• 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.

Hello all,

I've watched Adrian's video tutorial, and reviewed the applicable portions of the SDK but I have a few questions...

I saw another thread that said the "clamp to ground" funtion is broken...is this true? I've seen some sceneries where addon jetways work fine, and others where it does not. Any back story here?

Second, one thing I haven't seen yet is a proper implementation of the jetway stairs. Is it possible to have two "clamp to ground" handles in a single model? One for the drive wheels, and the other for the base of the stairs?

If not, is there a way to connect the bones/geometry of the stairs and the wheels so the base of the stairs slave to the "altitude" of the wheels without an explicit handle?

Finally, my jetway is very high detail, and I'll need it to have LOD's for performance considerations. How does one work with skinned animations and LOD's? Keep in mind, I barely have a grasp on making "normal" LOD's work.

Thanks!

Nick
