• 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.

Slowed rotor blades effect needed ?

In the FS2004 aircraft - GyroBee, which is a gyrocopter, the author was able to keep the rotor blades spinning at what looked like prop_slow, even at full speed (where the pusher prop dissappears like normal), to give a more realistic gyrocopter rotor look and spin rate (about 300 RPM).

How can this be done. I have tried (with my meager skills), but when the engine is above idle the blades go into fast mode and the blades are not visible.

Can anyone create this effect ?

Thanks

Have only one set of blades, labled and animated as prop_still.

Don't use the Attachpoint Tool to tag 'em with the <Visibility> condition. That way, they should keep the slower rotation at all throttle levels.

That did it - visibilty was the key

I'm glad it worked. It was really a WAG on my part. I'd noticed that the prop0_still on an aircraft I was working on some years ago exhibited that slow behavior before I tagged it with the prop0_still visibility condition... :D
