FS2020

PreviousPage 6 of 6

I imported with the importer tool my Pf2k learjet45 model.
importing has no issues, besides there is no nice model shown in the MSFS hangar.

But after editting the model.cfg like before MSFS crashed.
When model.cfg is editted like this

[models]
normal=lear45
interior=

The outside view is there and the interior is removed.

hmm i do still have issues after importing the Perfect Flight Lear45.
Throttle is an issue in my case.
Must be some cfg setting, which is editable fortunatly now in beta.
For me the default Lear45 imported works fine in MSFS for now

Awesome to hear Roel!  Funny you say "for now", given time we might find it is broke again.

The throttle issue is something that everyone who has attempting to port over the Lear45 has reported.  (Unable to idle below 50% was reported by Jason.)  Hopefully this is something that the Asobo team will finally sort out for us in the next update.

I am currently testing MSFS in my sim.
Multi screen does look good now with my 3 screens!

I did run into an issue with FSUIPC7 .
I use this for calibrating my axes (2 Arduino Leonardo and 1 micro) .
In FSUIPC6 this works fine, but I have an issue when calibrate the axes.
I do see them moving in the menu for assigning the axes but in the calibration menu they stop responding; no values changing.

I contacted John Dowson, he tried to analyze this issue, but I discovered myself when I copy the FSUIPC6.ini to FSUIPC7.ini the calibrated values from P3D also ok for MSFS.
So this is a good workaround ...for now.

Has anybody here had issues with Arduino controlled axes and FSUIPC, or do you guys use a different method to calibrate the axes ?

Hey Roel,

Great news!  Having multi view wrap around visuals I think is on everyone's wish list when it comes to FS2020, so very happy to hear you got it up and running!  Share some photos and video when you can.

I think the majority of us, if not everyone is using Leo Bodnar BU0836A cards.  They work great and I have never heard of anyone having any problems with them.  (My sim is down so I can't test atm)

The only other thing I can add to this is I asked Jason if he planned to configure a couple Arduino modules to take care of the flight control axis.  His response was, "No, the Leo Bodnar cards work fine, no need to reinvent something that works great."  (paraphrasing of course)

It would be interesting to see if anyone has a Leo Bodnar card and if they are experiencing the same issues you are reporting.

Hi Roel,

Great that you have got the three screens working. I wont be any help for awhile with 2020 as I have inadvertantly configured my main P3D computer with my main Microsoft ID which I share with other computers. ( the idea was to make everything consistant across the computers ) . However I came unstuck trying to install a newly purchased MSFS 2020 on my P3D computer as it is already installed on another computer ( my VR computer inside the house). You can't have more than 1 instance of 2020 on the same Microsoft ID. Huh ? Microsoft told me to get a refund which Steam duly did.

Anyway to fix the issue I have to either convert to Local ID or wipe the computer and reinstall with a new Microsoft ID. So I will catchup to you when I have to re install Windows on my P3D machine or when I need to update to P3DV6.

At the moment I have broken with tradition and run my yokes and TQ's using Pokeys and calibrate using FSUIPC 6. There has been a few times where I have restarted the computer and some of the calibrations have reset which needed to be redone again. Who knows why but I think if a usb port on a hub does not register on windows startup and you start P3D, the missing peripheral is reconfigured. I stand to be corrected. The fix is to change the port, listen for the audible windows acknowledgment and then check in FSUIPC whether it is recognised or not.If so recalibrate. If still not, reboot windows.

Looking forward to MSFS. Thanks for trailblazing Roel.

I am able to run MSFS on 2 pc's
I use a local account on my FS PC , but am able , after entering my credentials to use MSFS on both PC's

Here is a first impression of MSFS on my triple screens.
It still needs some adjustments to get it perfect, but looks pretty ok for now.
I tweaked the Citation config files to get a outside view without the cockpit.
Also i still need to modify my Airmanager scripts to interface, but this is pretty straight forward, so this won't take to long.
In my early scripting i did not coded other sim interfacing, so work to do....

One thing MSFS seems to miss is (seperate) reverser option with axes 🙁
You can only use a button mapping for reversers ...hmm..maybe in an update.




 

I managed, after quite some fiddling around, to import a working Lear45 FSX into MSFS.
I have used the legacy importer tool , which you can download.

But importing often resulted in crashing MSFS or not being able to start the engines.
Also I downloaded the only available lear45 still in Github, this is also an imported Lear45 with all the MSFS config files attached I recon.  This also was no success.

What worked for me was not selecting any items to be fixed in the importer tool and just import it.!!

My Airmanager scripts can all interface with MSFS now, this was less work than I expected.
Almost all Simconnect events and variables have not changed since FSX!!
So only connection to MSFS was needed to enter in the code.

Also the outside view is pretty ok now.  It took me a while to realize I could use the mouse scroll wheel to set offset values for rotation etc for the screens.

Still some things need to be fixed.  Aircraft , callout and warning sounds still not ok yet.

FSUIPC7, which I only use for calibrating my axes seems to act differently than in FSUIPC6.
First assigning the axes to an FS function and then select again to calibrate worked for me.

Ok...so far my MSFS findings 🙂

Hey Roel,

Thanks for the update and report on FS2020 and what is available to us.  This all sounds very promising, especially being able to port in the old FSX Lear45 although not as smooth as we would like it.

I think this is now the second time I have heard someone having issues with the updated FSUIPC7, but it sounds like you have fond a work around.  Maybe that cork will get fixed in an up coming update.

You sim is looking wonderful!  I know a half dozen guys including myself that are a little bit jealous of where you are at.  But that's okay, we are nipping on your heels!

I stumbled on this one:

https://nl.flightsim.to/file/37606/lear45-fsx-msfs2020-conversion-working-cockpit

In my case this seems to work ok ; just copy it to the community folder , edit the model.cfg while removing the interior setting and you are good to go.
This one also uses some Cessna Citation settings but overall feels more like a Lear.

I do find more and more little difference in Simconnect variables and events between MSFS and FSX/P3D

For instance I use to APU Volts (I know, should be Amps) in my APU 7 segment panel , when APU is started.
In P3D a voltage value is present in Simconnect which I format to the 7segment display, in MSFS this is a value from 0 to 1!?

I wonder if Jason is also seeing similar issue while interfacing with the Jet45 software?
