• 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 Need Help With Animated Flags

Hi.

I've been following @mamu's tutorial on animated flags and after a couple of trials I managed to get my flag working in MSFS 2020. Sadly though, it doesn't turn into wind direction. My Blender file is attached.

I tried to find the error but couldn't and decided to ask for your help. Any ideas what might be wrong?

I followed the tutorial until the last bit and at windspeed_05 @mamu didn't delete previous flagSource hierarchy but I did, thinking that he had forgotten to delete. So, my file ended up like this:

where @mamu's file looked like this:

Can this be the problem? Please don't tell me I should start from the beginning. :)

And lastly, I need to make 4-5 different flags. Is there any easy way to make new ones using this working file I have? I tried building MSFS package just by replacing the image with a different one with the same size but the resulting flag was not what I wanted.

Thank you very much in advance for your guidance.

I managed to make the flag work as expected.
How, I don't know...
I still need help about how to make new versions.
 
Now I know how to develop new ones...
God, I am on fire!
Thank you for all the support.
:)

Sorry for late answers, glad you manage to sort it out

For every else, the best method to reuse a simobject model is via variations in the sim.cfg
Add as much texture folder with another name like "texture.usa" or "texture.france" and reference them in sim.cfg
 
Thank you very much for your support Frederico.
Thanks to you and your tutorial I was able to do this.
Actually what I couldn't be sure was whether just changing the visual of the flag will work to produce a second version and it seems that works.
Thank you very much once again.
