• 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.

Trouble with Pivot Axis.

I had this all working before so I know I messed something up or Changed a setting in Blender.

My Rudders are at a forward angle.
I have adjusted the Object Local Axis to the angle I need.

But when I go into start added Keyframe the part Does not rotate along the Axis.
It just "pivot" around the axis point

I have over Parts (ailerons, flaps) working and rotating along one axis but I don't want to mess with them as they are working.

These "new" or modified parts do not work the same way

any idea what I have done?
 
No idea what you've done but in a situation like this I would add a box at the position of the rudder. Rotate it back 10.7 degrees on the X axis and then test it on the Z axis to see if it rotates correctly. If it does then I would merge the rudder into the box and in edit mode I delete the box.

Sometimes in Blender things don't rotate how I expect them to. I don't know if it's a me problem or a Blender problem but rather than waste time trying to figure it out (and failing) I just start again with a new box, check it rotates properly and then merge the old part into the new box and delete the box in edit mode. The old part then takes on the rotation of the new box.
 
What is the value of Transform pivot point ? (the icon just at right of Menu Local which is selected).
It seems to be : "Individual origin" ...
 
It was a user error,caused by working on this project!

I had rotated the local orgin to match the part.
BUT I locked down the X and Y this caused it to rotate only on the Z axis.

It need to be able to move in XYZ to look right

Thanks for trying but sometime I can't be fixed
