MSFS20 Animation autoplay only once?

[BfDelight]

Dear community.

I am nearly arrived at the final target with my animation that shall be played only between 0:00 and 0:01 time (it's a midnight ghost).

My animation is made in blender and 780 frames long (that is about 13 to 26 seconds long, depending on the framerates of the MSFS running fps).

The last question is: How can I make the animation only be triggered once and not repeated constantly between 0:00 and 0:01 LOCAL TIME?

My idea was to "cut" the <Visibility> condition to LOCAL TIME from 0:00 and 0:13. But if a gamer is running at lower fps than 60 the animation will be cutted somewhere because the <Visibility> condition makes it disappear.

Are there any variables other than "Autoplay", something like Autoplay only once?

Thanks a lot for any help and.... Merry Christmas to all of you and have a happy new year!

Here is my "tested and working" complete XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<ModelInfo version="1.1" guid="{65e7cdab-22ee-46bb-6990-bfc4c503ce68}">

<LODS>
<LOD MinSize="25" ModelFile="bfd_test.gltf"/>
<LOD MinSize="0" ModelFile="bfd_test_LOD01.gltf"/>
</LODS>

<Animation name="Ghost" guid="71fffad9-c36d-439e-8a39-fe3e4d362d90" type="Standard" typeParam="AutoPlay"/>

</ModelInfo>

<ModelBehaviors>
<Include Path="Asobo\Misc\SimObjects.xml"/>
<Component ID="Ghost" Node="Ghost">
<Visibility>
<Parameter>
<Code>(E:LOCAL TIME, Seconds) 0 &gt;= (E:LOCAL TIME, Seconds) 13 &lt;= and if{ 1 } els{ 0 }</Code>
</Parameter>
</Visibility>
</Component>

loop="False"

Thanks 614NLV, but still looping... have I placed that code wrongly:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<ModelInfo version="1.1" guid="{65e7cdab-22ee-46bb-6990-bfc4c503ce68}">

<LODS>
<LOD MinSize="25" ModelFile="bfd_test.gltf"/>
<LOD MinSize="0" ModelFile="bfd_test_LOD01.gltf"/>
</LODS>

<Animation name="Ghost" guid="71fffad9-c36d-439e-8a39-fe3e4d362d90" type="Standard" typeParam="AutoPlay" loop="False"/>

</ModelInfo>

<ModelBehaviors>
<Include Path="Asobo\Misc\SimObjects.xml"/>
<Component ID="Ghost" Node="Ghost">
<Visibility>
<Parameter>
<Code>(E:LOCAL TIME, Seconds) 0 &gt;= (E:LOCAL TIME, Seconds) 60 &lt;= and if{ 1 } els{ 0 }</Code>
</Parameter>
</Visibility>
</Component>

</ModelBehaviors>

and this is also still looping, what am I doing wrong? See:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<ModelInfo version="1.1" guid="{65e7cdab-22ee-46bb-6990-bfc4c503ce68}">

</Animations>

</Visibility>

I honestly don't know exactly
I have put this parameter in my animation and it works fine.
But I added it in a simple animation, without the visibility parameter.
In my xml file the loop parameter is inside <AnimGraph>
I think you will have to do some trying to find its right place if you want to use <ModelBehaviors>
I believe that if you remove <ModelBehaviors> as a test the loop will work ...

This is my simple animation, but I don't think it will help you much
