• 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.

Stupid question

When modeling an aircraft that doesn't sit level to the ground (i.e. CRJ-900 or MD-80) do you actually model it level,etc and adjust the pitch with in the aircraft.cfg or do you have to physically pitch the model?:confused: I noticed that Alpha India's CRJ-900 has "static_pitch = -2.02" in the aircraft.cfg. I'm using FSDS if it makes any difference. Appreciate it DougD
 
In FSDS (which is one of the neat things about it)

Just model it "straight and level"

Adjust your reference parts (gear.center, gear.left, gear.right) correctly.

When compiling (and clicking on "process references parts"), FSDs will write the points to the aircraft.cfg file AND calculate/write the pitch angle.
 
Thanks again Felix. :)

But I'm still confused, You say "adjust your reference parts correctly", can you elaborate further? Won't FSDS use the reference points of each gear part when it compiles the aircraft.cfg?
