• 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.

I opened up the model in Model Converter X because the animations worked in MDCx but NOT in the sim. My friend edakridge said to check the animations which I did. I found out that they were ALL mapped to the wingfold command and somehow were programmed to work automatically when you set the parking brake and shut down the engines. Then the baggage cart; ground power unit; cones; and nose wheel chocks all became visible. I didn't want all this stuff because I use GSX for my ground services so I went down the list of model parts and removed everything I didn't want. Then I opened up the model part and reprogrammed the animations to door0 for the main exit so it would work with [shft]+E; cargo hatch with door1 [shft]+2; service door with door2 [shft]3 and the flight attendant who comes down to the ground from up in the plane with the tailhook command. Every one but the door2 work like they should. GSX now is satisfied that exit 2 cargo hatch is open to load/unload luggage. I can't figure out why the service door does not respond. Any ideas from you guys who always have helped me in the past? Here is what the model part says in the object hierarchy:

Well, I solved my own problem again by a substitution. I found in my old hanger a copy of the ISDT ATR42 and substituted the exits information into my Vcol Atr42-500 and all three doors work The cargo is a little slow so I am going to check out what it ways again and get it and the service to open and close quicker but I've got 3 exits working. Case closed (again).
