• 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.

SODE V1.6.3 Open-Beta

Not working.

Which aircraft?
In the SODE Platform Manager, is the setting for automatic docking based on aircraft state enabled?

but the problem is that the PAPI RED and white lihts are not seen from far distance like the default lights
hope you can fix it and thank you :)

That's nothing I can fix directly in SODE.
The sample PAPI light models are just a demo I made within a couple of minutes. It just shows the mechanism and is not intended to work in production sceneries.

Basically, SODE only injects/removes MDL files. What those MDL files represent or how they are built is up to the developer/modeller. So if you need distant light objects, you should read up on this topic in the modelling section of this forum. There are different solutions for this I think, LOD based or relying on the MIP mapping of the texture file.
My demo MDL for the PAPI lights use the MIP mappings technique, but of course this can still be optimized for distance/visibility...Check the modelling section for further info or post a question there.

Hi Jeffrey,

After making changes as the image you have attached, SODE is trying to get the automatic docking works but I am getting the following message:
SODE Jetway Control System: No Door Parameters found for Aircraft Type B787
Hood will not extend...
I have the following lines on the .ini files:
AircraftExits.ini

[QualityWings Simulations:Boeing 787-8 RR]
exit.0 = 0.2, 67.00, -8.0, 5.0, 0;Door 1L //787-8
exit.1 = 0.2, 38.00, -9.0, 5.0, 0;Door 2L //787-8
[QualityWings Simulations:Boeing 787-8 GE]
exit.0 = 0.2, 67.00, -8.0, 5.0, 0;Door 1L //787-8
exit.1 = 0.2, 38.00, -9.0, 5.0, 0;Door 2L //787-8
[QualityWings Simulations:Boeing 787-9 RR]
exit.0 = 0.2, 76.00, -8.1, 5.0, 0;Door 1L //787-9
exit.1 = 0.2, 38.00, -9.0, 5.0, 0;Door 2L //787-9
[QualityWings Simulations:Boeing 787-9 GE]
exit.0 = 0.2, 76.00, -8.1, 5.0, 0;Door 1L //787-9
exit.1 = 0.2, 38.00, -9.0, 5.0, 0;Door 2L //787-9

AircraftParameters.ini:
[B738]
1L = 2.0, -0.2, 7.0, 1.75, 1.9
[B739]
1L = 2.0, -0.2, 7.0, 1.75, 1.9

Hope you can guide me

Thanks.
