• 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.

Please for the love of god!!! can someone please explain how to get the mission pointer to point to objective areas in the mission. I have set up a great mission but cannot get this to work at all.

Hi Folks

British_Pilot -
Your use of the term mission pointer
rather than Point Of Interest, (POI),
suggests that you should look at the SDK - Mission Creation - Point Of Interest section.

Hi

thanks for your advice but i hvae manged to get the compass to point to the set point of intrest. but the pointer is MASSIVE and so is the composs any advice to get it smaller.

thanks
 
In the SDK documentation, you will see there are 4 scale varibles that can be changed to adjust the size of the object. You can also change the object used as a pointer by changing the SelectedModelGuid. You can remove the Guid if you don't want a marker object.

The player can move or adjust the size of the compass from within the mission to their liking.

I fixed it thanks.

However problem 2 has arrived. I am very new to all this as you can see. still learning i guess. But i am about lost how to create passing points in the air. For example i want my airplane to take off to 4000ft and then a .wav file to sound in the game once that this altiuted. i know this is basic stuff. but i cannot figur it out. please can you help me. I have managed to place all the ground triggers and effects work fine. but once i am in the air it is a no go.

thanks
 
You need a Property Trigger. The condition will be when altitude is greater then 4,000. In the SDK documentation there is a tutorial, Step 7, that will walk you through adding a property trigger to check for altitude. You can use this trigger to activate a Dialog Action.
