AJ is well know is difficult to configure modeldef.xml in gmax exportation ,FIRST of all you have to make sure you are exporting well in FSX-SDK and make an mdl ,trust me even some of the oldest designers  still have trouble in this..

You can test it by exporting a box and see if this mdl have a size ,or you can even test it in FSX, before you proceed..

you need to select the already animated part and then open the fs tool/Animation tool,.. select the animation and frame time , in a prop is 0-100 ,

The prop has to be animated before this a 360 degree turn , THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT:once you create the 360 move of the propeler you need to In animation parameters position ,rotation scale ,every 10

from 0 to 100

is 0-10-20-30-40-50-60-80-90-100 in all you need to mark  position ,rotation and scale  otherwise wont work ,you need to do this with the tires as well

once you have this animation this is what you will do as I said above open the animation manager and create this animation log ..

all animation before export have to be made in Animation Manager this is the great of FSX-SDK ...

If Fstools doesn't show in the bar menu go to Maxcript/Runscript/ and click on FSToolsMenu.ms

Ok, I took a look and I'm not clear when you say " mark  position ,rotation and scale" in the animation parameters. Are you talking about in the animation toolbar/wiring parameters, or somewhere else?

aj

I understand! I read about what you showed, but I think it was in the FS9 SDK. I was thinking it was another parameter I wasn't aware of, but now that you explained it, it makes perfect sense! I'll get back to you with the results!!


AJ

Sorry Aj..I' being having a headache for almost 24 hours (migrain) ,Sorry about the delay...

Now lets see , After you make the animation did you do this?




This is something very important you have to assing an visibility attach point to this and and the rest of the proppeles Slow,still & ,Blurred Otherwise won't work

here like this

     

this has to be made also for the tires ,and I forgot to tell you this!!

Only Propelers or jetengines and tires in all stages Prop, blurry,still   requires an attach point visibility otherwise wont work



.. were gonna make you prop works fine at all cost buddy 

waiting your reply..

The Deal is for you to learn ,although if you want let me see that file ,the problem is if you zip it ,None of the emails are allowing to send  zip and rar files ,you need just to send me the gmax file and the *.air and the aircraft.cfg  file you using  to put YOUR work here and see what's going on..

Ok, Files just been sent. I don't have a problem with figuring things out, hell, I taught myself  how to design scenery ect. Just can't seem to get past this one. I know it is something real small that I'm missing. Thanks for your time on this.


BTW: You might want to go back and edit out you email address now.  I posted mine once, and ended up with tons of spam. Just a thought!

My friend, I have spend all afternoon in your chopper because I never make a choper before and I don't even know how they works in gmax and in real life ..

First the command for animation is NOT Prop0 here is Rotor_slow, still, blurred  for both,

second you going to have a to investigate a lot about FSX and how to apply new FSX materials ,

third this doesn't works anymore as makemdl9 with group mades

[interior] and [exterior] doesn't apply here , you have to create another session to make the VC

Also YOU NEED TO CREATE THE ANIMATIONS ..this is not like the makemdl9 (fs9) like you put the word "Tire ,rudder, prop0, and they move in Fs2004 by themselves  ,No ,all animation here in FSX-SDK you have to make them ,the tires etc...

A lot of manything you have to learn ,I'm sending you Back the chopper with the 2 rotors animations  except the still and slow from the rotor tail you need to make this part again ..also this gmax file is huge  I don't know why its 7mb , instead my latest release the citation 500 with both pilots and all done were 4mb

somethings is strange here everytime I export this came out ..this is not Good neither





I'm sending you Back the Gmax file ,take Notice of what I did in the animation ..I did have my issues because I did not know anything of making choopers ,and also in airplanes Jet engines are N1_0 , in propeler airplanes are Prop0 , In Choopers Its Rotor (still, slow_blurred too)

Here is working fine I did have to put a material and I didn't touch your UWVmap So all you have to do its set your paint back ,no need to go to UVW again just drop it there and replace the material



     

That's all I can help you, and check your email..I hope all my afternoon worth it please
