• 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.

Hello

I try to animate an object with an armature in Blender.
It's not my first animation, but this time the animation don't work in MCX (and FSX). It work in blender however.
I Don't think I forgot anything and I don't understand where is the problem. I've tags, skinned mesh ticked in FSX parameters …

I join my file. Maybe someone will have time to take a look, it's just a simple animation for test.

I thank you for your help

Thank Doug.
Yes, I know but It's not my problem. I see the object, but his animation does'nt work in MCX or FSX.
The problem is with the animation

The animation of this cylinder work for you ?

For Bender I can not say anything, I use 3dsm. But for me I can solve the problem by changing the decimal separator of comma to dot (from "," to ".") in Windows in the Control Panel in Regional Settings. Then after the export from 3sdsm the animation in the MCX and FSX/P3D were back. Hope it helps you a little further :)

Thank you Christian. I've this setting. And it don't solve the problem :/

Doug, Can ask you if you can test my mdl ? If the animation work for you, maybe I've a problem with export ?

The animation work for you, in a strange way, but it work !!! And not for me.

I don't understand nothing, if it's not due to my file and to his export into mdl, what is the problem ?
 
Hello...

Make sure MCX settings are correct - Options -> Import settings - > under Use conditions = UserSpecified. Also -> Import settings -> Replace user variables = True, which is right above the Use conditions. If you are still having issues,... make sure you have the latest version of MCX.
 
Hello

It work now. I think it was due to my version of MCX.
I've Always a problem with stretched out animation, when I use MCX to export. Not if i export directly from Blender !
May be have you an idea about this problem. May be in the MCX export parameters ?
 
Hello...

Actually, the stretching was the same in Blender. So I don't think its MCX settings. You can't just change one bone and expect the others to just take it (so to speak). Think of it like an arm on a body, the forearm moves but so does the rest of the arm, such as the biceps (also, each bone has limits or weigh).
 
I made this animation quickly, just for test. I just create a new.
As I said : now, the animation work, in Blender, in MCX and in FSX. But the problem occur again in FSX only when I export the object via MCX.

It's not very important. I can export directly from blender to FSX. But ...
I use MCX to add night texture, because my object has 2 materials with a texture (Day an night) for each. And I don't know how add night textures directly in blender in this case
 
On a new animation, 2 captures to explain better my problem :
The first after export directly from blender to FSX
The second, the same mdl file, in FSX, but after export via MCX (The problem does'nt appear under MCX though)

Maybe I should post on a MCX forum ?
