• 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.

Static Helicopters

Trying to install static Helicopters at Butts AAF Colorado, using SAMM 1008, as you can see it isn't working so good.

The Spot closest to the Cessna is the so called static Helicopter.

The other Helicopters are Flight planed AI Helicopters.

Bill, there are a few aircraft that just won't convert properly without a lot of work on your part. You've found one of them.

I've seen this sort of thing before. In that case, the display of certain parts relied on a particular animation being active and in a certain state. There was a lot of unusual scaling/rescaling in the model.

If you really want this static helicopter, then you're going to have to dig into the design, figure out what's causing the problem and then fix it. SAMM provides you with all the tools you need , but the investigation and design of the solution is up to you.

Off the subject of SAMM, and just a note of info: Guy Diotte has a library/scenery object of a USA Apache that you could use for a static. Not sure how it would texture match with Nick's AI model.
