• 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.

    FSXA SODE Jetways Are Not Showing In FSX

    I'm not a SODE expert but I can confirm that the website no longer exists and that development of SODE ceased quite a while ago. Also, given that I do know that different versions are not always backwards compatible, you may be on to something there.

    Forum software update

    I think there's possibly a main router out. I'm finding that some motorcycle-related sites are also dead slow.

    FS2004 Boeing 747 Classic

    That's what I refer to as the Dumb Terminal approach in sd2gauXX. Inputs are via XML input variable ('terminal keyboard'), all calculations are done in a separate systems gauge ('mainframe') and only push out the final data to the XML display variable (the 'dumb terminal'). There's one step...

    Msfs24 new thumbnail size.

    I can. Over the course of MSFS2020 I pointed out a lot of errors within the SDK (grammatical and syntactical). Not one was acknowledged and not one was fixed.

    FS2004 Rendering a needle that rotates and translates

    sd2gau42.5 has clear instruction in it on how to create an OBS needle using MAKE_SPRITE. I don't actually show or tell you how big the mask is (an oversight), but is exposes just the area that the needle rotates in. I'm also making an educated guess that, based on the shading displayed on the...

    A question from Stone Age (CFS2 gauges)

    CTD with missing sound files was always a problem as most early third-party software assumed that the required file is going to be there. My first attempts to code DirectSound made me just as guilty as everyone else; the latest version of my code in sd2gau42.5 runs a check on the sound file...

    A question from Stone Age (CFS2 gauges)

    I've just done some reading on the Telefunken direction finder system and judging by its description, looping a sound wouldn't help because you need to vary the volume. Once a sound is processed in DirectSound and sent to the amplifier, that is it. You cannot change the volume without...

    A question from Stone Age (CFS2 gauges)

    Martin - part of the code requires a SimConnect call. As SimConnect doesn't exist in CFS2, you can leave it out (as per the sd2gau instruction).

    A question from Stone Age (CFS2 gauges)

    Did you download sd2gau42.5? (yes you did just read that right! 😄 ). Under the 'Adding Gauge Sounds' I placed all the code needed to generate sounds using DirectSound. Your question leads me to believe that you can program gauges and I have no reason to think that my DirectSound code will not...

    P3D v6 Sode Placer

    My guess is that's the only error message it can throw because the site is not available. It's probably not actually telling the truth.
