• 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.

    My really, really horrible day...

    I am posting this as a FINAL update on the donated funds. As I stated any funds left over would be used to help another Veteran in distress. I've started a separate GoFundMe campaign for the very person I had brought home a few weeks ago from the Little Rock VA Hospital. He had undergone lower...

    My really, really horrible day...

    Cue my "Happy Dance!" I just spoke to the garage's owner, and he told me my car is fixed finally. Yahoo! :wizard: The repair replaced both rear McPherson struts since the shock absorbers are an integral part of the struts and having them replace only one would result in an uneven ride, as well...

    My really, really horrible day...

    I used to live in NW Indiana. I relocated to SW Arkansas just over a year ago. I currently live about 9 miles west of Hot Springs in the deep woods of the Hot Springs National Park in a modest cottage. That is why getting my car fixed crucial, as I have no ready way to get groceries! :cool:

    My really, really horrible day...

    I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the owner/chief mechanic was a Formula One owner/driver and is presently building and driving a "Funny Car!" That gives me some confidence that he is an experienced and competent mechanic.

    My really, really horrible day...

    It appears that every garage in Hot Springs is suffering from an over-abundance of vehicles needing to be fixed. I visited the garage this morning and the owner told me that he was waiting for his parts suppliers to call back and let him know if they can get the parts needed. He said he would...

    My really, really horrible day...

    Well, a rollback picked up my car and took it to the repair shop Friday morning. Hopefully, I will find out tomorrow when it might be fixed!

    My really, really horrible day...

    Thanks to the generosity of my friends here as well as at AVSIM the goal has been met and I am hoping to arrange for my poor car to be towed to the repair shop tomorrow so it can hopefully be fixed quickly. I had two appointments at the Veterans Administration Clinic this morning, so had to...

    My really, really horrible day...

    Thanks rhumbaflappy! Any amount is deeply appreciated... :cool: P.S. I really am "fried" with this ridiculous 105ºF heat here in south central Arkansas! :yikes:

    My really, really horrible day...

    Some folks may remember me as having once been rather active in FSX/P3D development here and elsewhere over the past decades. My name is Bill and I am a disabled U.S. Army veteran. Last week as I was returning home from helping another Army veteran who'd just had major surgery get settled back...

    Time to Retire

    Hi Jon. I haven't been around for nearly two years by now. I log in just in time to read your swan song. Thanks ever so much for the very long and wonderful development of ADE.

    FS2004 Gauges to trigger playing sounds

    COM and NAV radios have knobs with discrete tactile detents. The only way to represent that is to use very soft "clickety sounds..." ;)

    Landing gear retraction animation

    Perhaps it is a silly question, but why would a hangar even need a gear animation? :scratchch

    FS2004 Gauges to trigger playing sounds

    Simply add an 'initialization' routine at the top, and then test for 'has it just loaded'. if{ (L:init,bool) 0 == 1 (>L:init,bool) } (G:Var2) (G:Var3) != (L:init,bool) and if{

    Anyone else ride an eBike?

    That is a nice looking eBike. I suspect that the main reason the RadRunner + is so heavy is the 500watt motor and the 14Ah battery. In addition the long rear rack and thick padded seat all to the total weight.... ...the two 20 inch/4.2 inch wide "fat" tires aren't light either!

    Anyone else ride an eBike?

    I was so excited when it arrived last Sunday! Then I tried to get it out of the MASSIVE box.... ...that has proved impossible for me to do alone. :censored: Now I'm uncertain whether I'd be able to handle getting it in and out of my house, and I'm sure not about to leave a $2000 eBike outdoors...

    Landing gear retraction animation

    The model I'm currently working on is using the same animation schema for gear extension/retraction/strut compression as indicated in my previous message. The only difference is using the model behaviors template(s) instead of the old FSX XML schema.

    Version: 1.19.8.0. "Build All" still destroys all objects.

    Sorry, but they've been too busy breaking other stuff. Good grief, could ASOBO possibly make the update process more complicated than it is? :banghead:

    Landing gear retraction animation

    Which platform? MSFS or FSX? Animations for gear have used 200 keyframes, with 0 -100 being retracted - extended and 100-200 strut compression.
