Hi aSIMetric, The SimpleAirplane should Output in add-on form. Here is an example Output directory: %SDK%\Output\Debug\PDK ISimObject Samples\SimpleAirplane You should be able to copy the SimpleAirplane directory (which contains the add-on.xml file), into your %DOCUMENTS%\Prepar3D v5 Add-ons directo...

Hi John, However, the problem I'm seeing is that sending avionic commands, say to a Mooney model, returns the appropriate nav info, but when the same commands are sent when the LinuxSimulation package is running the various SimConnect functions appear to be received but no nav info is returned in th...

Hi TDinham, You should be able to control the behavior of the AI using a structured scenario created in SimDirector. This scenario would need to be configured to be useable by the multiplayer system (see ScenarioMetaData object in SimDirector). You will also need to create Player roles. Each joining...

Hi Sascha, Do you see this error when creating a new scene or when loading an existing scene? Can you check to see if your render mode is set to Scanline Renderer as mentioned here: https://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6311&t=138045&p=253752&hilit=scanline#p253752 Regards, Clif...

Hi Tom, You can re-enable the startup screen via your Prepar3D.cfg file. The Prepar3D.cfg file can be located in %APPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 directory. Here is an example: [USERINTERFACE] SHOW_SCENARIO_WINDOW=1 You should already have a SHOW_SCENARIO_WINDOW entry in the file, so you can ju...

Hi g1235813, I was able to reproduce a crash as well as the error messages you are receiving. It appears there was a bug regarding how error messages were displayed, leaving the message incomplete. Some of the errors are regarding images that cannot be found or gauge variables that could not be foun...

Hi Ralph, The PBR material Decal Order is typically used when creating 3D models that have coplanar surfaces (i.e. airport surfaces with lines or other details layered on top): https://www.prepar3d.com/SDKv5/sdk/modeling/3ds_max/modeling/modeling_pbrmaterials.html The Decal Order will determine the ...

Hi stinger27,

Could you try changing the controller API from Raw Input to Direct Input? You should see this option in one of the controller setting screens.

Regards,

Hi g1235813, 0. We do not ship source for the mooney_bravo.dll gauge. 1. The aircraft.cfg and .air(.asm) files are used to configure native simulation objects (i.e. category=Airplane). Custom ISimObjects do not inherit native systems in most cases. There are a few exceptions such as [radios], which ...

Hi g1235813, Thank you for your interest in Prepar3D. I've responded to your points below: XML Gauges: 1. This is likely outdated documentation. 2. I believe the tutorial expects you to create your .bmp file later in Step 3, however you should see some default images in SDK\Panels and User Interface...

Hi Andreas, There is a Key Event listed in gauges.h, however it looks like its not documented in the Learning Center: #define KEY_HMD_RECALIBRATE_ORIGIN (KEY_ID_MIN + 2400) You should be able to use the string version of this event: "HMD_RECALIBRATE_ORIGIN" Note that this an event and not ...

Hi Ralph, Could you try adding the DecalOrder element to your PBRMaterialDefinition? A decal order of 1 fixed the issue in my test case. Here is an example: <PBRMaterial id="{8A1B6D4C-7DCF-4946-8D70-79C20CCB8541}"> <FriendlyName>Custom Surface</FriendlyName> <PBRMaterialDefinition> <Normal...

I should've also mentioned that EntityAffiliation and EntityIdentification are new to Prepar3D v5. In prior versions, the same would be accomplished using the "Association ID" on the AI and user objects. Differing Association ID's would cause one another to be considered enemies. An Associ...

Hi nhl1996, You will also need to define the EntityAffiliation's and EntityIdentification's for your entities. For example, you can create an EntityIdentification for "Friendly" and "Foe", each would need to have a different GroupID. Then you can use the EntityIdentifications wit...

Hi Vamshi, The default SIMCONNECT_DATATYPE for SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition is SIMCONNECT_DATATYPE_FLOAT64. Since you are using an INT in your struct, you'll need to specify this type when calling SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition: hr = SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition(hSimConnect, DEFINITION_1, "...
