• 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.

wind velocity suffix

Is there a suffix for the wind velocity variable? Sort of like you need to put a "h" after a frequency.

Also, if I want an animation to start, and repeat, when the wind is 10 knots then I should set it like this:

Variable: 0C72h (wind velo)
Min Value: 10 (and the suffix if any)
Max Value: 100

[Apply to Animation]

then disable animation trigger.

Is that correct?

Thanks!

Hi,

No suffix is needed for the wind variable. You can still use it if you prefer to specify your values in hexadecimal format of course, but in general using the decimal format is easier for wind velocities.

If you just want to condition the display of the animation and not trigger it by the wind, I would only use an animation condition (and no trigger thus).
 
Hi Arno,

I did what you said (Applied a condition without a trigger) but the animation still doesn't start when the wind is within the listed values.

In the animation condition screen I chose "Apply to Animation". That didn't work either, so I then tried "Apply to animation trigger", nor did that work.

Here is the set up of my animation condition (Note, everything else is disabled such as trigger and secondary condition so I didnt screenshot those):

 
Hi,

I might have to check the code to see if that function is still working as it should. Another problem could be that wind condition usually only work if you have placed two objects on screen that interact with the wind. This is a common bug in FS.
 
Hi,

No, you need to place two copies of the same MDL file. The object itself can have one animation without trouble.

By the way, I noticed that you have a minimum windspeed of 10, which is quite a lot already. You might want to make sure you have enabled enough wind in FS to show the animation. For the windsock I made, I used 2 as the minimum wind speed.
 
sorry for hijacking this thread but I think it made a good references for others:) ,

I would like to know what is the value we are using when using wind velocity as selected variable ? is it in KTS ? I would like to know as well what's the maximum value could we use on it (I assume 0 is the minimum)
