• 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.

Hey ronh do you know what could be causing the animation assign list (under Animation Tools tab) to not show up at all? I'm not sure why but the list isn't visible.

Another possibility is maybe the ModelDef.xml is corrupt? Never have seen this before.

EDIT: maybe trying to manually locate the ModelDef.xml
 
I tried initializing the toolset with the default cube; list didn't show up. I manually located the ModelDef.xml on both my Greenhorn project and the default cube; still didn't work. I'm thinking ModelDef.xml might be corrupt or something as Pyscen suggested.
 
Did you make edits to the modeldef file? Do you have the original you can replace it with temporarily?

I'm not sure. Ronh made some edits so Blender2FSX can recognize the P3D SDK in the FSX:SE location (since I'm on FSX:SE). I can try switching the current ModelDef.xml with the old one.

Sorry about the late response...

That's one possibility,... You might be able to use the one that is in your SDK that came with your FSX:SE. Just copy it over to the P3D SDK v1.4 folder where the original is. Make sure to not manually point it to the old one though... copy it over on to the P3D SDK v1.4.

Another idea is to try right-clicking on the Blender icon and go to 'Properties' (bottom of the popup window). After that, click on the "Compatibility" tab (see picture). Duplicate what you see on the picture to yours. After you have match the picture with yours. Click on 'Apply" and then 'OK'. Try to see if you get the List afterwards.

No not quite correct. I made changes that allow you to use the P3D v1.4 SDK. You have to install that first. Nothing to do with the FSX:SE version. I don't think there is a proper SDK for FSX:SE. It should be installed as a separate folder. Don't try to install it in FSX:SE. There are registry keys that get setup. The blender scripts use the registry keys to locate the SDK you select from the tabs.
 
Hey guys thanks a lot for helping me solve my Blender issues! From the initialize toolset/SDK directory issue to my animations list not showing up, which shows up now, after I just updated Blender to the latest version. :)
