• 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.

FSX Aircraft initiated particle movement on rw, apron, ....

Problem description:
I am thinking about a solution, how to initiate the movement of any sand or ice, or,..., particle that is laying on any apron, taxiway, or runway with the scenery design development construction tools.
There are effects that are bound to (e.g. payware) aircraft that would at least do some "particle storm", but only for the given aircraft.
They will e.g. not sweep away for any given sand, ice, ...., from any apron, runway, taxipath,.....
Solution design:
- get the aircraft position and viewport (interior and exterior)
- get the aircraft "power" data: engine, nacelle, higth, speed, etc, nearly everything from xxx.cfg and xxx.air with their current data
- get the underlying scenery definitions
- get the specific "groundpoly" data that has to be moved
- develop or retrieve some mathematics concerning particular definitions and movements
Implementatation approach:
- cpmpletely open
- may be as a very first step a landclasss with dynamic objects and FSUIPC Support
As You see: It is just a very first idea.
Do you think it worthwhile to put any effort in it or even would like to join a group that just would start to think about it? Would You think it to be realizable at all?
Any comments are welcome.

Have you tried setting up an .fx that is triggered when the aircraft is inside a certain position?
