• 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.

[Fsx] Animation and shadows?

Tonight I am playing a bit with animations and I got my hangar doors to animate properly in FsX, but when I look at the shadow of the object I see something strange. The animation is the shadow is delayed compared to the object itself. So in the shadow the door seems to open a few seconds later. Has anybody else seen this?
 
Yes, saw this on my wind turbine. I added more keys and the delay dissappeared.
 
OK, I should have thought a little before posting this, I found the answer already. I was using the default ambient animation, but that has a Random start parameter. This caused the offset between the object and the shadow. I have now made a new animation int he modeldef.xml file without the Random parameter and the shadow is not displayed correctly.
