• 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.

    FS2004 BGL data format within FS2004 aircraft MDL Files

    As I've mentioned on a previous thread in these forums, I received some FS2004 aircraft with missing main wheel animations that I'd like to fix. I've tried fixing them using ModelConverterX, but while I was able to get the main wheels turning I also noticed that most of the plane's control...

    Can I fix an aircraft model whose main wheels don't turn?

    I've been given some MDL files of FS2004 aircraft models that need fixing (the nose wheels rotate but the main wheels do not) -- the original author cannot fix them as his PC is no longer operational. I believe the problem is likely the naming of the relevant objects (IIRC they need to be named...

    FS2004 2D panel gauges are frozen when installed on new Windows 10 PC

    Back on the 12th my PC died on me (most likely a motherboard failure as when I turned it on I got no video signal nor any beep from the PC speaker) and needed to be replaced. I've now got most of my software installed on the new PC, but FS2004 still isn't working properly. I installed FS2004...

    FS2004 Can I invisibly disable the autopilot when simulating hydraulic failure?

    I want to be able to disable the autopilot without the "autopilot disengaged" sound playing or any of the autopilot settings visibly changing, in order to simulate a failure of the flight controls from hydraulic failure. If I just try to lock the controls by disabling the joystick (through...

    FS2004 Pilot and Co-pilot 2D panels

    I have an aircraft with a 2D panel with both captain [Window00] and co-pilot [Window01] panels. Currently the external view window is set to cover the entire screen, because if I try setting a smaller size in the [Default View] section it only applies as long as the captain's window is...

    (Solved) Conditional parameters in XML tooltips

    If I wanted to display a parameter in the custom variable (L:GAUGE_PARAMETER, number) in a gauge called "My Gauge", I'd write the following XML code: <Tooltip>My Gauge (%((L:GAUGE_PARAMETER, number))%!d! units)</Tooltip> If (L:GAUGE_PARAMETER, number) is equal to 15 (for example), then the...

    FS2004 How do I move fuel from tank to tank?

    I am developing a panel for an aircraft with left, right, center1 and center2 tanks, and I need to be able to move fuel from any of those tanks, to any of those tanks other than center2. Firstly, can I do this using FS2004's own functionality (something similar to the fore-aft fuel motion on...

    FS2004 Can I override engine starter keys and CTRL+E?

    Is there anyway I could disable the default functionality of these two keyboard operations and make them instead execute bits of my own code? In the case of the engine starter keys, I want to make them set internal variables in the panel (which will be used to move the starter lever bitmaps)...
