• 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.

Why is not my animation working in MSFS

Is There anyone that could help me to see what is missing in my testproject for an simple animation
(Just an AC that should have a rotating fan)
I have done it from Fredrico Pinittis tutorial
on Youtube.

All works fine in Blender and also Export works fine. But - and a big But - It is included in MSFS as an Sceneryobject but
no animation :(:(:(:(

In the model xml-file I have included a animation tag with a guid from the Free guid generator. All as Fredrico shows to do.

This tag is below the LODS tags in this modelinfo-xml.

// ********************************************************************//
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ModelInfo guid="{e4fa91f3-0934-429b-bc5d-b87c890ad177}" version="1.1">
<LODS>
<LOD minSize="0" ModelFile="AC-Cond-Anim.gltf"/>
</LODS>

<Animation name="AC_Cond_Fan" guid="{178ed8f9-083a-40fd-861b-7e742fe952c4}" type="Standard" typeParam="Autoplay"/>

</ModelInfo>
// ********************************************************************//


I have three blend-files in the zip.
One with no animation at all. The other have animations.

One is animating and NOT Pushed down from the action editor in the Dopesheet.
One is animation and IS Pushed down to a NLA-track (This is what Fredrico shows in the tutorial).
I have tested this with both Actions and NLA-tracks in the Animation Mode. (attachment is NLA-tracks I think)

Everyone is working fine in Blender but will not spin in blender.
Even the Windows standard 3D viewer is not showing any animation and for me this shows that the problem is
probably in the export from blender and something I have missed there. (This is my first attempt to export an animation )

My version of Blender is 3.6.12 and Asobo-exporter is 1.3.3

Have attached a zip with 3 blend-files, and the only image that is used there as an image.

Hope anyone can help me with this. What have I done wrong? What have I missed?

Greatful for all tips I can have from you.

Hi.
Your animation GUID must not have brackets:
<Animation name="AC_Cond_Fan" guid="178ed8f9-083a-40fd-861b-7e742fe952c4" type="Standard" typeParam="Autoplay"/>
