• 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 am getting this failed animation message... after years of doing this I now get this message! Am I pointed to the wrong item in my sdk?

As things go, that's a pretty explicit error message. Doublecheck the guid?
 
How? I have never had to do anything at this point. FSDS generates the mdl with the animation, but right now I get this. I have a copy of FSDS 3 also. It seems to work there.
 
FSDS used to do this to me from time to time and I can't for the life of me remember the fix for it. However, to sidestep you can import the FSDS model into MCX and then export from there, it should work without an issue. If I remember what FSDS did I'll post it here - you're not going mad though, the program is full of little bugs like that.
 
Never had this problem before. for years. I just tried an old animation I did some time ago... I then recompiled... it worked fine. so- maybe I am forgetting something in doing ani!!! I sahll see.

Click to expand...

If I recall correctly, it was something to do with animations being present from previous work. Even if the animations were then removed, the program would throw an error on compile. Copy the object if you can, and paste it in place of the original, then animate. Or, better, just recreate it. Or maybe use MCX to give the FSDS part a new GUID and see if that helps.
 
Actually, guys, I found the problem. You can get that message if you don't go to current properties and in the name box, browse and click on 'ambient' . Simple mistake on my part. I hadn't done animation for a while and forgot to do that first. hahaha The joke's on me! pfffft.
Never had anything go wrong with FSDS for as long as I have had it.

Now- Tweak is another thing. Wish I could get that working again. The build exterior screen shows up a second time when the DOS screen runs. This renders the model non-usable. I've reinstalled, no dice. sent copies to friends, showed them how to install - set up correctly.... works for them...….. me ? nada! Emailed Nunez...…… of course... no response. Must be something in my registry. But- I think I started having this problem BEFORE I went to Win 10. Sure would be nice to have it working again.
