• 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.

Hi,
I played with simobjects, designing a bus with rotating wheels.
Very simple object: 1 box and 4 wheels animated with animation tool using c_tire_still to trigger rotation. No LOD. I'm facing 2 issues:

1/ when i'm close to the object all is ok but when i move back, suddenly the animation stops (an restarts if i move closer) just as if it had a hidden LOD. Other MS simobjects don't seem to work like that.

2/When i run FS and i begin far from my simobjects, model does not appear correctly. On screen "far" you can see the box but the animated parts appear shifted or even doesn't appear at all.
if i move clsose enough, the wheels appear and then don't disappear anymore. see screen "close". Of course MS objects work fine.

I can't find if i get modeling issues or fsx limitations.
Any help or idea welcome.
Feel free to ask more details if necessary
Thank you

Well let me answer myself.
It seems changing variable and using the c_tire_blurred key solves the issue.
Don't understand why !
 
Salut Alain,
J'ai le même problème! J'utilise la variable "ambient", sous FSDS 3.5.1. Que penses-tu que je doive mettre à la place?
 
Bonjour,
2 ans... j'avais (j'ai) oublié !
En plus je n'y connais rien à fsds. Je ne peux pas t'aider :(
 
Hi,

It looks like the same kind of visiblity problem I have when I attach an extra object or effect to a scenery object made with GSU. You have to approach the object very near and then the attached objects appear and stays visible even when you take enough distance. (Je n'ai pas la moindre idée du pourquoi) I haven't the faintest why, but I just thought to mention it in case it does have some correlation.
 
It is a very simple object. I remember it was tweaked to mask shadows. I will remake the object and tweak it for the new SDK. À suivre...
