• 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.

    Two or more gauges calling the same update function

    After a few days of trial and error, looking in the SDK, other forums, and this one, I can't find where this is specified or prohibited. Is it possible for two or more gauges (GDI+), with the proper gauge declarations, utilize the same 18hz update function call in a DLL? Or does each gauge...

    P3D v4 GDI+ and MAKE_STATIC macro

    I'm working on an aircraft DLL and an associated aircraft that will need multiple GDI+ gauges, is there any way to have only one C++ driver/DLL (i.e. SDK.h and SDK.cpp to use the SDK example) yet have multiple GDI+ gauges specified? Or do I have to have one DLL for each gauge?

    P3D v4 Dynamic Lights Inside VC

    I'm writing a PDK dynamic light like the custom lights example, works fine outside the aircraft. When I try to AddLight to a point inside the cockpit the code controlling the light is correct in the debugger and seems to be fine; the light never appears within the confines of the VC. Is there...

    P3D v4 Engine Variables

    I have been asking around about which Avars to use for the engine system I'm currently working on. When looking at the SDK reference on variables, I see variables for different types of engines. My question is for a single stage turbine jet engine should I use those marked with the prefix word...

    Hexadecimal Event IDs

    In writing C++ code for part of the electrical system, I have found between the model/animations and the code there are a lot of things that are going to need custom L:vars (and some will require associated trapping events) since there is (seemingly) no Avar to get data from the sim related to...

    Pitot Static System

    I'm a new C++ gauge programmer and am stumped. As the title says this question relates to a complete pitot static system for an aircraft cockpit project. To get the airspeed indicator connected to the pitot static system to work I need to get the static pressure and the pitot pressure to...

    How to merge weapons using MCX and Blender

    I'm doing some research/learning on how to take an old freeware aircraft mdl import it into MCX, export it to a format that Blender will import with everything (animations, etc.) intact, mate the weapon(s) in Blender, merge the models, then use the Blender2FSX and/or Blender2P3D tools to export...
