• 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.

P3D v4 Switch cover animation

Wheel is indeed a legitimate <MouseFlags> parameter.

Right, 'Wheel' seems to have been introduced in v4, wasn't aware of that. Whatever it's good for, it won't work in, say, FSX, or p3d v3, etc, which may or may not be all the same to OP. Even in a V4/5 context, setting Mouseflag 'Wheel' and comparing it to 'WheelUp' and 'WheelDown', as OP does, will always yield FALSE, IOW, never acknowledge the tested user input. The obvious solution is to replace 'Wheel' by 'WheelUp+WheelDown' in the Mouseflags string.

Hi I have been searching through thread after thread online I learned how to get text to show on a 2d panel but I am not sure how to get it to show on a gauge in my vc? Any help in that area?

Use a 2D gauge to display the text (numbers) and place it over your 3D image. The Quartz font is similar to your image's numbers, but certainly not identical.
 
I can make the numbers I want show on the 2d panel but I am not at all sure how to place a 2d gauge in a VC.
 
Well I had a lightbulb go off and after a few hours of tinkering I got text displaying the way I want it. Not sure if I did it right but I did something haha.
 
I am working on my digital text on gauges and have them working for the most part. If I zoom in and look at them they look good but when I sit back in the seat in the normal position their brightness seems to fade to unreadable. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Make the polygons on which the digits are displayed Material blend mode "Additive".
 
Im working on coding my rudder assist switch. If the switch is off the rudder moves 5 degrees left or right. If the switch is flipped on the rudder will move 24 degrees left and 21 degrees right. So on a 100 key rudder animation the 5 degrees either way would be at the 40 keyframe and at the 62 keyframe for the right movement.

is this the correct way to write it?

Code: 
        (L:s2t_rudder_assist_switch,bool) 0 == if{ (A:RUDDER DEFLECTION,percent)
                    62 max
                    40 min
                     d (&gt;A:RUDDER DEFLECTION,percent)
