• 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.

    Excellent, thank you both so much! Always learn lots

    P3D v4 Switch/animation bool with night condition

    Hi, How would I go about adding a condition to my gauge that starts these 1 (>L:knob_fcu_light) 1 (>L:knob_fcu_display) when it is nighttime in the sim or after a specific time? Edit: I've come up with this, but I can't click them on and off. I don't want them on...

    P3D v4 Custom Bleed Air Source Knob

    I'm working on a knob, and I'm trying to connect it to (A:BLEED AIR SOURCE CONTROL,enum). I have attached the animation for the knob, right now it's just a simple 3-way knob, that defaults and starts in the middle (frame 10). I can left-click to go to frame 0 and right-click to go to frame 20...

    P3D v4 GPS/Map Xml for gauge

    Yeah I figured as much. Just experimenting with the GPS and I'm already creating trouble. I guess that leads to another question, is it possible to change the visibility of a panel gauge line ex. (gauge01=GPS!GPS) in a separate gauge? (if that makes sense)

    P3D v4 Switch bool on start up

    Thanks! Ok, so I've added that to my gauge, although the switch wasn't turned on when the sim started. If I changed 0 == to 1 == the switch was on, but then I couldn't toggle it on or off. Is it how I wrote the animation in the modeldef that would be affecting this, because I understand how...

    P3D v4 Switch bool on start up

    Hi, I made this switch animation in modeldef. I want to know what I need to do so the switch starts to turn on when the sim starts. Its an on-off switch, but I would like it to be on when the sim starts. <PartInfo> <Name>switch_pedcom_left_330</Name> <AnimLength>50</AnimLength> <Animation>...

    P3D v4 GPS/Map Xml for gauge

    Hi, I am trying to make a gauge that will show information about my flight. I also want to include a map (or GPS). Is it possible of creating an element in my xml code that calls the default GPS or what parts of the GPS xml do I need to copy over. I attached a picture of what I am trying to do...

    P3D v4 Index was outside the bounds of the array error

    You're probably right, that's my best guess at least. (Pm'd you)

    Hi, what does this error message mean: Index was outside the bounds of the array I was editing animations in an .mdl an when I tried to export I get this message, I can't open it back up in MCX and in sim, the mdl file shows except for any parts that were animated Please tell me I can recover...

    P3D v4 Toggle between Gauges in VC

    Hi, just wondering how I would go about making an gauge that would toggle between two xml gauges. For example I have in my panel.cfg, I have gauge00=test!pfd 6,6,412,504 and I want to have another gauge ex. gauge00=test!mfd that shares the same position? Whats the best way to do this if that...

    Make VC gauge (p3d)

    😅Yes that I know too, but A: worked. I replaced it with L: and that works too. But ya I don't fully understand a lot of how this works either (obviously). Anyways, while probably not perfect, the switch works mostly how i want it so I'm pleased. Thanks for all the input!

    Make VC gauge (p3d)

    Its perfect!! It's done! Thanks you guys! Edit ok almost. this is the final code, last question is it possible to prevent the left+right singles from clicking is that makes sense. For example can I make it so I can only (switch up) turn on the lights using the left click and only switch down...

    Make VC gauge (p3d)

    Heres my latest update: This has got me close to doing exactly what I want, the only part now is I'm stuck getting the rightsingle to do the reverse order of the left single. But the leftsingle works (ie. 0 is off, 1 is taxi lights and 2 is taxi+takeoff): <PartInfo>...

    Make VC gauge (p3d)

    So to make up this code. It is basically perfect for what I want except, at position 2, even though taxi and takeoff lights have a 1 in front of them, only the takeoff light is on. So it goes from both off, to taxi on, to taxi off takeoff on <PartInfo> <Name>switch_taxi_takeoff_330</Name>...

    Make VC gauge (p3d)

    Thanks! So basically, I can't use my custom takeoff light without the landing light (or whichever sim defined event I link it to)? <PartInfo> <Name>switch_takeoff_light</Name> <Animation> <Parameter> <Code> (L:LIGHT_TAKEOFF,bool) 50 * </Code> <Lag>400</Lag>...

    Make VC gauge (p3d)

    Thanks for that. Unfortunately that didn't seem to work. If possible can you do 0(down) is both Taxi and Takeoff Lights Off, 25(middle) Taxi lights on, and 50(up) both taxi and takeoff lights on. I'm also a bit confused about the landing lights and takeoff lights. The takeoff light is a custom...

    Make VC gauge (p3d)

    Thanks for getting back to me. I've tried altering some of the code to my understanding of what you wrote, but I'm still getting lost 😅. If you could provide an example that would be much appreciated.

    Make VC gauge (p3d)

    Ok I have to ask one more thing. I used the template for another combination of lights to have the same function but with the taxi and takeoff lights instead. The taxi light is the default variable, whereas the takeoff light is a custom variable by me. Problem is the takeoff lights aren't going...
