• 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.

Weapon/gun effect

I am trying to make a downloaded gun effect work on a certain fighter, but with very limited success. I see how the gun effect can be mapped to the smoke system or the lights. But the SectionF8 F-86 has it somehow mapped to the brakes, but only after a certain switch is turned on once airborne and, it's listed in the aircraft.cfg as a beacon light. How on earth did they do that? And someone please tell me how a sound is mapped to a switch or button. If I disable the gun effect so I get no flash and tracers, I still get the gun sound. So it's apparently mapped to the brake button also. And it doesn't matter which button is used. If I move the brakes to button 3, I still get the same gun effect and/or sound. How did they do this stuff???

On the airplane I'm trying to make work, I put the gun effect under smoke system in the aircraft config. Then I put the smoke system to the "I" key and to button 1. With the I key it works correctly; on when I press and hold, off when I release. But for some reason with the joystick button I can't get it to work. It doesn't seem to matter whether the repeat is on or off, all I get with the joystick button is an occasional puff of gun smoke if I press the trigger repeatedly. What am I doing wrong there? Shouldn't it work like the brake or trim buttons do? The gun effect on the F-86 works like that.
VERY frustrating!
