• 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.

MSFS20 MCX disabling animations on export

Hi,

I had another look and I noticed that your test.fsc object does not have a correct animation type set. Once an ambient animation is specified I get the animation line in the XML file.

I have attached the two glTF files I made, plus a third test object that I used in the past to test animations.

Hi Arno, Success but only with your gltf files. Re ran" test "with the ambient but no line in the xml . I'm using the lastest development release dated 18/03/23. The animation on NWI ssr runs a lot slower that it does in MCX though. Is there a way to speed it up? Ok completed testing now imported your animation file and then exported it, no animation in the xml. So it can only be something in my MCX setup.

Hi Paul,

Do you have the path to the modeldef.xml set correctly in the options? Without that the animations are not exported correctly either. If modeldef.xml can not be found you should get a warning in the event log when you start MCX.

As for the animation speed, you can use the animation scaling option in the exporter settings to change that. Or you could change the key values by editing the animation in the hierarchy editor.
 
I don't think MSFS has that file, so it would be the FSX or P3D one. It's in the SDK.
 
Hi Arno, I think that sorted it. Just double checked the path for modeldef , eventhough it showed a valid path , I had the reselect it for some reason. I now get animation code in the xml. So thank you very much for the help again.
