• 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.

Simconnect: provide a call to simulate lift/sink

Much of the soaring enhancements via simconnect could be vastly simplified with the ability to control lift/sink affecting the aircraft in a single simple call, e.g. by making "ambient wind Y" writeable or the use of a new function or variable(s).

If more than one variable were used then we might have "thermal lift" and "topographic lift" which might be additive such that a ridge-lift module could more easily co-exist with mission thermals or vice versa.

This is very similar to a function I'd like to see, which is the ability to apply a programmable force component to any of the 6DOF axes.

For example, I'm currently writing a program that adds a lot of missing helicopter flight dynamics to standard FS helicopters and the only way I can simulate stuff like torque-induced yaw is by modulating the pedal inputs according to power and airspeed before FS uses them. The ability to apply a Z rotational force would be better.

If I had the ability to apply a lateral pushing force I could then simulate a translating tendency properly, or a vertical force could allow me to simulate ground effect.
