In FS2020 the following applied:
- Submodels:
- clicking is possible
- LOD of the Submodel matched the LOD of the root model.
- Screens are not possible.
- The Submodel had to be built within the main model and exported separately. It couldn’t be attached to a “node”
- Attachments:
*Not interactable- Cannot draw screens on them
- LODs work separately from main model
- They can be built separately from the main aircraft and attached to a node. I.e. you could model a pitot cover and attach it to a node on the probe
From looking at the FS2024 samples and documentation it looks like Submodels and Attachments now support screens and interactions. The question I have is whether the LOD logic is the same as FS2020 or if something has changed.
For example, when inspecting the left gear in the the DA62 the right landing gear strut shows signs of LOD degradation. If that is intended behaviour it is great, but we need to know what triggers it to make good use of this!
Thanks,
