• 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.

Hi Friends,
This is the first 'post' for me, I hope You excuse my bad English.....:o
I'm trying to animate, without results :confused: , the little propeller of an external wind generator in a new GMax plane I'm making (C.R.D.A. Cant.Z 506C, a 1935 Italian three engined passenger floatplane).......
Can someone help me ?

Assuming FS9 is what you're using:

As already answered in the FSDS forum, name your "little propeller" as "anemometer" and align the Blue Arrow (Z-Axis) perpendicular to the propeller's axis.

Compile model, load FS9, go flying and watch it spin... ;)

If you're compiling as an FSX model, then you'll have to "translate" the "anemometer code" from the FS9 MakeMDL.parts.xml file to FSX modeldef.xml syntax, keyframe animate your "little propeller" and use the Attachpoint Tool and Animation Tool to assign the modeldef.xml code to the part.
