• 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.

Using all the Shift+E kodes

Wee have all these fine aircraft that can do all sots of things with shift+E (open and close things,
wing fold, tail hook a.m.).
Is their any way to get them to do their things when they are used for AI traffic?
e.g. Camsim's aircraft almost bring its own airport with them!
Some of the default FSX open and close cargo doors, and I have come across a few others that do things,
but if it was possible to trigger shift+E 1,2,3 that would be nice.
NB I have started to use the little more advanced model, since it dosn't make much difference in P3D2
 
An interesting question. How would you see the this working? Automatically when an AI gets to parking it - opens doors or engine start (close doors)? Or would you be an observer looking at the aircraft and you would trigger the open doors command or whatever action yourself? I have not watch AI very much, I assume they don't do much before takeoff and after landing/parking.
 
AI aircraft need to have the animations controlled by other variables that are available to AI aircraft (door commands are not). This is built into the model, and cannot be easily changed.
 
So sending a EXIT OPEN:index (or any other command/simvar would not work) to a simObjectID via simconnect would not work unless it is somehow associated to the animation?
 
I couldn't tell you about simconnect, but it won't work in embedded animated parts using the XML file before compiling the model. It will react to the user aircraft's door.

Does each AI aircraft have a static SimObjectID value that could be used no matter the individual AI flight plan it is flying?
 
With simconnect you can keep track of the AI SimobjectIDs you created and send them commands, however I think it's a bit more complicated if the AI is already under the control of the ATC simulation engine. You would have to take away control. Giving back control to ATC is something I'm not sure of.
