• 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.

FSX Animation import problem

Hello,

I am trying to import a model with animations (VC of an airplane) in order to exchange animation of a feet altimeter with an animation of a meter-based altimeter.

However when I look at Animation Editor window, there is a pretty long list of "Unknown" animations. Consequently as I re-export, these animations are lost.

Is there a way to circumvent this?
 
Hi,

Are you using the latest version of ModelConverterX? Version 1.3 has limited animation support. But even with the latest version I can't guarantee that no animations are lost on export.
 
I was using the newest nightly (at the time). Not sure if there were changes in the meantime.
 
Hi,

There haven't been recent changes to reading animations.

For FSX there shouldn't be unknown animations normally, the tool will make a custom animation for unknown types.
 
Ok, but I don't have that model. I'll double check if importing works as it should with some aircraft model I have here just to be sure.
 
Hi,

I tried it with another (complex) VC I have here, but I don't see any unknown animations. I get custom animations for the non-default ones.
 
I have tried it again with latest release, still nothing. Too bad, I really hoped I could convert altimeter to meters.
 
Hi,

Weird. The path to the modeldef.xml is valid on your machine?
