• 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.

    Turning Circles

    Thanks. No, I realise it's not necessary to reduce the wheelspan, but I'm wondering (and will experiment) what happens if you do, so that there might be a better chance of the a/c remaining within the taxi path. So far, widening the taxi path to 8m. and setting the aircraft's wheel turning angle...

    Turning Circles

    Roby, many thanks for those tips, and I'll be looking to see if they might improve the situation. Just to clarify re the 'side wheel settings' - I imagine you mean the distance between the two side wheels, ie the sum of the lateral displacements for contact points 2 & 3. I wonder how far...

    Turning Circles

    Rick, thanks for your thoughts and, as you might say, philosophy for your FlightSimming hobby. I can certainly see your point of view. On the other hand, as with so many hobbies, there is a wide range of possible approaches. Over the years I've done a fair amount of sim-flying; but also spent...

    Turning Circles

    Thanks for those. I do, of course, have a taxi-path turning circle similar to those, but with a rather narrow runway, the a/c can't turn sharply enough, loses contact with the line, and sets off across country! It's necessary (but how to achieve it?) for the aircraft to turn round one braked...

    Turning Circles

    Yes, I did try altering the steering angle (I'm assuming that's the one you mean) - seemed to make no odds. I think the AI software engine probably ignores some of those parameters. I set it to 90 degrees, but it was clear the nosewheel was not following that turning circle.

    Turning Circles

    Not sure if this should be here, under Airport Design, but not clear where else it could go. I need to know if there's a way to make AI aircraft turn more tightly at the end of back-tracking, without heading out over the grass. Similarly when parking on a small apron area. I'm working on (and...

    Aircraft at Zero Lat and Long

    Hi, I'm new to this forum, so Greetings to all, and hoping for some help. I've been using FS since its very early days, and usually manage to sort out these glitches, but not this one. I've seen various threads along similar problems, though not quite the same. I've used ADE on and off for...
