• 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.

FS2004 CAT Question

Hi there,

I succeeded to create a 600 frame - path constraint animation in gmax. I did not check the "loop" option, because I want to play one time. I made a NAV2 animation trigger with CAT software to start the animation.

My problem is the following: The animation starts after the proper NAV2 freq. is selected, but the animated object is looping.

I want to start the animation with the NAV2, and stop at the endpoint. What should I do? (My path constraint not endclosed, just a simple straight line.)

Thanks.
 
These are my source files. Can anybody check it what's wrong? Why is it loops forever? The airport is LHNY.

Thanks.

Hi Arno,

I have a post in the forum about my CAT problem. My full story of my project is the following:

I tried the Eaglesoft Cessna Citation X 2.0. There is some airport (I think 5 airports), where there is an animation. The aircraft stop. Nav2 frequency is 117,50, and 3 cars comes close to the aircraft and stop until the freq is 117,50. When the freq is changing, the cars go away, but no on the reverse path. This is my idea to make sg. like this on any airport - in my project at LHNY.

Can You help with this?
Thanks.
 
Hi,

I was away traveling for my work the last days, but good to see you solved it already.
 
Hi Arno,

Yes, I managed to do to stop the animation loop. But I didn't manage to do the to continue the animation to an another path, just reverse - after I switch off from NAV2 112.00 MHz.

What Should I do for continuing the animation, not reverse after switching the NAV freq to other MHz?

Thanks.
 
Hi,

CAT only supports playing the reverse animation when the trigger is no longer valid.

If you want a different animation to be shown in that case, the only solution is to manually tweak the ASM code.
 
Arno,

I didn't manage to do manually...

I attach my train of thought on a picture.

Help me please.

Thanks so much.

Hi,

That kind of animation with a stop is for sure not supported by CAT. technically it should be possible to make it, although I never tried it. It would for sure be quite advanced asm tweaking to get that right.
