Just that much closer

My latest version of the floatplane im working on, I exported it and when i started the engine in FS9 i was surprised to see the green prop disc spin like a coin rather than roll

[quote] Ive been having a rough time with cutting out the pieces like the ailerons and rudder, etc.... hopefully someday, she'll meet the virtual sky

[Falcon500]

Say i'm making a aileron, I make the cutout (the operand B) and i use the cut refine tool, convert the new compoung object (the wing) to a mesh, then select the vertices (which automatically highlights the new ones) right click to bring up the menu and select detach as new object.

but then i get the back half of the wing, which i delete all the excess vertices and try to cap it and i end up with weird shapes.

i dunno :-?

[Falcon500]

well now at least i have all three prop disks spining in the same direction, but they rotate  ::)

[pepper_airborne]

Go into the pivot editing mode and expirimentate a bit with rotating that 90 degrees or so in one of the direction to get your prop facing the right way.

[Falcon500]

well new problem, i have the pieces cut out, but the flaps want to roll rather than yaw?  

when i go into the heirarchy and "affect pivot only" both flaps spin any suggestions?

i know ur gonna yell at me for this falc, but whatever happened to that B25 you told me u were making??



MoOoOoOo

[Falcon500]

well moo, im trying to do something with "artistic license" (i can screw this one up completly and yall wont know the difference) but if the flap of a B-25 moves to slowly, id be banished from SimV!



just kidding on the last bit  

I hope  :o

[VF103_Moo]

um k...i'd know the difference cause u'd tell me about eventually... 8-)

[Falcon500]

AHHH!

i dont know, the shape even changes when i move the pivot point!

AHHH!

i dont know, the shape even changes when i move the pivot point!

All you need to do is select the object, go to the heirarchy tab and click the "scale" button. Sorted.
