• 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.

Export Problem SSDD

Hello all,

I was out of the game for a while because I didn't have a working copy of Max. My Max 2015 Academic expired. I was able reactivate my academic license with Max 2018, happy days are here again or so I thought.
Before 2015 expired I posted a problem about animations no working in the sim on export then when it expired I wasn't able to pursue it any further. The first thing I did with my new activation was to try an export and wouldn't you know it I still have the same problem.
I have gone through the entire process over and over again and still no animations.
Max 2018 linked to the latest version of Prepar3D v4 SDK 4.3.29.25520 and I use the latest version of the SIM.
On export I have checked both the X and xanim files for errors and there are non that I can see.
I can find no errors in the modeldef.xml.
To avoid any batch file errors I hand typed the commands to XtoMDL.exe with a dump to a build log. The build log shows that all animations were processed correctly without error.
When I added the new MDL files to the aircraft folder and ran the sim I get the aircraft with all animations at 0 frame positions, rudder left, gear up, etc. but no animations.
Something is happening on the compilation and I don't know what.
Would anyone with P3D v4 be willing to compile my X and xanim files and test it on their system? Maybe then I can narrow it down to something I am missing. I'd rather be embarrassed about something stupid I did then continue without progress.

Paul
