Hi everybody,

I'm currently in the process of getting a source file for an E-3 AWACS. At the moment it does not have a rotating radar dome and I would love to be able to make that spin (preferably at around 1 turn every 10 seconds).

Does anyone know how?

Regards

Scott Wayne

You'll have to work with the tick_18 tag...  However, in the interests of accuracy, you'll probably want a conditional/switchable situation so that when landing/ taking off, it's rotating "slower"  and then speeds up when on station....

Alternate:
the rotating disk is a scenery "beacon"  atop the fuselage.  You'll need a switch to turn it on/off. or conditional to make it a two speed disk.

The scenery beacon tag will work.
