• 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.

    P3D v5 Fun with gauges & panels in default MH-60 helos (P3D)

    Could be - this map doesn't like to update very much on its own. Tends to freeze up, and there is no user interface provided in this aircraft. BUT having that ANR-75 radar there allows for that. Simply adjusting ranges on that one updates both maps. There is also a P3Dgps in the gauges...

    P3D v5 Fun with gauges & panels in default MH-60 helos (P3D)

    BTW these screenshots taken from a P3D scenario, ships placed by XML (like a mission back in FSX). Note the map on MFD picks up the ship contact.

    P3D v5 Fun with gauges & panels in default MH-60 helos (P3D)

    OK hold the phones, now it gets better! Download the Raytheon ANR-75 gauge by Garrett Smith, and pop that guy in there after the ground radar. I called it Nav Radar in mine, but whatever you like. Note for those searching on AVSIM ---> rathyeon_anr75.zip is the file name. So THIS bad boy...

    P3D v5 Fun with gauges & panels in default MH-60 helos (P3D)

    I just noticed these fun little features. 1. P3D comes with a ready-to-use ground radar map, just need to turn it on for whatever individual aircrafts you wish to use it with (add to panel.cfg). 2. P3D has an additional setting for tracking AI traffic on maps - Vehicles with a Radar Signature...

    P3D v4 FSR playback in P3D

    Cool, the aircraft or helo takes off from the ship. Got several going in one scenario, pretty fun. Why didn't I try this like 15-20 years ago? If I leave the AI aircraft as is, they just keep flying... well past the end of the FSR recording. So now the question is this. Once they are off...

    P3D v4 FSR playback in P3D

    I know - who is still messing with this old sim in 2024? OK, guilty as charged. But I wanted to share this, as I was unable to find anything on it here or anywhere online. When making your P3D scenarios in XML, there is a slightly different code for referencing the playback file - changes in...

    P3D v4 FCLP Scenario

    OK so I downloaded it and saved it. Converted .spb file back to XML and it is empty. If you like I will take a look at the XML file. Honestly, until proven otherwise, I don't really believe you need the spb file. I am sure your issue is just some kind of syntax is off or something easily...

    P3D v4 FCLP Scenario

    You should have all this stuff somewhere in your XML file. <SimMissionUI.ScenarioMetadata InstanceId="{C95EAB58-9E4A-4E2A-A34C-D8D9D948F071}"> <Descr>Metadata</Descr> <LocationDescr>Okinawa Japan</LocationDescr> <EstimatedTime>20...

    P3D v4 FCLP Scenario

    Joe, didn't get to look at this, but what I do is just use the overview files in the Tampa Tour example, and modify those files.

    Autogen SDK, Annotator GUID error?

    THIS ^^^ I was missing this and wracking my brain. I love this site. Thank you from 18 years in the future.

    Tail Number Colours

    I recently came across this post during a similar search. It is very old, I realize. However I want to share some findings. The P3D SDK states this (which I believe is unchanged from FSX): Specifies, in RGB hexadecimal, the color of the tail number. The first two characters following the...

    P3D v3 My AI Is missing

    I sorted it. It was not the AFCAD at all. It was some FS-9 traffic files that were in there. They were super localized, evidently, so that they didn't have an impact in other areas. I used AIFP3 to scan and convert them. Easy.

    P3D v3 My AI Is missing

    Hi Brian. I am also dealing with this in P3D v4 at a couple places - I do have AI traffic, and I see the aircraft at other locations, so this suggests my problem is at my modified airport location - eg., I did something wrong with my AFCAD, I guess. Do you have no AI at all? Or just none...

    P3D v4 Weeze freeware (released)

    He has also posted it to AVSIM - just search his name, or search for Weeze. You will find it.

    P3D airports not showing AI

    fixed - not an AFCAD problem. I needed to track down some FS9 traffic files. It thru me off because most of these AI aircraft showed up fine elsewhere, and I did have some traffic here in this location. I would have expected NO AI traffic to show at all, so I didn't really investigate this...
