• 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

Sorry if this is in the wrong area couldn't decide where to put it.

Has anyone successfully added their own custom vehicle to Simobjects\groundvehicle, then had it show up in FSX

I want to replace the default fuel truck with my own but without losing the original.

I'm using AFX adding vehicle links and vehicle parking, but how on earth do I change the vehicle to my own or isn't it possible?

Stevo ;)
 
Did you try to replace the MDL?

If that doesn't work I guess they're called as moving scenery objects with a unique GUID.

Would be interesting to enquire if it's possible to alter them. :)
 
No i didnt try that because I dont want to lose the default fuel truck.

I want to be able to put it in a scenery release and replacing the mdl will alter the fuel truck at every airport in FSX.

In the FSX SDK it talks about a file called lwcfg.xml, does anyone know where this file is, I've searched for it but its not on my PC the only file I've found is one called lwcfg.spb

Stevo ;)

If you want to alter that file you will intervene in the user's system much more than giving him an alternate MDL. I wouldn't do that.
But of course (as I said before) it would be interesting what could be done with that. :D
 
Hi,

Thanks for your help

I have managed to get my fuel truck (an RAF Bowser)into FSX as a sim object, I had to decompile the lwcfg.spb file to change the fuel truck name for Region K (UK) to the name of my fuel truck then recompile it. It does unfortunately change the fuel trucks at every UK airport.

I will try to do that as well as I want to mess around :D with inland boats.

Good to know it works for you. :)
