• 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 How to use data to drive an airplane's animation?

    This confuses me a bit. Should I add another invisible blade pitch animation in 3DsMax? Or should I use PROP_PITCH_SET in Event ID to set the propeller pitch? If so, how can I write Lua script to map the data and animation?

    P3D v5 How to use data to drive an airplane's animation?

    I created a 100 frame animation for each propeller in 3DsMax. There are five keyframes: 0: 0 degrees, 25: 90 degrees, 50: 180 degrees, 75: 270 degrees, 100: 360 degrees. Do you mean this?

    P3D v5 How to use data to drive an airplane's animation?

    Thanks! I do have a host software to simulate the aircraft. I just don't know how to use simulation data to control animations through the program. Sorry, I should have asked more clearly, can I drive animations by SimConnect_SetDataOnSimObject setting the PROP ROTATION ANGLE: index?

    P3D v5 How to use data to drive an airplane's animation?

    Hello, I am new to aircraft design. I would like to know how to drive the animation of the plane with data. Specifically, I need to control the speed of many propellers, I added new prop_slow in Modeldef.xml file, These animations work just fine in ModelConverterX. I edited the Modeldef.xml in...

    HTML5 JS gauge P3Dv5 VC display

    I haven't used it in this way, and I guess HTML gauge cannot be used like XML gauge.

    HTML5 JS gauge P3Dv5 VC display

    Hi conver, I successfully integrated HTML gauge in the virtual cockpit. It's really not easy... My approach is to first create an airplane model in 3DsMax and set a virtual texture at the position of the panel. You can refer to this...

    Hello, I am adding a propeller rotation animation to a self-made helicopter model. I have linked the animation frame to the PROP ROTATION ANGLE variable. I want to control the propeller animation through the variable value of PROP ROTATION ANGLE. I use the SimConnect_SetDataOnSimObject function...
