• 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 Adding a custom object to an existing cockpit

    Hi, sorry if it's a noob question, but I'm wondering, does someone know how one would add a 3D object to an existing cockpit in MSFS - for example, an iPad/phone attached to something, or just floating there if selected, which can run some HTML "gauge" or a web page. I know the HTML gauge part...

    Calculating landing rate from simconnect

    Yep, updated the SDK, and documentation is now in the horrible, unsearchable windows help display. This is the variable I was looking for. Takes runway slope into account, and I guess this is why it wasn't needed in the previous versions.

    Calculating landing rate from simconnect

    This is the new version of SDK? I think this is the new variable - I'll definitely try it out!

    yes, you have an app to try out: https://github.com/scelts/gees/releases

    Calculating landing rate from simconnect

    That doesn't work if the runway is sloped, I wrote in the first question. If the runway's uphill, you go with a positive vertical speed to land with 0fpm If it's downhill, you go with more than -0fpm to land with 0fpm. This is if the vertical speed is referenced to the earth's center, (or sea...

    Calculating landing rate from simconnect

    Ok, I'll reply myself, for any future reference. I found out that in the end, the best is to read "PLANE ALT ABOVE GROUND" in regular (fast) intervals of 10-20ms and then to take the average of the change in the last 100ms of the flight, before the "SIM ON GROUND" shows true. That's the only way...

    Calculating landing rate from simconnect

    Hi, I'm looking at how to calculate the landing rate as in these landing challenges, but can't figure it out. So I tried the variable "STRUCT WORLDVELOCITY". This gives you the vertical speed, and this is all great, but if the runway is sloped, it doesn't work (i.e. at Courchevel one has...
