• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FS2004: Nose-wheel/rudder connection

Hi!

Tinkering on with my animations, I am basically trying out all my stuff in FS2004 since my exterior model does not have that many animations - it would be fairly easy to remake the current animations for FSX.

Anyway, I tried to link my nosewheel to the rudder_key animation yesterday, instead of using the C_Wheel keyframed animation (it does look kind of jerky in the sim, does it not?), but instead of turning the animation along the wheel axis it made the whole front gear/wheel rotate along the rudder axis (so that when turning full left the gear/wheel was positioned some 1-2 meters outside the fuselage).

Since having 2 animations with the same name does not seem to work, does anyone have a tip to share on how to link an object to an animated part without using its center of rotation?

Not a major issue, but it would be nice to know... :) C_wheel works, but...

If I read this right, you made the nosewheel a child of the rudder_key part. Then yes, that will cause the animation to be linked at that rudder_key part.

Unlink - and then rename your nosewheel rotation to rudder_key_01 and animate as necessary.
