• 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 Arno,
I just found a part which seems not to be coded.
This is the animation part.
I think to simulate the rotation by making an animation but if for the cells everything looks good, the evolution of the animation does not do this and the image remains on the first cell
Thanks
fpsThe frames per second at which the animation changes textures. For example, a value of 8 means that every eight of a second the animation will advance from one texture cell to the next.FPS=0.00
cycleTwo integers. The first is the location of the first frame of animation on your texture. The code parses your texture from lower left to upper right (horizontally) stepping by the size of the cell. The value of 0 defines the absolute lower left cell of the texture.
The second value is the location of the last frame of animation on your texture. For example, if you specify a texture size of 256 and a cell size of 64, the texture is broken into 16 cells. In this case, a value of 7 defines the cell that is halfway up the texture and all the way to the right. A value of 15 defines the cell that is in the upper right.
For a four-frame animation set texture size to 256 and cell size to 128.
Note In Flight Simulator 2004 only the bottom half of a texture could be used for an animation. This no longer applies, the whole texture can be divided into cells.
Typically a 16 cell animation would be used, using the following layout:
TextureAnimations.jpg
CellStart=0
CellEnd=15
tex size The size of the texture (in pixels) that is used for animation. Textures must be square and their size must be a power of two, for example, 256, 512, or 1024. Larger sizes should be avoided because of the lack of support in graphics cards.TextureSize=256
cell size The size of each frame of animation (for example 64 would mean each cell of the texture is 64 by 64 pixels).CellSize=64




 
Hi,

You are right, that bit of the FX file is not supported in the preview at the moment. Once again a sample animation that uses this will help in adding support for it.

oops excuse me I opened a new position by mistake.
You can reach them if it suits you
