FSDS2 landing gear

Postby Colin_S » Thu Apr 28, 2005 11:01 am

I'm converting my FSDS Pro Me 109E to FSDS2 for CFS2, but the main gears don't appear on the ground. The ac sits properly and takes off and when you hit the G key the gears appear and retract (beautifully!!). They extend as well and vanish at full down.

I know FSDS2 doesn't like  .mirror filenames so I've renamed or replaced them. What have I missed? Should I just delete the entire gears and build fresh ones?

Do they, by chance, have a pre-process attached?

When compiling into CFS2 did you select CFS2 as preferences in the File - Preferences "Flight Sim Version" or did you leave it as an FS2000 model? or FS2002 model?

On target, Felix, or very close

Went to Part Properties for l_gear, nothing in the pre-process box, but left-clicked in it then hit the Del button. The gear shot out of the wing leading edge and ended up level with the prop. Went into Anim, cleared all key frames and it came back. Saved, reset key frames 200-101-100-0 with the same rotations as before, did same for r_gear and tested in CFS2, all shows up now.

Many thanks
