• 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.

Animating a magneto switch in FSDS 3.5 for FSX

I'm learning a lot about animations in FSDS these days, and most of these work like a charm. But now i'm stuck with this one: animating a magneto switch in FSDS 3.5 for FSX? Has anyone here done that succesfully?
I want to program the following: off- mag1- mag2- both. I have another button for the starter ( and that one works!). I modelled the one as seen in the attachment.

I hope someone here can help me!

Well, I got it animated (in part) but it is quirky! I tried to animate it in four stages: off- mag1- mag2- both, with three intervals. I used the 'switch_ignition_magnetos_trimotor' tag and animated at frs. 0, 25, 50 and 75. I used these rotations: -45, -15, 15 and 45. But! There is only movement between the frames 25 and 50 and it moves from the off-position to the both-position. So I have -off- off- both- both- instead of -off- mag1- mag2- both-. I've got the feeling that I'm missing something obvious, but I can't figure out what.:eek:

I sure hope someone here can help me!
