• 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.

Exporting Linear Animation - Help Please

Help please. I am trying to get the door on a TAB-Vee model to animate with a view to using a Sim Variable to trigger door opening. I have watched Frederico's YouTube tutorial and got so far, but I am not getting an animation .xml file from the exporter. I use Blender 3.4 and the exporter version 3.4.50

Attached is the Blender file but with no textures as that would exceed the file upload size limit.

Can anybody tell me what I have got wrong please?

OK, so I have got to the point where my model exports to MSFS as a SimObject and appears in the scenery where I place it as a SimObject.

I started looking at the animation and can open and close the door but I am not sure I have the animations as two separate tracks. Do I need to?

This is how it looks in Blender. It plays from fullly closed to open, and then closes - all as desired. My question is Should I have two separate tracks in the Dope sheet, or are the opn / close animations accessible as I have it? If I am wrong how do I split the two actions?
