• 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.

    mirroring objects with animated parts

    Hello, I have nothing found for this in the MCX manual. Is it possible to mirror a model object with animated parts within MCX? If not, what would be the way to do this?

    P3D v5 misplaced animated objects after conversion

    Hello Arno, it is for aircraft models. It is rotation. The parts are a gear Kompression animation (the part ist missplaced after conversion, and the animation is messed up), and the other case is a cockpit window, that is assigned to a key command (doors), both should be standard xml animations...

    P3D v5 misplaced animated objects after conversion

    Hello, I tried to convert some FS9 and Xplane models into a P3Dv4,4 model but some of the animated objects are misplaced after conversion, and some animations inverted or distorted. If I fix the animations previously, the error does not appear. Is there a way to avoid this, maybe by changing...

    P3D v5 Assigning default animations to a custom model

    This is the entry from the original aircraft cfg from FS9. Are there any errors that prevent them in P3Dv5?: [Flaps.0]//Dummi for Animation type= 2 span-outboard= 1.000 extending-time= 15.000 system_type= 1 damaging-speed= 250.000 blowout-speed= 290.000 lift_scalar= 0.0 drag_scalar= 0.0...

    P3D v5 Assigning default animations to a custom model

    Hello, I recently converted some FS9 aircraft to P3Dv5 via MCX, and I had to reassign some animations, as they were custom animations in the FS9 models. In some cases it worked, in others, it has not. For example slats. I have a model with custom slats movement animation from FS9, I have now...

    P3D v4 Rain effect on cockpit glass

    TFDI is offering true glass, but only to commercial developers, and only for sale. You can maybe ask them, but I doubt they will provide it for private customers, and the price would be expensive. You will also need some profound coding skills if you want to integrate that anyway...

    P3D v5 P3Dv5.4 lights problem

    Hello, since a certain time I am experiencing extremely bright landing lights and dynamic lights reflections as well as sun reflections on the ground, no matter what aircraft is used. The effects are untouched, so I don't think that is the reason. Please see the screenshots attached. What could...

    P3D v5 Propeller and Rotor animation...

    I converted the Area51sim AH1S Cobra. They have 2 textures for the Rotor and rear rotor, and both are causing a CTD if I try to open the Heli via the P3DV5.4. Aircraft selection menu. If I delete the textures, the Heli loads but the blades are invisible. Only by deleting the textures and all...

    P3D v5 Propeller and Rotor animation...

    Yes, isn't all this also shown in the Tree in MCX and can be altered there? I mean the visibility as well as the animation section of a prop? If I try to edit the modeldef entries via MCX and save it, it often messes up everything within, so, is there a way to edit it via notepadx or something...

    P3D v5 Propeller and Rotor animation...

    Hi, I recently tried to convert some old FS9 models to P3Dv5, it works in some way, but with the rotor or propeller animations there are some problems. In MCX for example there is given the visibility condition "prop blurred" or prop still or prop slow along with the animation and the specific...

    P3D v5 Switching pages on a MFD...

    Hi, I am about to integrate some MFD pages to a Harrier VC Cockpit in P3Dv5.4, so what is the best method to integrate several pages of a MFD that can be switched? Can I work with different VC section entries in the panel.cfg and their respective dynamic VC textures along with corresponding...
