RTeading Graham Oxtoby's brief on animating propellers ..:
Quote:A simple animated propeller with transparent discs is created as follows:
First create the propeller part (e.g. vertical tube flattened in Z-direction would suffice as an example) and texture the part. Name it PROP_STILL by selecting the appropriate tag from the AIRCRAFT STOCK ANIMATION tag list. Copy the part and name it PROP_SLOW. This completes the propeller animation.
Well not on my system. All done EXACTLY as stated, axis centred but when I export the model to FS2002 I get a motionless prop.
I also followed his article on animating rudder pedals. He states to form one part comprising 2 pedals & a crossbar. Joined as one & named 'lever_pedals_l_r'
But the part moves as one & not as he states.
I also keep getting DirectX error messages, 'Tell Microsoft' error where the program shuts down & 'Unable to resize part' if I switch from one program back into FSDS.
