I'm working with FSDS2, and I'm allowed to name a part with the label of stock animations, keyframe animations...etc. There is an option for aircraft endcaps. Cool, too bad I have no clue what they are or how they can be used.

I did a search and found no, nothing, none, zero, zip, zilch as far as "endcap" entries.

Could someone explain?

Thanks,

Joe

They both will work perfectly, until you open windows.

Endcaps are used for damage modelling and wingfolds.

A damage endcap would be set to show up only when a part had come off due to damage. Wingfold endcaps show when the wing is folded.

If you look at tutorials for damage modelling in CFS 2 or 3 you should find the basics.
