• 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.

FSXA menu shows at start of mission

I'm not sure what you mean by "when I need it to"

If there is a specific time you want it to show up, then a timer trigger starting from when the mission starts is the easiest. So Start at 0 and stop at 30 seconds to a minute or two?

If you are using SimVar, you can assign a key press to begin just about any action using the WHEN command and then the GUID of the action.

The syntax is: SimVar WHEN key press THEN GUID

I typically use the Tab key since there is no other FSX command tied to it, so…

SimVar WHEN TAB THEN GUID

Many many thanks for spending time to answer my request!

Sorry, I was in a panic after 3 weeks of trying to figure out what I did different to cause the menu to show at mission start. Before I messed it up, the sound files would play, and after they played Then the menu would show.

To try and use the TAB suggestion, I do have to ask. can we program in the key press or do we need the user to do that?
