Hello
I tackled this topic with P3D back in the day and I found it pretty interesting.
I would like to know if it is possible to render a screen on a scenery object, for example: Let’s say I have a billboard, and I want to render a sequence of frames through a pre-scripted C++ or any other language script, let’s say I want to render a billboard screen on a 3D model that lays in my scenery, and I want to be able to control that render pixel per pixel or through bmp textures loading; I read some of the low API SDK docs that explained that this is possible for aircraft gauges without really mentioning 3D objects (scenery) or AI-controlled simobjects that could eventually be controlled through a simconnect app.
Hope I find an answer to my question here, thnx in advance
best regards
Redouane.

Seems like no one knows how to fully use the SDK or if it is even possible to be done, this sim has a great potential but 3rd party developers always have to figure out how to do things relying on their past fsx / p3d experience, it’s sad to see a sim that is constantly changing not providing examples or details on some SDK aspects
No idea about this, but maybe it requires some of the ’ animation features’ ? (sorry, i am a newbie at designing my own scenery 3d objects also)! So far ive created one control tower and 2 hangars ( with great difficulty) in blender
I think you need an MSFS equivalent of the P3D’s PDK Rendering System, which I don’t think is available. With the PDK’s rendering system, textures could be created and referenced elsewhere.
This is an example on P3Ds website of creating a texture.

I believe this is what @Umberto67 uses for the fuel display (Render To Texture - RTT) for the fuel trucks in GSX. @Umberto67 , do you know if the equivalent can be done in MSFS2020?
Kind Regards

Not really sure but you might want to have a look at procedural tectures in Blender?
I want to make it dynamic and to control it with a script ( like a wasm… )
Hello!
Has anyone discovered anything new for this?
nothing, any clue on your side ?
