• 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 Guys!

Since a few weeks I'm trying to solve an issue. I do have a very small airport where I want to animate some traffic. The space is limited so at a certain point I can not simply make a huge loop turn, I have to park the car with an Y. I'm trying to accomplish that with 3ds Max path constraint. The difficult part is when the car should go reverse. I couldnt find any solution on the internet so I figured out myself a solution and the question is if you have better idea?

1. I have a main path (blue line) as usual the car follows it with path constraint.
2. At a certain point the car stops in a direction to go to reverse (like in real life) and waits a few moment
3. The path weight of the main path becomes 0, and the red line (reverse path) gets 50
4. The reverse path is followed from 100% to 0%
5. When stopped the weight is switched back to the main path.

I do have only one problem. For no reason at stage 2 for one frame the car switches to the red line and show it position at 100%. Basically the car should be at the right before reversing position. Any idea how to avoid that?

See screenshot.


Thanks
