• 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,

Is there a way of editing an API directly to make the object appear only when desired?

Note that I am not talking about an 'Effect', I am talking about ordinary objects, such as a boat that shouldn't appear during winter months, for example.

Thanks!

Timed scenery objects

Hi, Arno

Thanks. Problem is that I don't have a list of "codes". Now, from your tip, I know that

346 -> Image Complexity, and that 3 -> dense, 5 -> extremely dense, and I can guess that 4 -> very dense

28C -> time of day, and 2 -> dusk and dawn, 4-> night

But I don't have a list of codes for anything else. For example, how do I say appear during March, that kind of stuff. I did find a list for 'Effects' with the MOY, DOM, etc., but those don't apply.

Is there a place where I can find the list of possibile codes and their variable values?

Thanks!

Fern
 
Fern,
in effects just MOY (Month Of Year) is that You want to use. Otherwise You should check day of Year variable and check if the day falls in Your predefined range. Right now I can't tell You which variable is appropriate but I am sure there is one. Also check Scenery SDK for FS2000 (yes FS 2000!) where You have such list of variables and if it is possible also FS98 SDK, where is comprehensive list of variables.
For variables used in effects, check Effects SDK for FS2002 or FS2004.

Best regards,
