• 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.

Whisplacer use with P3Dv2.4

Hello all,

I would like to know if anyone has been able to use Whisplacer with P3Dv2.4 ?

This wonderful tool developed by LC0277 seems to be more challenging to use with P3D (v2.4) especially the real time visualization that does not work for me.

Otherwise all other functions seem to work well and the compiled scenery is showing up ok although the placement of the various objects is most of the time not very accurate because of the above issue.

I have tried with both stock libraries as well as custom libraries. I was able to "see real time" only one GA plane from the stock library which is even more strange as there seems to be no logic here. Maybe I missed something ?

All my settings/paths in Wishplacer 0.9 seems to be ok so any help or recommendations would be really appreciated.

Philippe
 
This is an old post, I know, but I've just figured out a problem I've been having with Prepar3D and Whisplacer. Just to explain my workflow, I use GMAX, and add models to a library as I develop them, and place new models in my scenery using Whisplacer. Then when the scenery is finished, I export the Library using MCX to change the old GMAX-type files for drawcall batching.

Because of the way that Whisplacer works, it continues to use the first instance of each model as a simobject for live placement, which for me is generally the pre-drawcall version. However when I started using Whisplacer with P3D, I had to re-create simobjects, mostly from post-drawcall libraries, and not a lot of objects showed up.
It seems that my P3D can't show drawcall-batched simobjects in Whisplacer.

The solution for me is to backup the libraries, use MCX to remove drawcall batching, redo the Whisplacer simobjects, then restore the libraries from the backups. So Whisplacer continues to use the pre-drawcall simobjects, but P3D uses the proper drawcall-batched libraries.
