• 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 KAP 140 autopilot

    Hello experts, I am using the Lionheart Creations TB21 GT Trinidad, I love this aircraft because I used to fly its little brother IRL, the TB-9 Tampico. The problem is that the autopilot does not work as expected, I can even say it doesn't work at all. It works for maintaining altitude, which...

    MSFS20 Controlling AI traffic

    Hi experts, I would like to create AI traffic that I fully control with an external app. For example, I would like to program a light aircraft to fly a pattern infinitely, landing and going around. I saw that SimConnect lets you create AI traffic, giving you the control over the flight plan you...

    MSFS20 Flying ILS approach on autopilot

    Hello experts, I am developing an aircraft that has the ability to fly an ILS approach using the autopilot. The LOC mode guides the aircraft on the lateral axis (localizer) and the APR guides it on both lateral and vertical axis (approach mode, handling both localizer and glideslope). To engage...

    MSFS20 CoherentGTUI Thread

    Hello experts, In the MSFS FPS counter window, a section is dedicated to the CoherentGTUI Thread, do you know to what it corresponds? I ask this question because I would like to optimize my JavaScript code to reduce the time taken by this thread and I would like to know what part of the code...

    MSFS20 Power set with AUTO_THROTTLE_TO_GA

    When I use this AUTO_THROTTLE_TO_GA event ID to set TO/GA power (with auto-throttle turned on), the power is set to get N2 to 92%. Why is this value set at 92%? Where is it defined? In my systems.cfg and I have this: [AUTOPILOT] autopilot_available =1 autothrottle_available =1...

    MSFS20 Using events with index in JS

    Hello experts, I would like to use a key event in my Javascript code. I know how to do this, it is easy. For example, to set the altimeter Kolhsman setting to 1013.25, you can do this: SimVar.SetSimVarValue("K:KOLHSMAN_SET", "number", 16125); The problem is that I have several altimeters, with...

    MSFS20 Autopilot PID reset

    I think the standard MSFS autopilot is quite good if the PIDs are correctly set for the aircraft, this is what I have experienced. I am currently fine tuning the autoland of my aircraft, it works well, but I have another problem: When autolanding, the autopilot commands a trim nose up attitude...

    MSFS20 Cockpit sounds

    Hello, I would like to trigger cockpit sounds (alerts, altitude callouts, ...) from my JS code. I know the sound files must be packed into a Wwise package, this is what MSFS requires. If I have the wav files, do you know how complex it is to generate a Wwise package that inlcudes them all...

    MSFS20 MSFS Flight Model when landing

    Hello, Am I the only one being disturbed by the way the MSFS flight model reacts when landing? Since the release of MSFS 2020, I noticed this problem and it kept going update after update. The problem is about the behavior of the aircraft when touching down when landing. It always tends to turn...

    MSFS20 Autopilot pitch control

    Hello, This problem is not new, I also had it with fs9/FSX and could find a workaround, but not this time. I would like to control a pitch with the autopilot. For example, imagine I would like the autopilot to maintain a 3° nose up attitude. Is this possible? I tried to use AP_ATT_HOLD and...

    MSFS20 Autopilot LOC mode

    Hello experts, I am trying to get the LOC mode to work on my aircraft. To engage this mode, I use K:AP_LOC_HOLD_ON like I used to do with fs9/FSX/P3D but here it doesn't work with MSFS, the heading mode remains active and it does not capture the LOC. I must say my ILS is configured on NAV 3...

    MSFS20 Question about autobrakes

    Hello experts, My aircraft autobrake selector has 8 positions, as shown here: I changed the systems.cfg to set auto_brakes to 6, with the additional RTO and OFF positions, I have 8 positions, from 0 to 7. So everything is consistent. Now the question is: how does the sim knows which is...

    MSFS20 Manage needle animation in VC

    Hello, My aircraft has "steam" instrument, such as airspeed indicator, that works with a needle. In my interior XML model, I could animate it according to the aircraft airspeed by using Asobo templates, exactly like it is done in the Cessna. To be honest, I didn't understand everything I did...

    MSFS20 Settings ILS Course when configured as NAV3

    Hello, Do you know how to set the ILS course when it is defined as NAV3? I know how to set the frequency, all the event IDs are available for this (NAV3_RADIO_SET_HZ) but I can't find a way to set the ILS course. Needless to say SetSimVar does not work because SetSimVar is designed to be used...

    MSFS20 Common problem with rotating knobs

    Hello experts, I am not an expert in virtual cockpit animations and I am facing a problem that I believe is very common: I created an animation for a rotating knob that controls a local variable that varies from 0 to 359 degrees, and like the HEADING or COURSE knob in many cockpits, it can turn...

    MSFS20 Understanding Virtual File System

    I develop gauges in Javascript. As I came through a strange bug, I used the debugger to place breakpoints here and there. I happened to look into NavSystem.js, a source file provided by Asobo and when I saw it in the debugger, I realized the one I was using was not the original source file...

    MSFS20 Reading airways

    After some efforts I finally succeeded in reading airways using the FacilityLoader. In order to test it, I used a waypoint I know because it is part of my flight plan. It is DANKS, near Oklahoma City. This waypoint is both on J8 and J152 airways. The problem I have is that I am not sure I get...

    MSFS20 Importing flight plan

    When importing the flight plan from MSFS, I use the departureRunwayIndex and arrivalRunwayIndex attributes to identify the runways that were selected for departure and arrival in the flight plan creation screen, before starting the flight. What is strange is that departureRunwayIndex is always...
