Starting off with a static is good as it's simple for a beginner to make and import.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Well for me it's 3ds max as I've been using it since 2002 (G-max with MSFS). 

 

With max the plugins are supported by Ed.

With Blender the plugins are supported by the community.

in 3ds max set arg based position . add event set arg value 8 (which is for wheel rotation in dcs) set active . then set animation layer time 0 to 1 . press auto key animation time line to 1 and rotating the wheel to 360 deg time line back to 0 press auto key and press play button wheel is rotating ,it can be done separate wheels only front both and back both ....this animated in 3ds max but after export to edm is not working in game and model viewer .

Why not use arg based rotation for the wheel instead?

 

Also, you need some more keys inbetween. Animating with two keys only at 0 and 1 causes issue, best is to add some more like every 1/3 rotation or like that.

Time is -100 > +100 with an FPS of 100

 

0 > 100 is normal animation

 press auto key animation > Move slider to 25 rotate the wheel 1/3 press set key. repeat for 50 > 70 > 100

Use four steps, zero to 100, 90 deg each.

For example, 25, 90 deg, 50, another 90 deg etc.

If you double the deg's, the wheel will spin faster, twice normal.

This works well for Helicopter tail rotors, which may spin faster than the main.

Hope this helps! Cheers!
