tma

Hello, everyone. I want to know what the configuration of the animation file ".tma" is. After understanding it, I found that this file was exported and generated by 3dsmax. Now the export plug-in is so old that I made an error during installation. So I copied the tsc file that could be modified and turned to the code shared by some users before in the forum. I modified the text and changed the suffix to .tma and converted it with a converter, but it showed that the animation file was invalid. Maybe my configuration was wrong. I hope someone can answer for me.

To my knowledge the tma animation file is used for scenery ground animations but I never had to deal with them myself so I don't actually know how to convert them. I'm guessing that the scenery converter can convert it and it can be loaded with the airport tsc.

Yes, I want to create some movable objects, such as vehicle traffic. I have downloaded some such plug-ins on the website before. They are all driven by .tma, so I want to try to make a .tma file by myself.

I successfully created the animation file using 3dsmax, but I have no idea how to reference it using TSC. Does anyone know where the configuration file is?

I would always design this as a POI and for that you need a TSL. I attach an empty example.

For an AIRPORT, you need a TSC instead of the TSL, where the element is identical.

Thank you very much I will try this

Now the animated can work perfect

Is it possible to create a .tma file without 3ds Max? Like with Blender. Because as far as I know for 3ds Max one has to pay.

Because if possible I would also like to add animated elements to my sceneries.

I used the 2017 version. I didn't purchase it; instead, I had a 30-day trial. Since the latest version of the export plugin only supports 2017, I used the 2017 version. Currently, the animation is working properly.
