• 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.

MSFS20 Unable to trigger a Container/Set of Waypoints

I have been trying for days, to get a Fire Truck to exit the Firestation and drive to the runway when - and only when - the user aircraft has 7700 set on the transponder. I am using an Asobo asset in the form of ASO_Firetruck02 for testing, and it works fine until I try and add a trigger. I have tried a Property Trigger with the RPL code (A:TRANSPONDER CODE:1,enum) 7700 == which I feel should work, though Asobo contradict themselves as the variable type. SimVarWatcher works with enum. From the Property Trigger, I have tried attaching the Container directly as an Action, and also tried using the PT action to fire an ObjectActivationAction which then connects to the Container. Neither work.

I have also tried separating the Waypoints from the Container and firing them with ActivateWaypointsAction, actually my preferred option, since the logic I really want is to send the fire trucks to the runway whilst the a/c is still airborne, then make them chase it down once it is on the ground. Being able to trigger a second set of waypoints for the same container object seemed like a plan, a week or so ago.

As an aside, I originally intended to add Supersud's lime colored fire engine as a MDL via the library option. Sadly, up close, it starts dancing in pitch, rather like MSFS 2024 static aircraft. Ideas for fixing that too would be great.

Thanks in advance,
Martin
