• 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.

SAMM2 Now Simulates Global Variables

I have just completed development of the last planned feature of SAMM2, i.e., the simulation of global variables.

Many complex FS8/9 aircraft models use global variables to control certain animations rather than using standard animation techniques. Presumably, these variables reflect the position of certain cockpit controls which, of course, don't exist in static models. Previous versions of SAMM ignored those animations.

This new version of SAMM 2, 2.1.00(k), available as the Development Release from http://stuff4fs.com, allows you to set global variables and SAMM will respond to those settings. Updated documentation is included.

While few of you are likely to make use of this new capability, I would appreciate it if you would download and use the new release in your day-to-day SAMM activities anyway. This will help ensure that the next general release is as "bug-free" as possible. Of course, if you do use the new features, I'll be interested in your feedback.

As some of you may be aware, there has been a concentrated effort during the past few days to eliminate all remaining bugs from SAMM2. Thanks to those involved. (Due to the underwhelming response to my request for volunteers to help test SAMM2, it was released with far more bugs that it might otherwise have had.) Version (k) includes all the new fixes.
