• 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.

Manipulating models programatically

Hi Team,

I am trying to find a solution to a complex project I am working on. Essentially I have an airport that contains multiple assets, for example; buildings, perimeter fencing and gates, etc. With each of these models I wish to enable / disable them from appearing in the simulator.

For example there might be a datafile (XML, textfile, etc) that has a list of the models and a value of 1 or 0 (or true/false). I want to edit this file to change the value of the models and thus, having the models either exist in the airport in the simulator or not exist in the airport.

Im aware of 29Palms Configurator Pro however the key thing for this project is to programatically control this data file without the user being able to maniuplate the file themselves.

Thanks in advance,

Harry
 
You can easily use Simbojects to plan objects to show or not depending on specific parameters
However, a pro user is able at any time to mod the Simobject's .xml (it is plain text) (and basically show the object when he wants)

Another method can be Simconnect injected Simbojects
However, any user will be able to use the Simobjects in his own projects, and place them very Easily

I will look into the simobjects .xml as modifying the text document would work perfectly for what I need (it does not matter if the user can access it aswell, I have a way to attend to this)
