• 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.

FSX:SE Exporting issues

Hi, so I'm trying to port an FS2004 aircraft to FSX:SE, but I'm having some issues. The animations are currently very broken in the sim, only the gear, reverse thrusters and engine animations work, but the gear door and flap animations do not. When I put the model into MCX all the animations appear to work, although the main gear dissapear. When I export the aircraft as an FSX model, the preview shows nothing and the sim crashes when I attempt to load it.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Did you check all animations in the animation editor? If an incorrect type is assigned they will be lost on exporting to mdl.

The FS2004 to FSX conversion is currently not automatic - you must make many manual changes yourself. And note that you will probably have the fewest conversion issues if you set the Importer Settings - Use Conditions to User Specified, if it's not there already.
