• 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.

Two issues...

Hi All...

I've got a couple of issues plaguing me, thought someone here might be able to point me in the right direction.

[1] Steerable nose gear. I'm doing a project in FSDS 3.0 (18-wheel log truck) that requires truning wheels and steerable front wheels. I managed to "borrow" some samples from the FSDS package and got the turning wheels working fine...but not steerable wheels. I tried their "HELP" examples...tried every one of their demo/sample projects...downloaded several projects from SimViation...tried using several different reference aircraft in creating the model. Nuthin'. I can't get a single one of them to turn that nose wheel with the rudder. Given how many I've tried and all the screwy combinations, I have to assume that at least one of them must have had a steerable noese wheel...which means I'm probably doing something wrong (or not right) when creating the model in FSDS. Anyone know what I'm missing? Or can anyone possibly tell me where I might find a project that does...for sure...have a steerable nose wheel?

[2] A very old topic here, I suspect: Landing lights. Is there a reasonably simple way to do landing lights in FSDS 3.0? I found a couple of tutorials that would require bona fide genius to understand them. FSDS 3.0 has been around for a while; seems like there should be something out there that a layman could understand. Maybe someone has a working project they'd like to swap? How about a very nice log truck that you can drive at night only if you bring a flashlight along? :-)

Anyway, that's my two issues...

Thanks in advance for any ideas, suggestions, or whatever.
