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

G'dayLooking for talented aircraft designers and painters to work on a Lockheed Martin F-111G for 6 Squadron vRAAF (AvDF).Full credit for the design will be acknowledged on the website and the aircraft package made available to the public.Please point your browser to http://www.angelfire.com/falcon/6sqnThanksRoss FarquharsonXO 6 SQNvRAAFPS Also looking for someone to do a RAAF BBJ (Boeing Business Jet) for 34 SQN.

Hi team,Does anybody know if there is currently a 737 with winglets designed specifically for FS2002 ? I have downloaded several for FS2000, and very good they are too, but they all manage to crash FS2K2 for one reason or another.Cheers,

i'm working on a retractable landing gear aircraft with fsds and aircraft animator. the only problem is when i retract the landing gear it goes up into the wing and the wheel and gear bleed thru the top of the wing (remain visible). is there a way to make them disappear after they've been retracted?any help appreciated

Hi i have pss Airbus and this is for the fs2002 planes to. and for the system is their a guage or is their a button to press for the wipers to work ....thanks......

i'm working on a piper saratoga in fsds. when i build the aircraft mdl and base it one of the fs2002 default planes like the cessna 182rg or the mooney bravo and go test it out it promptly sinks into the ground and crashes. if i slew it upwards and then fly it, it is uncontrolable.if i build the aircraft mdl based on a beechcraft bonanza i have in my hanger it's perfect. or if i build the mdl on another aircraft i've downloaded it turns out perfect...i just can't seem to build the mdl file based on any of the default aircraft. any idea what's going on.your help most appreciated

Can someone offer advice on how to apply smoothing to gauge needles to remove the jaggie appearance? Many of the FS2002 gauges seem to have this standard (eg the Mooney gauges), but some of my wonderful payware aircraft have noticeable jaggie effects on the gauge needles.Does the SDK explain this? Or is there some utility program that I can download to uncompile, fix, and recompile a gauge?Sorry for the elementary question, but I have not proceeded much beyond editing panel.cfg files..

Hi Everyone,Is there an easy way to add, remove, change lighting to FS2000 aircraft being used in FS2002.Thank youMichael

why do i lose power when i open the overhead panel of my 767?the sim starts with the engines running, but i have to startup again, with apu etc., after opening the overhead.i use all sorts of gauges, default 2002, custom 98 and for the fuel and electrical system etc. "dai griffith gauges with apu".

Not sure if this can be implemented or not, as I know XML gauges cannot play sound files. Most 'master warning' gauges I know of illuminate and have a warning sound when they go off. The FS2000 Concorde gauge contains a MW gauge that only illuminates :-( Is there anyway to have a warning sound to accompany this?Thanks for any helpAndrewhttp://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3d18998a70df53b6.jpg

I need the following info for the MD90 (MD80also if possible):Indicated airspeeds (kts) for climb, cruise, descent, and touchdown, plusV0, V1, and VR speedsAltitudes, Cruise and Max (ft)Climb/descent rates (fpm)Fuel flow in either gal or lbs./hour for Climb, Cruise and descent/TouchdownAdditionally, deploy/retract speeds for the various flap settings, andlanding gear related speeds.Thank You Walter Meyers

can someone explain the difference between the aircraft.cfg file and the *.air file because thay both seem to be pretty much the same.also are there tutorials anywhere that help one understand the *.air file?

can anybody please paint a A340 in BWIA new colors , i watched one fly in and watched it take off from Londons Heathrow , what agreat site it was, id love to be able to fly on on my fs2002 , so i id be grateful if somebody could paint one or tell me where i can find one , thanks, Marc.

Im doing a repaint for Delta Express on mike stones b1900d, and i have everything done except the wings and tail, but i need help or guidance with the new Delta tail, if anybody could help thanks.. Matt P.S.- im doing a fictional repaint for the Abercrombie and Fitch clothing line, i have the boeing 767-200 done by posky, and im working on the b1900d in that same livery..just to let yall know Matt

Hi Guys,I have posted a shot of my a/c. The problem is when I add a reflective texture, the windows become reflective but lose their opacity. Can anybody help me out on this one.Regards,Udo.:-wave

Has someone made a realistic panel of the Boeing 737-800 or is someone going to make it to FS2002?Please tell me it's me favourtie panel just love it, i remember a very good one for FS98 but its a little old :-spacecraft

Hi,Would it be possible to make a little XML gauge that turns on andof the smoke system automatically at a certain altitude?This would be nice for the vapour trails.Johan

Hi all. Hope I'm in the correct departmaent for this request? Please forgive me if not.I require a Cargo 737 With doors that open, Just a plain white will do so I can paint in My VA livery.I allso need some kind of Hilo for Oil Rig Supply Flight's again in plain White..If anyone can help Me please! Many thnx!

HiI just found out that G:Vars don't completely work in virtual cockpit for some odd reason.One example is adding a G:Var to a A:Var inside a value tag. The 2D-panel would show the result of G:Var A:Var +, but the virtual cockpit only shows the A:Var (assigned to a needle, in my case an adjustable relative EGT needle).Another example was a "push-to-test" switch with a 2.5 second delay built in. When I assigned this gauge to the virtual panel, the delay didn't work in 2D-panel either, it was an instant reset.For the EGT gauge, I replaced the faulty G:Var with my own L:test,enum variable and it reflected the new needle-position in the virtual cockpit.Maybe something to plan…

I need to construct a toggle switch for flaps control with 'center return' in XML.I've constructed the Flaps Indicator and it works splendidly! Now I need the toggle for it.I have no problem figuring out most of what I need to do, but there are no examples of this type switch to study! :)I suppose that the "mouse action" will require some sort of if, els statement, but I don't have a clue about construction and syntax.Can anyone help?

hi,I am trying to model the canopy for my project and need to be able to select points and polly's so that I can cut the canopy.Using the selection box will not work as it selects one's not needed.I have tried holding various keys while clicking on points or polly's to get a multi selection .. no joy.is there a key button combination to allow this ?ThanksJohn

Hello,I wonder if it is possible to make a virtual cockpit with not only functional gauges but also buttons ! Just like in 2D panel.Moreover if that virtual cockpit could have same frame rate than the 2D panel, oh my god, it would be cool.Will we have to wait for FS2004 for that ?Nadege

I downloaded the SDK for making guages but I am stuck. What si the start of it. How do I tell it the backround picture etc... i can make guages liek nothign in FLY! and FLY2.J

Hi together,the scenery designers have a variable called user_variable_1. The offset of the first is 0x0312. They are global variables, but not included in events or token lists of fs2002.How can I access them from a gauge?Thank you very much.Greetings,Marcel

hi everyone... i'm trying to get into the world of aircraft design.. and i'm looking for some people that are familiarized with the gmax design, maybe for a little help to introduce me in this software, that I think its pretty complex, so, is there someone that could teach me some tips or hints to use this program ??? thanks to everyone

Hi everybody !I'm searching for a gauge for my Deperdussin Monocoque.I'd like to animate its yoke : a wheel rolling left/rightand moving foreward/backward.Someone already see this king of gauge ??Thanks,alanek
