MSFS20 Animation - rotation by wind direction in FS2020

[BlackJack]

Hey guys,

i try to understand the animations driven by the xml file of an object in FS2020. I created a simple teapot in 3dsMax with a 360 degree rotation at the Z axis with 360 frames. I also added a babylon animation group "wind" including the teapot and the Bone and exportet the gltf with animation.

If i autoplay the animation by the following xml file code, the animation show up ingame (see video)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ModelInfo version="1.1" guid="{D71FF17B-B0DE-49F6-9BEF-3078E81863DC}">
<Animation name="wind" guid="11a27969-811d-4fba-8eb2-bbfc2d6e0d0e" type="Standard" typeParam="Autoplay,Random" />
</ModelInfo>

but if i try to tell the teapot to show the wind direction with the xml code i found it doesnt work:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ModelInfo version="1.1" guid="{D71FF17B-B0DE-49F6-9BEF-3078E81863DC}">

<Animation name="wind" guid="11a27969-811d-4fba-8eb2-bbfc2d6e0d0e" length="360" type="Sim" typeParam2="wind" typeParam="AutoPlay" />

<PartInfo>
<Name>wind</Name>
<AnimLength>360</AnimLength>
<Animation>
<Parameter>
<Code>(A:AMBIENT WIND DIRECTION, Degrees)</Code>
</Parameter>
</Animation>
</PartInfo>
</ModelInfo>

Did i miss something? I hope you can help me to find a solution

The trick is that the model needs to be in the SimObjects folder instead of the usual modelLib folder: https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/flag-waving-in-the-wind-direction.449666
