• 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.

FSX Cargo Door 'appear' Code question

Hey guys,

I am working on a cargo door 'parts' appearence code for FSX.

What I need is for the cargo door 'parts' to appear when the door is at 99% or greater then, of its animation travel. The code that I have (for the Epic LT) that works is for 'Exit'. In the FSX SDK, there is no cargo door mentioned, only door_0, door_1, door_2, etc.

Any suggestions?


Here is the existing code which doesnt work with the SDK door_1;


<PartInfo>
<Name>air_door_parts_appear_cargo</Name>
<Visibility>
<Parameter>
<Code>(A:Door_1,percent) 99 &gt;</Code>
</Parameter>
</Visibility>
</PartInfo>




Many thanks,


Bill
 
Bill - remember - a door is a door is a door, whether it's a passenger door, canopy, cargo door, ....

As to the code, double check the spacing of the code. There's hardly any spaces between variables, etc, and I suspect that may be your problem.
Code: 
<Code>(A:door_1,percent) 99 &gt;</Code>

may not be the same as:
Code: 
<Code>(A: door_1, percent) 99 &gt;</Code>

(or appropriate variation thereof)
 
Hey Felix,

Well, that was a good suggestion. It didnt work, but it might have. Thanks for the help.

I went through the FSX SDK and FS9 SDK looking for a gauge A: call for exit number 2, such as Exit has, and no luck there.

It came to me to swap the animation calls from front to back, make the back door exit1 and front doors exit2. I am sure it will give me a ton of emails 'why on earth did you make the cargo door, door1???' :D

Sorry Felix,


I know, I should come in more often.

I have been trying to streamline things and cut down on my web surfing and forums.

I'll drop in more often.

:D
