FSX/FSX-SE Aircraft and Panel Design Forum - How To

I am not much of a designer, but an Idea person. There for, I was wondering if any designers had this aircraft planed or would like a challenge. The web site is www.adamaircraft.com and the plane is called

Guys, Hello my name is mick and i have a bad feeling that i may be asking about this in the wrong forum. but i will ask anyway. Over the past 6 months i have trying to find someone who can make or help me make a fs2002 gmax f-111 model for the AvDF. I have very limted skills in aircraft design (actually none). I am more than willing to give any info that is need to make this aircraft any other help i can give. So please if there is anybody out there that can help please email me.

hi all, just wondering if anyone had any info on the MU-2??? I know i asked about it a few months ago but i havent seen anything as of yet. I'm dieing to get my hands on one!!!! thanksthe "FUELER" at KROCfuelerguy

Hi all,This question may have been asked before, but couldn't find it on this forum...I'm building an A300B4, analogue panel for FS2002 and was wondering which FS variables or events are used to simulate a working APU ? Must probably which sets the battery life to endless or something, but I can't find any event or variable which fits this description.Any ideas ?Thanks for the help !Bj

Greetings,After noticing the tire marks on the runway from landing heavy AC, I wanted them for some of the old warbirds too. The default effect file "fx_tchdwn.fx" has the tire mark effect included as "emitter.2", while the default file "fx_tchdwn_s.fx" doesnt have one. So, to have the tire mark effect in smaller AC one can add this emitter to the "fx_tchdwn_s.fx" file as "emitter.3".The resulting runway tire marks will be way too big for smaller AC,so with slight editing, alternate files can be made for use with a variety of tire sizes.Below is the default "emitter.2" from the "fx_tchdwn.fx", followedby the edited version to be added to copies of "fx_tchdwn_s.fx".I named…

Just a update on the pic I posted in the screenshot forum earlier.Udo.:-wave

Rather than clog up this forum with a bunch of screen shots, there are a bunch of 'em available at:http://catholic-hymns.com/frbill/FS2002_PicturesLook for the link to the GMax Previews... :)

Since I couldn't edit my another post, I though I'd post another one. Check out this quality in a scarse repaint, Midwest Express. It's in the correct shade of blue too! GET IT HERE EXCLUSIVELY: http://www.gjsmith.com/textures/dc9.htm

HiHave got a "mousearm" by trying to write a string for TOTAL FUEL QUANTITY.I could use a little helpof course i use something like this, but the value is still 0!:%((A:Total Fuel tank quantity, gallons) (A:Fuel weight per gallon, pounds per gallon) *)%!5d! What am i doing wrong? PH-JVH

I wanted to learn about making a virutal cockpit (not just the panel but the interior of the aircraft). I cloned by aircraft, created the two groups for exterior and interior. The model displays in FS in both Spot and VC views.But when I move the eyepoint to where the pilot would sit, in VC, I do not see any part of the aircraft. IOW I see the ground where I should see the bottom and sides of my aircraft. As I move around I can see some parts of the AC like a cutaway view and I can see the tail when I look behind me. I can see the transparent glass outside and partly from when I pass through it inside, but not when the eyepoint is completely inside.Can anyone help?Steve

I'm looking into creating an XML gauge, which assists in the Max Cruise system already present on my Concorde panel.I plan to have this gauge as a system working behind the current autopilot. I hope to create a gauge that will function based on the following: -If AUTOPILOT MAX SPEED HOLD is on (I.e. bool, 1)And If Mach is greater than or equal to M2.00 then set VS to +50FPMElse if mach is between M1.99 and M1.95 then set VS to -50FPMAlso I would like use the temperature reading on the nose - but I can't find an a;var for it - maybe this is calculated?I have the following, but I'm not sure how to set this one out..? (A:AUTOPILOT MAX SPEED HOLD, bool) == (A:AIRSPEED MACH) 1…

HiIs it possible to bring an automatic repeat function in an xml-gauge?I mean, when I press the airco-switch with an Afterburner4 code the air sound stops playing when finished. After pressing, the sound starts again.(Renamed an airsound, lasting 3-6 seconds, to whm-sound4)Of course I can use a C-gauge. But you never know, maybe someone is able to make the xml sounds last longer than a click.PH-JVH

I'm a newbie at gmax aircraft painting, but I was finally successful at repainting an A/C as a cargo plane. Could somebody please tell me how to do the night textures? I tried doing them the same way I did the textures for the livery, but they don't show in FS2k2.ThanksRay

Last night I saw a 767 take-off in a TV show about ATC controllers at La Guardia. (much respect to you ATC guys!!!) The plane had to take-off in fog and moist condition. Therefore a absolutely magnificent rotating wingtip vortex was visible. I know there are vortex files for use at FS planes but they do not rotate.Now I had an idea: isn't it possible to make an INVISIBLE engine outlet in Gmax at the wingtips that rotates all the time. Now add a vortex file to it et voila: rotating wingtip vortexes (vortexi..??? ;-) )I'm no designer at all so I do not know if it is possible but it sure looks like a fine gimmick to me? So please my beloved designers, can anyone out there te…

Hi,I am working on a whiskey compass where I also can see the preselected heading of the autopilot. My problem is that when the preselected heading is below 0/360 the heading indicating triangle is positioned a long way to the right instead of the left see my picture.So how can solve this problem?Best regardsEugen(A:Autopilot heading lock dir, degrees) (A:Wiskey compass indication degrees,degrees) - dnor%((A:Autopilot heading lock dir, degrees) (A:Wiskey compass indication degrees,degrees) - dnor)%!03d!

Hi!I

Hi Folks,I am "doing" a panel which has two ADF's in the real aircraft. They are similar to the Collins type which is in the Kingair radio gauge.This gauge only uses one ADF which just duplicates the frequencies when doubled up as a second ADF (still with me? LOL) Is there an ADF unit which uses two gauges or can I make the Kingair ADF into an ADF2 gauge?Hope you all know what I mean!!Thanks

Absolutely AWESOME looking product! Check it out on AVSIM main page and look at the screenshots! Now, that was one product I never heard a single thing about until now. Not even a rumor! The first officer will enhance flying interest!Captain

from flipcode forums, just found this:http://research.microsoft.com/~hhoppe/Might help some aircraft meshes optimizations!

Hi, Currently I am working on the bank limit section of the 737 MCP. While it works it will not ( the aircraft ) bank past 27 degrees in HDG SEL mode with or without a bank limit. I adjusted the aircraft.cfg [autopilot] section to 50* flaps up or down and section 1203 [autopilot limits] in the .air file to 50* for both also. She just will not go past 27*.. Any clues???

I downloaded a Big Sky Airlines Fairchild III that I'd like to use for ai traffic. Is there some way to lock the landing gear in the down position using the fs2k2 aircraft editor? If not, is there someone who would be willing to modify the model for me? This would be for my own use...I won't upload the modification. I tried emailing the author of the plane but got no response.Sidney Schwartz [KPDX]

Hi gang,Well im feeling pretty brave...I've got cfgedit under control and its opened up a whole new way to occupy my time. I like to fly in vc mode and I was wondering if it is possible to make working switches in my DVC? If you tell me I now need to learn XML my wife will divorce me and take my dog...Im going to miss that dog.odog

Here is a pic of the interior as seen from the back seat...

Hi,Wrestling with the following:1. A red warninglight must come on when temperature is below 0*C2. That is the moment i want to press the deice switches: wings, engines 1 and 2.3. The light must then go off and vice versa (switch on-light off, switch off-light on.4. Temp. above 0*C a green light must come and stay on, as a warning to disconnect the deice switches. Who can help me with some advice?I tried a lot of combinations.Could only find switches for eng-deice, not for wings.Know the strings for OAT,TAT, but could not code the interdepence of Temp, and the actions (lights on/off)Thanks in advance,PH-JVH
