• 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.

P3D v5 Assigning default animations to a custom model

Hello,
I recently converted some FS9 aircraft to P3Dv5 via MCX, and I had to reassign some animations, as they were custom animations in the FS9 models. In some cases it worked, in others, it has not. For example slats. I have a model with custom slats movement animation from FS9, I have now assigned the default animation "leading edge flap / left or right) but this doesn't work.

What about those default animations, that are listed in MCX, and how do they work in P3Dv5? Which of them are really working in the sim? And do they need gauges to interact, or just keys to be assigned like flaps or doors? Is there a list?
 
If you use the default flap animations, those flaps must be specified in the aircraft.CFG file.

This is the entry from the original aircraft cfg from FS9. Are there any errors that prevent them in P3Dv5?:
