• 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 certainly have a new appreciation for the sheer amount of work involved with writing script and rigging the animations for a "Large Aircraft" now...

...that I'm working on a "super secret large aircraft" for Eaglesoft, where the center console alone has - wait for this! - 416 animated objects!, every one of which requires unique GUIDs and <Animation> scripts! :yikes:

It sure makes me wonder about my sanity sometimes... :laughing:
 
crazy people never doubt theyre sanity...

how many anims ?..ive just completed 8 anims and number 9 is begining to
exhibit illogical behaviour...advice from you is always perfectly lucid...jim
 
Oh man...! Sounds like you have your work cut out for you. I hope all goes well on it.

400+ animations, lol... EEEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:eek:

Click to expand...

Keep in mind that's just for the center console! The overhead has ~200 more, the side consoles have ~100, and the glareshield console has another ~100 or thereabouts... :yikes:

And people wonder why it takes so long for a "large aircraft" for FSX to be developed. It actually takes as long (or longer) to rig the 3d parts than it does to create the mesh! :rotfl:
