• 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.

You can remove the static versions and create flight plans for AI versions of your livery aircraft. Not only will they populate the tarmac, they will idle, taxi, fly and defer parking assignments to the user just like any other AI.

You can read my mind. I've already thought about something like this, but I don't yet know how to realise it. If you know of a tutorial or instructions, I would be happy.
I would like to keep the static aircraft because they fill the scene in and in front of the hangars. Fading out in connection with flight plans is then simply coordinated with the times of the flight plan.
If I use one of these planes myself, I would also like the copy to be hidden.

Hi there, I've read this topic and followed great Federicos' tutorials, I managed to build a hangar simObject which doors are opening and closing at daytime ... There's one little issue left : The doors are not fully opening and it's totally random : Sometimes they're opening at 70%, sometimes à 50%, sometimes at 90% ... the doors won't move until the end of the rail (but they are always closing at 100%).
I've set the same values as Federico in his hangar tuto video (2 strips at 80 frames and 2 strips at 100 frames in blender). Is it a known issue ?
Thanks again to all of you on this topic !

Hi,
I eventually upgraded from "partinfo" to "ModelBehaviors" and my animations are complete and go all the way. :)
(But, Blender 3.6 is not able to reload modelbehaviors tags before exporting)

Could you share an example for us with limited knowledge?
 
I'm at my wit's end regarding the animations. I probably have the same issue as @meijefs but I'm unable to fix by changing the modifiers.

The desired end-state for door animations. You can also see FS25 SDK 1.6.9 Blender exporter settings here:

Here is the code, which runs the animations to about 25-28% open. Using the default C172 in sim. :

Fix attempt 1: Calculation 165/0,27 resulted in 660. Which was inserted into couple of places. Result https://vgy.me/u/sXO3gV

Fix attempt 2: Altering the playback rate didn't seem to do anything, the animations stopped as if the value was "1". https://vgy.me/u/C2b1Dh

Fix attempt 3: This code hides the upper part altogether with yoke visible. It returns it to "closed" state with yoke hidden. State changes are instant.
