• 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.

Hello.

I`m trying to learn how SODE works exactly. So far I tried to make grass but it doesn`t didplay in sim.
What is difficult for me are the titles and which is pointing what. I would be grateful for any advice and correction.


xml file:

<SODE SceneryPath="PopradXAX11JUNE">

<SimObject Name="LZTT_grass">
<Placement Lat="49.0709417710207" Lon="20.23990631103515" Alt="704.7" Hdg="94.13" /> ( alt in meters ....wondering if I cuold put alt in feet )
<Model SimTitle="12bPilot_SODE_Environmental_Data_Probe">
<EnvironmentalDataProbe ClientList="grass_normal"/>

</Model>
</SimObject>

<SimObject Name="grass_normal">
<Placement "Lat="49.0709417710207" Lon="20.23990631103515" Alt="0#AGL" Hdg="94.13"/>

<Model SimTitle="grass_normal">
<ConditionalVisibility LogicExpression="A">
<Condition ID="A" Variable="MonthOfYear" Value="MAR-SEP"/>

</ConditionalVisibility>

</Model>



</SimObject>
</SODE>


sim file:

[General]
Category=Viewer
Module=SODE

[fltsim.0]
title=grass_normal
sim=
model=grass_normal
texture=grass

folder structure and names:

xml : LZTT_grass.xml
simobjects folder: LZTT_grass

subfolers: model.grass_normal texture.grass
mdl file: grass_normal
 
i want to ask you from where did you get the lines for condistion and .... ? i mean is there any SODE SDK
 
Conditional is one of the string used in other xml sode files where seasonal grass is applied. SODE SDK ? I`m not sure if I know what is it...

who told you to put this line : <Condition ID="A" Variable="MonthOfYear" Value="MAR-SEP"/> in the xml file
where did you learn that ?
 
I found in other xml files where SODE is used. Now I checked on SODE website and there is
<ConditionalVisibility Variable="MonthOfYear" Value="JAN-FEB;DEC" />
 
RED COOL
If you don`t want to help don`t answer instead of asking stupid questions and read post with understanding. I don`t need SDK for seasonal grass anyway ;)
 
@cfstaeheli and @Rafal Wator the time i read the doc
there were no infos about visibility conditions
they were added recentelly i guess cus last time i read it was 1 or years ago
and i can't consider any question is this a web site a STUPID QUESTION cus we didn't make the sim or the engine
i don't like this reaction and i belive it's not permited in this website rules
we are all here to LEARN not to talk about people that they ask STUPID things.
 
So it was missunderstanding. I`m learning SODE and thought that couse I was asking about obvious things. My appoligies. Anyway I solved my problem by studing many avaliable things that might be usefull and I got my seasonal vegetation :)
