[FIXED] Nose Wheel, Steer and Gear Animation not working in Simulator

[MSFS 2020] Questions & Community Discussions Aircraft

Hello There everyone, I have made a simple wheel rotation and a gear press animation following the MSFS sdk guidelines the keyframes are how they should be 0-100 (360 degree rotation) for Wheel Animation, 0-200 for Steer Animation (360 Degree) and for Gear i have made the animation from 0-200 (0-100 key frames gear is static and its starts compressing from 100-200 keyframes) However using the Asobo center gear template none of these animations work in MSFS. They show up normally how they should in GltfViewer/MCX. And if assign the same anim name and node names in the left gear/wheel animations they start working however they show frozen on the center animations. I am stuck in this issue and have searched alot for the past 5 days but cant find any help. I have attached the code of my xml. Any help in this regard would be great!

For some very wierd reason the same animation works if i assign it to left or right gear/tire template but the same animation is not working in the center tire/gear template as in the code i have attached above. let alone the Steering animation isnt working either.

Ensure that the center gear is exactly x =0. I’ve reported this here already

Hello there, Thank you so much thats a relief seems to have fixed the issue. I am having another issue my exported aircraft loads up and sinks inside the ground when i load the project via editor it loads up fine but if i take off and land for some reason it doesnt detect the gears and does a belly kind of landing scraping on the ground. if i slighty slew up and turn of slew it goes inside ground. Sorry for asking for too much help i am amatuer in aircraft development.

you need to set the contact points and suspension static compression etc. - it’s a black art.
