• 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.

FSXA How Can I Correct This?

Been running into this problem lately. The top front end loader is static. The lower is animated. Where am I causing such problems when trying to animate? Looks fine in FSDS 3.5.1. Looks great in MCX. But FSX is a no go. Bucket, Lift Arms, Front End and Rear End, and wheels are animated. Axis centered during animation. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

May it is due to bad X-Y-Z alignment of one of the parts and/or a bad parent-child settings.

You have written : "Axis centered during animation". I fix all my axes BEFORE programming animation.
 
jpfil, when you say you *fix* axis before programming - are you letting FSDS center axis to part, or are you manually moving the axis to a pivot point as a example?
 
Sorry for my bad englilsh. I have to write "set" in place of "fix".

I remember that that modifying axis (normal or "ambient" part) AFTER programming never give a good result. I have to SET all the axis BEFORE adding animation. That's mean that yes I have to set the pivot point BEFORE adding animation.
 
Yes, I tried it both ways. What was interesting was it showed perfect in MCX (ModelConverterX). A friend suggested using *Export Object* in MCX. Make sure you are in the mdl window before naming the model. I did that and it showed up perfect in FSX.
 
I nerver try with MCX. I always did that in FSDS.

Good if it works for you.

Yes sometimes MDL show fine in FSDS and MCX but not in FSDS. It appends to me but... I dont remember what I did to solve...!
