ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
All passive aircraft used on offline ai traffic, live traffic or multiplayer for model matching have missing animations. Looking into the model definition using dev mode makes it appear most are not even defined as there is no engine related parameter used at all.
this is especially immersion breaking as we also now have a good variety of helicopters used for matching available which already only behave like small GA aircraft as well as a large variety of propeller driven aircraft. The issue itself also applies to business jets and some passive airliners (N1 not animated) but it’s not as immersion breaking as missing prop/rotor animations.
If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue:
Examples for missing prop animation model behaviors:
- ATR family passive aircraft
- Beechcraft King Air family passive aircraft
- C172 family passive aircraft
- Dash-8 family passive aircraft
Only some airliners like the B737 and A320 family aircraft seem to have working fan animations, on large airliners (like A350 and B787) the animation is also missing.
Missing rotor animation model behaviors example:
- Robinson R44 passive aircraft
Missing door/cargo door related model behaviors
- All passive aircraft I was able to monitor
Missing wheel rotation related model behaviors
- All passive aircraft I was able to monitor
Missing flaps/spoilers related model behaviors
- All passive aircraft I was able to monitor
[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
No mods installed which could alter/overwrite passive aircraft behaviors in these regards
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Always across all LOD levels
