• 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.

    MSFS20 Unable to trigger a Container/Set of Waypoints

    I have been trying for days, to get a Fire Truck to exit the Firestation and drive to the runway when - and only when - the user aircraft has 7700 set on the transponder. I am using an Asobo asset in the form of ASO_Firetruck02 for testing, and it works fine until I try and add a trigger. I...

    MSFS20 Can Worldscript define a local variable for a SimObject to read?

    Hi All, I want to trigger an action in a worldscript (scenarii) which will create a local variable contain a value of 0,1 or 2. I then want the attached Container, which is a taxiway light, to illuminate a bright red in the day, and a lower intensity red at night, or to have no emission at all...

    MSFS20 Unable to create MSFS_Standard Material via Python

    Hello again, Please could you send me the exact code you used to test this, because I am getting nowhere. I am only a few weeks into Python, and this is the first big project. I have over 100 textures files to link to materials and place on planes, so I really don't want to do it manually...

    MSFS20 Unable to create MSFS_Standard Material via Python

    Thanks Ron, Looks like I will have to manually create the materials. What a pain, it was going so well too.

    MSFS20 Unable to create MSFS_Standard Material via Python

    I am working on a project that will generate ground markings automatically. One thing I got tripped up by early on was that MSFS requires a textured plane, rather than a vector colored plane for the Scenery/PolyMesh. I have got very close to my objective, whilst learning Python at the same...

    MSFS20 Problem using the new Asobo GltF exporter with Blender

    Is there an import or a from required to be able to add msfs materials? I've tried this method using the data logged as one does things manually, but it doesn't even name the Material. I have tried easybpy to create and name the material, which works, but then the attempt to set the material...

    Visibility based on player circumstances/parking pos

    Just a little late here, but if you have the aircraft you have placed is a SimObject, the XML controlling it is available to the customer, UNLESS it is encrypted. Perhaps you could package an alternative xml to remove it?

    MSFS20 RPN Woes

    Many thanks Anthony, you have confirmed for me how the stack principle works with multiple parameters, so I know not to try three in a row again. No spaces between if{ and els{ but space after is now clear, so if{ 20 } etc. Next step is to work out how to template this lot so I can efficiently...

    MSFS20 Missing Ground Markings

    Just for clarity, are you referring to PackageSources\MaterialLibs having a unique name, or PackageSources\MaterialLibs\MyMaterials? I tried to change MaterialLibs and it refused to allow a change of name. Oddly inconsistent as it allows PackageSources\ModelLib to be renamed.

    MSFS20 RPN Woes

    My objective, which I thought was going to be easy, is to change the conditions under which an animated hangar door opens and closes. The working version used "Time of Day" and XML_YokeHidden2 to close at night, but still be able to open if the users wishes to enter. The next idea was to add...
