• 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.

Key Flaps not working right

Elliew all,


I have changed my flaps to 'l_flap_key' and 'r_flap_key' and animated them. However, they only animate on the wings, about 1/4 of the travel. Yet, the handle inside is also mapped with the same animation and it travels the proper distance.

All stop points (4 total, with one being at zero point, 4 being max flaps extension) is all properly setup.

Any idea's what the problem might be? If I increase angle more on the config file, I will radically effect flight, (though I could 'radically' reduce the flaps effect settings to compensate). I dont want to cheat though on this part as it 'should' be working properly. All I did was animate it and I have the key points proper.

FS9? You don't keyframe animate flaps if you are using those partnames in an FS9 model.
 
<--- did

(forehead brakes out in a cold sweat)...

<--- whispers, 'what have I DONE!!!!??' ackkk!



Oddly though, the flaps handle works brilliantly. The actual flaps themselves do not work right. How odd..

Bill, if you wish to keyframe animate the flaps, you can use the same script for them as I use for the flap lever. Note that the animation is driven by the "flaps handle percent" variable. You could also copy/paste/edit another entry so that you could adjust the <Lag> for the actual flaps to slow 'em down a bit, and leave out the <mouserect> part of the script entirely:

Code: 
  <part>
    <name>lever_flap</name>
    <animation>
      <parameter>
        <sim>
          <variable>FLAPS HANDLE PERCENT</variable>
          <units>percent</units>
        </sim>
        <lag>300</lag>
      </parameter>
    </animation>
    <mouserect>
      <cursor>Hand</cursor>
      <help_id>HELPID_GAUGE_FLAPS_SWITCH</help_id>
      <tooltip_id>TOOLTIPTEXT_FLAPS_SWITCH</tooltip_id>

      <callback_jump_dragging>
        <ymovement>
          <delta>30</delta>
          <event_id_inc>FLAPS_INCR</event_id_inc>
          <event_id_dec>FLAPS_DECR</event_id_dec>
        </ymovement>

    </mouserect>
