Flap animations

Post by Brian Franklin »

Hi Guys, I suspect that this is one for Dave Garwood but I'll ask it publicly in case anyone else can answer it.

I've decided to have a go at MSFS development using Blender but in the animation stage I cannot get any flap related animation to work at all. Other animations seem to be working fine.

I suspect its naming convention as the template I'm using suggests the animation name is Flaps_L_PCT, however looking at the Asobo XML it is using l_flap_percent_key. That said neither work at all! They are not offset by 50 frames like the ailerons, rudder and elevators and the animations play fine in Blender. Any ideas gratefully received

Thanks

Brian

Hi Brian,

I'm using the default flap template, called by:

Code: Select all

<UseTemplate Name="ASOBO_HANDLING_Flaps_Template"/>
The flaps in Blender are animated 0-100 and the animation named "HANDLING_Flaps_L" and "HANDLING_Flaps_R"

Hope that helps.
Dave G.

I assume you've got

Code: Select all

<Include Path="Asobo\Exterior.xml"/>
in your behaviour file as well.

Hi Dave

Yes I have. All the other exterior animations are working which is odd but hey, I'll keep looking
