I'm seeing this was moved here & guessing you are referring to an aircraft you downloaded?

If so
1. I have never heard of a GMax designed aircraft without rotating props .. (what file is that?)

2. Animations are made by the designer in the original design (source file) using GMax itself.

I'm also guessing this thread will not progress beyond this ....

I am thinking he might be referring to creating the animation within GMAX.

a gMax designed aircraft without rotating props could be a jet or rocket.... :)

And I thought I was the cynical one.

Thanks very much for your answer. I have copied the post and your explanation to a third person. It's a bit more complicated than I imagined, but I'm sure I can manage. If not, please help further in time to come.  When finished, I'll show you the product.
(maybe the gmax animator may even help in speeding up and slowing down of the prop, I'll see.
Again, thanks!!  ;) :D
