• 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.

Hi@all

I have a question.

I will animate the Spoilers on the wing.
The Spoilers work as Ailerons.
It is possible that the Spoilers (Left and Right) go up by using
Reverser?

Code: 
    <PartInfo>
        <Name>l_Spoiler_percent_key</Name>
        <AnimLength>100</AnimLength>
        <Animation>
            <Parameter>
                <Sim>
                    <Variable>AILERON LEFT DEFLECTION PCT</Variable>
                    <Scale>-1</Scale>
                    <Units>percent</Units>
                    <Bias>50</Bias>
                </Sim>
            </Parameter>
        </Animation>
    </PartInfo>

    <PartInfo>
        <Name>r_Spoiler_percent_key</Name>
        <AnimLength>100</AnimLength>
        <Animation>
            <Parameter>
                <Sim>
                    <Variable>AILERON LEFT DEFLECTION PCT</Variable>
                    <Scale>-1</Scale>
                    <Units>percent</Units>
                    <Bias>50</Bias>
                </Sim>
            </Parameter>
        </Animation>
    </PartInfo>
Best reguards

You have to build 2 equal spoilers at really the same position.
And tag them with different visibility tags so that one is visible when you don't have a reverser and one when you have your reverser.

You could also caculate a value for the angle which is in the middle of SPOILER in percent and AILERON DEFLECTION PCT ind percent.
Maybe you can edit a special function for getting the angle of your spoiler.

(SPOILERS POSITION + AILERON DEFLECTION PCT) : 2 = MIDDLE ANGLE

In german I mean this.

i did this on mine, but the way I did it, was to tag one set as ON GROUND [reverse only works on ground], and other set OFF GROUND [for spoiler use]
