• 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.

I tried and I can't make it work. I downloaded the file you fixed and tried to make it the same. There must be something I'm missing. Can you be so kind as also look at my file and see what's wrong? I made a Default_State track but the keyframes are obviously location, rotation and scale, so not sure how come your example with flag doesn't have those showing as yellow or green on those keyframes. That's the only difference I can see... I get these kind of results.
I'd really appreciate your help...

Actually it was clements who helped me and fixed my flag. But loooking at your object I think I know what is the problem. The Default_State must be a state with no transofrmation, rotation etc. of the bones. They all need to be in the "0" pose. This is kind of used as a base for the engine to calculate the object. So you need to get to this state where all bones are in their "origin" state.

And you also need to inculde the "axis" and parent your model to it, like shown in the first post.

How do I create keyframes that have no transformation etc.? It seems that the only way to create a keyframe (pressing "I") is to add location/rotation/scale. Without it set to something there is no keyframe. I'm probably missing something simple... Or do I just set location/rotation/scale to 0 and create 3 keyframes?

Sorry, I meant the first post in this thread: https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/blender-cloth-simulation-baked-to-bones.451678/

And to do the no-roation thing: https://blender.stackexchange.com/q...med-armature-to-its-rest-position/30913#30913
And then just go in Pose mode to animation - insert keyframe - whole animation (?) Did not try this in MSFS, but at least in blender it does what I expect it to do - I'm also very new to animation.

Ah, thanks! I had no idea how to reset the pose. I will test it tomorrow. Maybe I still can get it to work...

Nu such luck. I still get a monster. I can't individually make Empty parent of every object as they go wild. So I left the whole Armature thing a child of Empty.

But I've done the ) pose properly now, and it looks all good in Blender, but still a monster in MSFS.
