• 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.

Global AI AN-124 with v1.0.09

Hi Don,

It took a while to get 09 working.
- At first I got an error message that the .exe was not a windows 32 application. Reinstalling though, solved the problem.
- But then I loaded the Global AI AN-124 base file(from AVSIM) and it did not come out well. I tried it again and the expanding node for the select aircraft folder did not work properly anymore. It always reverted to FSX\Sim Objects\airplanes but no selection tree below it and you could only select the
previiously loaded aircraft. The only way I found to solve the problem was to restart the computer.
Now I do not know how SAMM works exactly and what its selection criteria are, but the said aircraft cfg contains in the model entry some paths to subfolders and maybe that is the problem? On the other hand, I made a copy of the file and kept just one model entry and adapted the cfg accordingly.
The model still does not convert properly (no wings).
'D you mind to take a look if you find some spare time?
Tks,

Roby
 
As you asked, I have checked the Global AN-124. (Incidentally, it would have been helpful if you had included a link to the file or at least the file name. There are a lot of An-124 entries on Avsim.)

Unfortunately, the conversion didn't go well. Being an AI model, it likely includes some design shortcuts that SAMM doesn't handle.

As for the other difficulties, your description is very confusing (as, I suppose, is the problem itself). Since things seem to correct themselves after a restart and since no one else is reporting such difficuties, I assume there is something unusual in your computer configuration. In my attempt, I downloaded the file, installed it in the SimObjects/Airplanes folder and ran SAMM. The conversion, while unsuccessful, did not generate any unusual messages.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Don
 
Roby,

Have you managed to run the AN-124 as an AI aircraft in FSX?

On landing it hits the runway, turns over and disappears.

On push-back, it bounces then disappears.

There is obviously something very wrong with the contact points.
 
Hi,

Tks Don and tks George.

Nope, I haven't tried the AI as AI. I just downloaded it to convert it to a static model because in the photoreal scenery there was one on the platform
(Lazy as I am I thought to catch two flies at the same time: updating SAMM and installing a static plane in the scenery instead of photoshopping away the one in the scenery (:)).
After reinstalling v09 I have not been able to reproduce the error anymore.
Will give it another go and check the AI as AI.
 
Morning,

I downloaded another AN-124 (AIG An-124) and that one converts OK.
As for the Global AI craft, if you replace the contact points by these:

point.10 = 2, -138.88, 0.0, 50.06, 100.0, 0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.000, 0.0, 0.0, 4, 0, 0

it works fine as AI (but does not convert to static).
