• 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 Insertion of many objects

Hi all

I've come across a problem where I've got say 40 objects being placed into the scene at the same time through SODE as grouped triggerable objects, but a few don't show up. Turning them off and on a few times eventually makes them all appear, but it'll randomise the ones it shows until that time. I've seen a similar problem with Whisplacer when using the preview mode so I assume it's a FSX issue. Has anyone else come across this and fixed it? They seem to appear on their own though when the LOD changes.

Cheers
Will
 
Hi Will

I didn't actually test a scenario with 40 grouped triggerable objects, so you might have hit a limitation of the engine. As for the inner workings: SODE will then sequentially call the creation methods of SimConnect 40 times, maybe the SimConnect server just can't handle that stream of requests properly.
What kind of objects do you group? Are they lamps? May be you can merge those all in a single mdl file.
 
Hi Jeffrey

That would make sense that SimConnect can't handle as many inserts as I'm doing. They are lamps indeed. I could perhaps merge them together per runway but the reasoning for not is to maintain individual LODs per lamp. I'll have to see what it's like as a single MDL or just go with it!

Hi,

maybe you can make a model with the 2 lamps sitting each side of the runway. Doing that you can keep the lods and divide the number by 2.
 
SODE has no difficulty in spawning my nearly 600 hundred light models each with an attached effect. It takes about 10 seconds.

Maybe it's just a problem with my FSX install then. Was planning on reinstalling anyway as it's a few years ago now! Will also try on P3D when I get it.

Cheers
