• 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.

animated obj disappears when I slew close to it. NOT an LOD problem... just the opposite. disabling mipmaps did not help. no lod involved.
 
Might be a bounding box issue. Does it appear again depending on where the animation is in the time cycle?

You could try to increase the bounding box by tweaking the mdl file.
 
a friend is having this issue also. It seems it is not related JUST animated items. He made some target with off-white paper and a red diamond. slew away and the off-white disappeared but the red diamond stayed. I suggested changing the texture. He changed it to yellow and problem solve. both bmps were dxt3 with mipmaps. funny, though, On my machine the off-white was ok. Now he added some red balls in a row, which disappear if not viewed at a certain angle.
This happens on my machine too. Anyway in addition of sharing his scenery with me he sent me his project of a Leopard tank which he had trouble animating in FSDS. I found the problem, easy mistake I have made in the past. ;) Then I animated it myself and put it in a scenery of mine.... slew close and it disappears!!! Back away and it reappears. Never had this problem before. Either of us. Thank you for the reply. It seems time cycle does not matter.... any time during the animation - get close and the item disappears.
