• 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.

Sling load release action

Hello there!

I searched this site for some time now (and other sites) but I could not find the answer I am looking for.

I am working on a sling load mission and I managed to pick up the load. That load I want to bring from A to B and drop it at B. Now I tried to solve it with a proximity trigger for that area. I think I will need a property for the load and then the condition that load has to be in area to fire the next actions.

Thing is I tried a couple of variations and I still do not get it work. I went through the tutorial from ths SDK (sling load) and it sounds completely Greek to me.
How do I set that bl*$#y property and how do I connect it to the proximity trigger for area B?

Thank you so much for your help. The answer might be simple, but I am trying since two days and it is getting frustrating.
 
Thank you so much for your answers. I managed it finally. In case somebody stumbles over the same issue and does not read all answers, here is the short version ;):):

It needs a ProximityTrigger! Instead of "User" the simobject has to be "Reference" and in Enter conditions referred to the specified object (e.g.: palett of boxes). On Enter Action will be a DialogAction telling the Player to release the load and then (hoping he did) continuous action as planned. (I even then set a TimeTrigger for 5 sec with a similar ProximityAction which fires the wanted action - after 5 sec, time enough to release the load).

Not the most elegant way (as I have to rely on the Player releasing the load), but it works so far.
 
I am also creating a sling load mission, one involving logging. I learned how to create this trigger by starting in free flight at the Rio Janeiro international airport.
By opening the OPT and loading the Slingload Tutorial mission, i was able to carefully understand how to do this. you might want to take a look to help refine your mission.
