant Scenery object placement tool in creating scenerys for along time. This is a wonderful program but until lately I did not realize it had an object library creating tool. Now....... after learning how to use it I created a library for scenery objects and I added the AB Sam missile model to the library Bgl and it works the same as it does when placed in a mission setting. Now it can be added to any scenery I wish to build without having to create a mission first. Wow I just realized my first post on this issue was way back in 2013. I had the tool to do what I wanted to do all along but I didnt realize it. It is wonderful when the light finally goes on!!!

This also works for the AB Scud Launcher.
