• 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.

can someone help me out i just cant figure out why i cannot get any basic animation to work in fsx. im using max2009 and following the animation manager method from the sdk as follows

Tagging
Open the FSX Animation Tool: FS Tools>AnimationManager.
Set the Start frame as 0 and the End frame as 100 (just below the Create and Delete buttons).
Under Animation List scroll down and find rudder_percent_key and select it.
Click on Create to associate the rudder_percent_key animation tag to the rudder mesh. Rudder_percent_key will show up in the Object Anims window and the Create button will get grayed out.
In the image below, the part name is listed in the top right corner and the animation tag rudder_percent_key has been associated to the part and the animation has a range of 0 – 100.
Look at the dope sheet to verify the animation tag has been associated to the rudder:


i canfirm in the dope sheet





i then save the model and export via the aces export lod tool


my model is animated perferctly in 3dsmax yet when i export it i get no movement at all in fsx.

any help appreciated

Try this.

Make a box and animate it with 2 frames 0 to 100. Open animation manager.
Put 0 to 100 then click update sel for this new box.
Next click l_flaps_key from list.
Then click create. Then if you want you can click summary.
It will show frame 0 to 100 and the name associated with that part.

try this and see if it works. Simple test!

yes thanks it was a problem caused by using the export module rather than using file export
