• 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.

Key Frame animation

In FSDS 3.5.1 Part Names, there are 7 choices for "Ambient" listed in Keyframe animation. Can someone explain the significance of those choices? Let's say I have 3 parts on the same model that I want to animate using an Ambient part name. Does each part require a separate name. Ambient, Ambient1, Ambient2?

Yes!
Animation names refer to types of animation in FSX. Ambient seems to be a standard FSX animation. For my models I always use Ambient type of animation with names like Ambient1, Ambient2, Ambient3 etc. Other names refer to special animations, like c_gear.

If I may suggest............... Just found out from my guru :))) That it is ok to use one ambient. However, let us say you want one animation to turn this way but the other turn THAT way then you would use abient2, etc for that second one. bob
