• 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.

Hi. On a plane converted from FS9, there are some animations that show OK on MCX, but loading the plane on simulator, those animations behave strange. You can see the result on this thread http://www.alpha-india.net/forums/index.php?topic=25522.msg260324#msg260324 . Sniffing into the .xanim file, found that the strange behavior is caused by animations like this:

</AnimStream>
<AnimStream name="Rotation" id="0" partName="node82" length="200.000">
<Keyframe time="101.000" type="Quaternion" data="0.430511;0.000000;0.000000;-0.902585"/>
<Keyframe time="200.000" type="Quaternion" data="0.000000;0.000000;0.000000;-1.000000"/>
</AnimStream>

As you can see, it lacks a Keyframe time="0.000" line. Animation starts at 101.
So, investigating, I copied the first keyframe and added it with a time value of zero. Like this:

</AnimStream>
<AnimStream name="Rotation" id="0" partName="node82" length="200.000">
<Keyframe time="0.000" type="Quaternion" data="0.430511;0.000000;0.000000;-0.902585"/>
<Keyframe time="101.000" type="Quaternion" data="0.430511;0.000000;0.000000;-0.902585"/>
<Keyframe time="200.000" type="Quaternion" data="0.000000;0.000000;0.000000;-1.000000"/>
</AnimStream>

Made same thing to all animations without a zero in .xanim recompiled and... voilá. Works perfect.
So, it seems that MCX converting from FS9 routine, should check that no animations are created without a zero time line and in that case, a copy of first line should be copied with time zero.
