• 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.

Own animations?

Hi all!
I have now animated some parts on my Ercoupe, but now I want to learn how to make own animations.:D
Can someone please tell me how to do that or link to a tutorial?
In the MakeMDL SDK there is a part named "Indicator_Fuel_Quantity" which shows how many percent of fuel you have,
is it possible to create an airspeed-indicator which goes from 0 to 160mp/h by the same way?

How's about that?

Code: 
<Animation name="airspeed_indicator" guid="740c70a6-b530-432f-a7a8-e921b585525e" length="160" type="Sim" typeparam2="airspeed_indicator" typeparam="AutoPlay" />


<PartInfo> 
  <Name>airspeed_indicator</Name>   
  <AnimLength>160</AnimLength>    
   <Animation>   
     <Parameter>   
      <Sim>   
         <Variable>AIRSPEED INDICATED</Variable>   
         <Units>mph</Units>   
         <Scale>1</Scale>   
         <MinValue>0</MinValue>   
         <MaxValue>160</MaxValue>   
      </Sim>   
     </Parameter>   
   </Animation>  
</PartInfo>
 
CAveat - the XML coding given is for FSX, our friend C152 has indicated FS2004, so the syntax will be different.
