• 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.

ExternalSim or ISimObject animating 3d model

Hi,

I've got a question regarding using the ExternalSim API, or ISimObject APIs with a 3d model in Prepar3d.

I can't seem to get the 3d model to animate things like landing gears, ailerons, etc. Has anyone had any success in animating parts on a model that is controlled externally using either ExternalSim or creating a new ISimObject?

When using ExternalSim, I've tried using SimVars and Events to stimulate things like the gears, but nothing seems to happen.

I've also had a look at the SimpleAirplane example with the ISimObject sdk, and although that one animates the gears and ailerons, I'm not quite sure how. I've tried using that same dll with a different airplane model, and nothing animates. I don't know what is going on between the dll and the model, but I feel like I'm missing something. Are the properties that are defined in the SimpleAirplane dll also defined in the model that they have included for that?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
