• 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 FSDevs :)

Short:
I am looking for a SimDirector Like tool for FSX, To place SimObjects :)

Long:
I recently found a verry cool addon called FSCAI (in short, it weaponizes SimObjects and make them shot at you, I love it) I use it Combined to FSX@War, but I can only fly where the FSX@War Campaign is (I did some AirAmerica in SouthEastAsia and Got FLAKed around airports; thats funny) but I can't personify it, like if I want to fly in "Papua New Guinea". I had a chat with someone on YouTube who got to use FSCAI wherever he wants, saying it needs P3D SimDirector. With a little research, I understood that its actually a SimObjects placement and not LibraryObjects, so I can't use Instant Scenery... I have found a sort of SimObject placer for FSX, but it don't even start (instant crash): https://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/18882/fsx-object-placement/

Thanks in Advance ;)
 
Why not just configure it as AI? Seems invocable that way, at least as a boat or aircraft.
 
Actually, I want to place some Flaks, static, I thinks all I need is a tool to place SimObjects :)
AI could work, but I don't even know how it works haha ;)
 
Just use the Object Placement Tool that comes with the SDK. Simdirector is just a P3D port of this tool.
Regards

The problem there is that Federico is smarter than most of us.

Additionally, you'd probably want to be able to shoot back.

It is suggested you apprise yourself more deeply of the attributes of library and sim objects. Library objects can be located using simple placement tools, like IS3, ADE, MCX, etc. Objects that get up and move around, need a more comprehensive integration than simple geographic coordinates. These kinds of softwares are more interactive, the included Traffic Toolbox, SODE (SimObject Display Engine), FSX@WAR, etc.

Any object, any model can be configured as static, or dynamic, then you use a framework to manipulate it. For a library model to become a SimObject, all that is required is a panel folder, an AIR file and an aircraft.cfg sim.cfg document. The manipulation can be performed by the simulator software, through the AI engine, for example, or it can be performed by external software, like SODE, utilizing SimConnect or FSUIPC. One clue that you are using an external process, is the presence of a drop down menu, like with FS2Crew UGCX or FSX@WAR. The drop down menu implies functionality and choices, that are not available in normal simulator operation.

Hey, sorry for late reply :)
Actually, I am just interted as being shooted at, I want to fly unarmed planes:
If not, I own the VRS TacPack (and I LOVE it)
All I want is to place the AAAs, FLAKs where I want.

I Tried IS3, the objects are not in the lost
I Tried Object Placemnt Tool, I can't compile the XML with BGLComp (following tutorials)
FSX@War/CCP, I tried, it works, but it took me 2 houres to place the FLAK and see where it is...

I wanted a SimDirector Alternative as, as shown on a video, one can precisely place objects
 
Yes, I plan to make some kind of "war zone" to spice BushFlying (just like the video above :) )
