• 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.

I got your zip and I will give the results after triple-checking everything. I haven't been very organized with my responses. Till now, hopefully.

Bambi, I unzipped your FSXanimation.ms zip file , and it looks like mine.

It has an open gap between the create and delete buttons showing the Window underneath and was created on 1/25/2007 at 10:15. So was mine.

I looked at an earlier post by JTanabodee

http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/animation-does-not-export.20241/

and he has definitely got a different version, or at least the GUI is displaying differently. There is no gap visible in his post between the create and delete buttons on his jpg.

The Create button is the subject of specific complaints on SIM_OUTHOUSE as well as here. Here's one from LennartA from Sweden.

http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/export-an-animation.133797/

I decided to look very carefully at the area around the Create Button on the defective RHS Image2.jpg.

Notice the side by side comparison proving there are 2 versions floating around and (VERY INTERESTING) the one on the defective RHS has the Create and Delete Buttons OVERLAYING the Window that lists AMBIENT or other animations.

The Create Button and the listing Window are taking up the same coordinates.

To make the case even stronger, you CAN actually make the Create Button work (sometimes) by very carefully clicking on the only part of the Create Button at the bottom LHS that is NOT overlaying the Window.

It takes a lot of patience. I'm sure many people have long since thrown up their hands and gave up.

I'm going to try changing the MS file and separate the Create and Delete Buttons from the Underlying
Display Window.

I dont have a gap there

What for Monitor Resolution have you ?
I have 1920 x 1080

Maybe your Monitor Resolution is too low for this Menue.

Here is the FIX for people who have a gap between Create and Delete..edit the Animation script to reduce the windows as shown below. Then, restart your system.

Bambi, in the process of editing my MS File, I found that I had to restart my system and only then my editing would work. When I unzipped your file and loaded it into the script folder
I didn't realize I needed to restart my system, so I was looking at my old script, thinking it was yours.

The numbers are the new heights of the three listboxes. :teacher:

This cleans up a very sloppy Microsoft job that IMOP, wasted many many hours of many many people tearing their hair out at 3 AM. Or later.:banghead:
