hi all  I need to put a landing light on my Boeing AH-64 Apache Longbow. now theres no probs building the directional light into the model, and of course the model has wheels. however its alias with the bell206B when exported to the MDL. Also this leaves with another prob. How to i tell the cfg that the model has wheels, and not skids.  any help will be all help.

cheers

Contact points is where you change the input in the Aircraft CFG. Just read the CFG it tells you what values need to be to be recognized. This is from the 206 CFG. If your modelling in Gmax use an unconverted box to measure out your contact points. Take alook at this thread. The 3 is the contact point type and should not have the (----) just for direction
