• 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.

Hey all,


I have made my RG plane to be able to belly land with contact points derived from the floats contact points, thus it will coast in and sit down on its belly.

However, my prop remains immaculate. Wasnt there a trick to triggering a bent up prop model to appear when you hit the ground too hard? Isnt there a 'prop strike' A:var?
 
No, there isn't.

But what about this?

(A:PLANE ALT ABOVE GROUND, feet) 2 < (A:GEAR TOTAL PCT EXTENDED, percent) 10 < and
if{ 1 (>L:Prop Bent, bool) }


The "above ground" limit could be extended to the prop radius (or prop blade length).
 
Goodness...! That looks like it will work. Off to try it. I guess I should make this a 2D gauge so that people can turn it off; those who land roughly ALL THE TIME!

A thousand thanks Bjoern.

No problem. It wasn't the most complicated code to come up with in the first place.
