• 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.

I have been exporting planes in fs9 for 5 years.

Can someone help me understand where to put the aircraft in the left view.
I am having major issues with the config not raising or lowering the aircraft.

the top view is ok!!!

DG:rolleyes:
 
I found my mistake.....i was selecting flight reset after adjusting the cfg.

I find you have to re-select aircraft to update the cfg.......

I will now put my aircraft wheels on the center line in the left view!~!

Click to expand...

The center line in the left view is properly placed at 1/4 MAC, centerline, waterline.

Keep in mind that this point is also the aim point for the spot view camera. If you have it set the wheel height, your camera view will be from the ground!

If you look in the SDK there's a picture showing precisely how it should be done.
 
I just came back to mention that! It's the camera view....

I find that the "static_cg_height= 3.79 " is perfect for performance and
camera. So I will lower the model back down.....

Update: I need help on why the plane moves forward when the mixture is lean? Strange!!!

The parking brake is on and the mixture is full the engine starts and the plane behaves perfect.

DG,

If you are setting up your plane in the 'scene', the location 'should' be about several inches behind the X axis in the scene Grid cross-hair. The center of the scene is supposed to be true Center of Gravity or CG, where, at that point, if you could balance it on your finger, it could be spun in any direction as its truly centered.


But, if you are trying to center it for the cam, never mind.


There is a way to re-adjust the CG view point for the spot plane view mode. You have to edit the code. I think Arno knows of the system to do this.

Thanks Bill and Lionheart,

I need help with the mixture causing the plane to leap forward...

It was the engine settings...working great!
