• 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, I'm working on Milton Shupes Dash 7 to bring the Cargo and Combi versions to P3Dv5. So far all is done and is working fine.
Now I want to make an option to see different payloads in the Cargo version depending on the weight setting. So my question is if this is possible with the visability option in MCX? And when yes how must I do this? What visability option must I use? Many thanks :)

You would have to create visibility conditions in the modeldef.xml file for that. I'm not 100% sure what the weight variable is there.
 
Hmmm, I take a look at this and got the feeling not to touch this things :) Instead I will create three models, empty, half and full load. This is done in three minutes. Thanks!

Hi,
a bit late to the party but this is the XML I use for displaying payload

XML: 
<!-- Custom visibility if payload station weight greater than 10 LB.-->

    <Visibility >
    <Parameter>
        <Code>
                (A:Payload Station Weight:1, pounds) 10 &gt;
                  if{ 1 }
                  els{ 0 }
        </Code>
      </Parameter>
    </Visibility>
