• 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.

Hi,

I've almost completed my FSX export plugin for the 3D canvas modelling tool (www.amabilis.com)
I've got it supporting most of the material options in the SDK, but I'm having a little trouble with the animations.

The image below was a test model I did for FS9 a while back (first successful export to FSX)
The ailerons and rudder are animated OK (respond to controls) but seem to be centred hard left.
In FS9 they had 100 key frames with 50 being the centre.

I export the xanim file with key frames 0 to 100, length 100 but does the bias setting in the rudder and aileron sections in modeldef.xml mean I have to add/subtract 50 to the keyframe times?
I could probably work this out though experimentation but I've not got much spare time this week.

FWIW - I found the answer.

The key frames are relative to the original frame orientation or position.
I was using absolute values.
