Simviation Forums

OK

In Gmax I am creating an aircraft model.  Everything was going well animation-wise but I have a problem with the flaps.  I have named the flap parts R_Flap and L_Flap and when I export them to FS2004 they move, but in the wrong direction - eg fully extending the flaps extends them upwards not down as I would wish.  I have ensured the pivots are at the front of the flaps.

Any ideas

I believe you'll need to rotate the pivot point on the longitudinal axis 180 degrees.. i.e. .. the pivot axis that runs along the "hinge" needs to be pointing the other direction.

Rotate the pivot point - why didn't I think of that???  ;D

Thanks very much - all sorted now - what a wonderful thing these forums are!

Cheers again Brett
