• 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.

    FSXA Deleting AI from iTraffic

    Hi Guys, First off, I know it isn't very 'sexy' these days to still design for FSX-A and P3D ..... That aside ....LoL For a (freeware) application, I'm looking for a way to remove (delete) a flying AI from iTraffic; using it's assigned CID (as visible in the Traffic Explorer). NOT by deleting...

    Lvars and MultiPlayer ....

    Just thought to share this trick. Maybe you are familiar with the problem that, in MultiPlayer sessions, the value of Lvars isn't transferred in the MP-protocol between the mdl code on user's flightsim PC's. Example: Suppose you have a custom animation in a model that you control from an XML...

    FSXA Question on XMLTools (Tom)

    Hi Tom, I'm using XMLTools_v201 in FSX-Accel, and I have a question on XMLEVENTS (v1.1) Using this code: <Update Frequency="1"/> <Element> <Select> <Value> 'b' (>C:XMLKEYS:KeyName,string) '10061 (>K:PANEL_ID_TOGGLE)' (>C:XMLKEYS:KeyString,string) (L:TrapsEnabled,bool)...

    P3D v4 Brake system incompatibility FSX-P3D(v4)

    In case your ever stumble onto the same problem I did (when debugging why a XML gauge that worked in FSX, didn't work in P3Dv4): In FSX, when you set the Parking Brakes, the Avars for left/right brakes will allways indicate full brake pressure too. So: when (A:BRAKE PARKING POSITION,bool) is...

    P3D v4 Scope of G:vars

    I have a question on the visibility scope of G:vars in P3Dv4.* What I'm after: I want to detect, if in a panel.cfg an XML gauge is defined (and loaded/running) multiple times. Reason: for the type of "control" gauges that I make, this gives problems sometimes. In FSX-Accelleration, I use this...

    P3D v4 Script error in P3Dv4

    Hi, Can anyone explain why the XML gauge line (L:VSTOLMode,enum) 4 == (&gt;L:ChuteVisible,bool) is flagged as a "script error" in P3Dv4 ?? The codeline DOES work Okay, and I DO know how to code it differently to avoid the error. But I just like to understand why P3Dv4 thinks this is...

    P3D v4 Using Event AILERON_TRIM_SET ….

    Looking at some old threads like https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/aileron-trim.435319/#post-724173 the event AILERON_TRIM_SET was introduced in FSX (although not documented in the SDK), and has an event value range of +100 to -100 to obtain max. AileronTrim deflection (instead of the...

    P3D v4 FSX / P3D version number readout in XML code

    To work around a bug in SimConnect, introduced in FSX and apperantly solved in P3Dv4.* , I need to identify the exact FSX/P3D version a user has installed; to keep my XML code compatible for all FSX/P3D versions. For FS9 / FSX / P3Dv1/2/3, I'm now using Doug Dawson's XMLsound gauge, which...

    P3D v4 Doug Dawson's EventLogger gauge for 64-bit P3D ??

    Hi Doug (if you read this), For all my own developements (and testing other peoples designs) I always use your EventLogger gauge. Which is IMO the perfect tool to expose possible design/coding errors causing the dreaded "event flooding" problem. From what I can tell, the version on your...

    P3D v4 Search order of gauges in P3Dv4

    Hi, I don't have P3Dv4 myself, so maybe one of you can answer this. Suppose I have a gauge 111.xml packed in a file 222.cab in the main /Gauges/folder. So I have in the panel.cfg of an aircraft: gauge**=222!111 , etc to load this XML gauge. Now, the trick I Always used in FSX (for testing...

    P3D v3 fs9view alternative in P3D ??

    I'm using a XML gauge-controlled camera, based on the fs9view function, which runs a 2D window. This works flawlessly in FSX, but the gauge appears to crash in P3D. Is there any alternative in P3D ?? Rob

    FSXA Animations in Multiplayer

    Hi, In the development of our V22, we stumble onto the following problem when used in Multiplayer. We use the AileronTrim function to rotate the V22-nacelles. But because there are number of restrictions on nacelles control, we sometimes need to "correct" user AileronTrim inputs in a gauge. To...

    FSX Update section in XML (again)

    I've read many threads on the Update section in an XML gauge, but for some reason (my age ?...LoL) I still can't grasp the idea behind it. I mean, what's the advantage of using <Update Hidden="Yes"> (L:Test,number) ++ (>L:Test,number) </Update> instead of <Element> <Select> <Value>...

    Oh boy, this was unexpected and took me more then an hour wasted time ...:confused: When I was debugging an XML gauge (by commenting out sections in the gauge), I continously had Syntax errors causing the gauge not be loaded. Stripped down to the bone, this appeared to be the culprit...
