Is there any way to start and stop Tick18 animations or will they simply loop regardless?

Thanks.


Kev

Ah.  OK, thanks Edge.

I understand that there are extra animation posibilities with FS9 but I don't have that sim.

I managed to achieve what I wanted but have decided that the animation just isn't smooth enough.

Many animations can be controlled by editing the ASM file and inserting conditions based on variables, then recompiling the model. No switch is needed. It basically is determined by what you want to/ can have the animation controlled by and if that variable is accessible. This does require an understanding of assembly language and its commands and may require two copies of the same part. One having the actual animation and the other one static. Then an "if" logic statement is inserted so that if one condition is met the part  that is animated is displayed and if the condition is not met the non-animated part is displayed. Some scenery and aircraft folks have been doing a lot of this.
