I cannot get my props to work after exporting to fs02. I have named them prop0_still (not animated of course), Prop0_slow (animated. 1 rev from 0 to 100), prop0_blurred (animated). first time nothing showed but the still version. then all 3 showed all the time (but not animated until I shut the engine down .then slow version would animate as it shut down). To top it off, Props seem to be overlooked in any tutorial I can find. I need HELP!!!

Well, for the props, you aren't supposed to do keyframe animations. As long as the names are correct, it will spin. If it spins along the wrong axis, you just rotate the pivot around.

the prop0_still, _slow, _blurred tags are stock animations, so you DO NOT need to key frame them.

Props are generally overlooked since all you do is make the part - texture it and tag it correctly.

Try simply NOT animating the _slow and _blurred parts
