• 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.

Hi

I'm not able to get the time of day tweak working.
I have entered the times in decimal and in hex ( I think) but my object just doesn't show at any time.here is an example of what I've tried to get my model to show between 7am and 7pm.

028C 0700 1900 dec

028C 2BC 76C hex

where have I gone wrong?

Thankyou

Vincent :)
 
Hi Vincent,

028C is not hour of the day, or so. It is time of the day and only has 3 possible values. From the thread with all variables:

Code: 
028C - Time of day
1 = day
2 = dusk/dawn
4 = night
 
OOPs!:banghead:


Ofcourse, Sorry. However even when using the variable 0389 which is hour of day my object now remains visible past 7pm
I wrote in MDL tweaker these examples with the same result.

0389 7 19 dec

0389 7 13 hex.

so how should it be written.

Or would I have to start a new flight rather than changing time from within a flight.

cheers

Vincent
 
Hi Vincent,

That sounds correct. I would have to tetst it here, to see what the format was. Will come back to this.
 
Oops, totally forgotten this post :).

I'll do a test this evening.
 
Works like a charm here. See the attached image for the settings I used.

One thing you need to remember is that the variable is always in GMT time. So if you are on the other side of the world, you might have to enter strange values.
