• 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/P3D] Multiple animations export

Hey guys,

have a question regarding animation

I created a few animated paths, on which I ve constrained various vehicles to create traffic; that works fine as expected.

Along with those anims, I also got some static anims, i.e. traffic lights switching red/green, hangar dooes opening/closing etc.. If i export everything into a single file it just doesn't work. As soon as those 'static' anims are removed, then everything appears fine again, any clues??

separate MDL/BGL is not an option since those need to be 'synced'.
 
Hi,

Do all animations have the same amount of keyframes? Else that could maybe lead to trouble, I assume they all use the same type like ambient?
 
Hi Arno,

yes all are 0-12,000 frames, collapsed at 600keys each.
Also, all objects tagged ambient.
 
Do some animations work if you export it all together? What is not working?
 
If all of it is exported, none of the animations work. The models do not even appear properly. For example, I might only get one vehicle appearing at the .BGL ref. point and nothing else.

To test it, I loaded the .BGL into MCX and deleted all materials that were associated to the models with 'static anims', and kept only those models (cars) that were path constrained. Then everything appeared fine again.
 
I have run out of ideas for the moment, difficult to say what's going on.
