• 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,

There seems to be something going wrong when I try to change the orientation of an attached effect. I get all kinds of new entries but not the correct ones! It should be just a matter of changing the heading, pitch or roll, shouldn't it?

Hi Roby,

Yes, you should be able to just alter the heading, pitch and roll values that are given.

If you put heading 200, it might become -160, but that is all the same.
 
Hi Arno,

I gave the the following entries: 0.00; 180.00; 0.00
And see here what I get!

Hi,

If I put in 0,180,0, I get this:

(-180.00; 0.00; -180.00)

But of course a pitch of 180 degrees does give you weird effect. That is the same are heading 180 and then rolling upside down.

But I don't understand yet why you get a different result.
 
Morning Arno,

That was mjust an example.
And I do not understand it either.
It is as if the degrees are added up or subtracted depending on whether the heading is positive or negative.
 
Did you add the effects in ModelConverterX or were they added before in GMax already?
 
Ok, that's the same I did. Just try to figure out where the different results come from.
