• 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.

CAT & LOD's

Hi

For the EBBR project, I'm currently working on the animated gates. I first created a full gate and animated it in Gmax. Then I exported the gate and added a trigger to it with the CAT tool. Conclusion: this is working perfectly.
Then I wanted to add LOD models of my gate to improve the performance of the scenery. I can export the gate scene with LOD's, but when I try to add a trigger with CAT I get this error: (txt file)

CAT error

I first thought that there was an error in my "LOD-tree" (with the dummies etc...). But I double checked it and there is no error in the tree. It looks like this:

Can anyone see the problem? Or are LOD's not supported by CAT.

Hi Thomas,

Are the animated parts only in the highest LOD or in all three of them?

I think it should work if the animated parts are only in the highest LOD, if all LODs have animated parts I am not sure. But to give a real answer on what the problem is, I would have to see the ASM source code.
 
Hi Arno,

I removed the animation keys from the 'lower' LOD models and it works fine now. Thanks a lot.
