• 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.

Gmax Animation Manager / Groups

I'd like to start learning how to manipulate code for different animations needed in my model. In Gamx/Animation Manager on the left, there are "Groups"

ALL
Group Tests
Carrier Specific
EH-101 Specific

How would I go about creating a Group, GUID specific and visible when I open the Animation Manager for my animation codes that I adjust and/or use?

I would also like to have a section in the modeldef.xml for those animations so they can easily be found in one place rather than scattered throughout the list.

Hopefully my explanation makes sense and someone can assist me in my wishes.
 
Thanks HS for pointing me to the topic. I tried searching, my terms were definitely wrong as/to why nothing was found.

After studying in your linked topic I eventually picked up on what needed to be done. My thanks go out to Bill, Bill and Daniel for the help I was needing. Very helpful.

My creating the "Group" was not as simple as it looks. It took a close study to show my "Group". Several times when opening the modeldef.xml it basically crashed (Failed to load modeldef.xml. Please close the tool and try again) due to a "missing" space between the " guid. <AnimationGroup name="GroupTests" guid="0xB331C7EF,0xE2BA4276,0x84C433B2,0xBA9781B2">

Once corrected the "Group" popped right in. Now for adding in the animation.
