Right click on the Key Mode Toggle icon next to the Animation button.
Under the Animation section, change the the length to 200.

Other question :

My plane has a steerable nose gear.I tried with "c_wheelsteer"(stock anim) and "c_wheel" (keyframe anim) but they don't work.I worked in FSDS before,and there this partnames worked well.Any Idea?

for the c_wheel - remember, per the SDK: Quote:
Key 100 = 0 Degrees, Key 200 = 360 Degrees Clockwise

Unlike using a rudder element, if you are using the c_wheel animation, your aircraft must be moving forward for it to work.

Also, did you set up the contact point (steering angle) for a steerable wheel?

[contact_points]
point.0=1, 11.558, 0.000, -5.792, 1575, 0, 0.661,
35.000
, 0.486, 2.000, 0.900, 4.000, 4.000, 0, 250.000, 250.000

I use only c_wheel ( no rudder ).The wheel isn't steerable when the the plane moving.I used Baron's aircraft.cfg file,without modification,so I think it would work,but I will look for it when I get home Smiley Thanks

Have to be the contact point exactly under the c_tire?

Yes. From experience, place the contacts of all wheels directly under the wheels themselves. Otherwise, the aircraft might sink.

Uhhhhhh . . . not sure on the lines and slashes there, 2242.  Why don't you take a screenshot of the thing in Gmax and we'll see what we can do about it.

As for the texturing, check my signature.  There are several handy links in there for designers. (hope they aren't dead Roll Eyes)

Allright, first off press Ctrl+N to open up a new window.  Use THAT window to follow these instructions:

At the TOP of the page, just below the banner, is a set of small blue line with some links in it.  One of these links reads "Upload Images" (between "Site Search" and "Help & Support").  Click there.

Read all the stuff the new window tells you.  MAKE SURE THE SIZE IS CORRECT!  Otherwise the mods will rip it off the site and you will be chastised.  Make sure the image is JPEG or JPG, otherwise it won't work.

Scroll to the bottom of that page and click "Browse" next to "File 1".  This will allow you to go through your computer and find the correct file you want to post.  You can upload up to 8 images at a time.  REMEMBER what name you call your file.  Make sure it is very unique, like cieinvin445nisnd.jpg, or you might end up with someone else's image in there.

When you have all the images you want ready, click "Upload File(s)!" at the bottom of the screen.  A new screen will appear.  Look for the text "http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/yourpic.jpg" and copy it.  You will need this in a minute.

Start a response to this post.  In it, whenever you need to add an image, click on the little button next to "Add YABBC tags" above the response window that looks like a little picture.  (Hold your mouse cursor over the buttons and they should tell you what they all do).

It will get you this: (img)(/img) with brackets instead of parentheses.

Click between (img) and (/img).  Now, remember that little address you copied?  Here's where you need it.  Paste the address into the space between those brackets.  Now delete ONLY the words "yourpic" from the address and replace them with the name of your image that was uploaded to the server.

That should do it!  Just click "Post" and the pic should show up in the response.

Good Flying,

Locke
