• 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.

3D Switch Malfunctions

Hey guys,


Ok, this really has me going..


I have these two switches that control lights; Wing Lights and Logo Lights.

Each, in the VC, when mousing over the switches, they read that they are Vertical Speed adjusters, with a plus and minus to either side. And when adjusting them (to see if they turn on the lights) they do not, but do work the VS setting, lol..

Now, I have tripple checked my code on this, and its all right.. Here is one;

<part>
<name>kodiak_instrument_lights</name>
<animation>
<parameter>
<sim>
<variable>LIGHT NAV</variable>
<units>bool</units>
<scale>50</scale>
</sim>
<lag>400</lag>
</parameter>
</animation>
<mouserect>
<cursor>Hand</cursor>
<tooltip_text>TOGGLE INSTRUMENTATION LIGHTS AND NAV LIGHTS</tooltip_text>
<event_id>TOGGLE_NAV_LIGHTS</event_id>
</mouserect>
</part>
Click to expand...


The switch has been textured, scale reset, animated to work in a rotory fashion, and even works when you select the 'Nav Lights' switch. (You click on the Nav Lights button, and this one will rotate).

So I ask you, why would two light switches show up as VS setting knobs instead of light switches?

Found it! lol.....



I took a knob off of the Autopilot (VS setting), copy/pasted the Element, and detached, and used that to make two light switches..

Renamed them with new name tags, animated them.

But... They still have the 'gauge $pan texture on them.


:D

Found it... Glad I did.. That was about 2 weeks of stress and graying eyebrow enhancements...
