What do you name rotors?

[BrandonF]

When you name parts in GMax to work correctly in FS, what do you name rotor blades for a helicopter. I've tried "Prop_still_0" for main and "Prop_Still_1" for tail. But the rotor always ends up spinning forward!

I'm assuming that you're modelling for FS2004?

Obviously, you're tagging them correctly, because they're spinning!

Check your axis of rotation in gmax.

FSX actually. They are spinning, but incorrectly. How do I "check the axis of rotation?"  :-?

From what I remember with a similar thing on FS 9 was it was an entry in the CFG that had to be chaged form plus to minus or vice-versa.

Might be similar in FS.X

I don't mean spinning backwards, I mean spinning through the helicopter! They are rotating down forward into the helicopter!

I made sure that the green arrow was selected and is pointing up, but still rotates wierd. Actually, now it rotates sideways! You can tell which way looking at how the rotor is tilted. This is a schweizer 300c.

Props/rotors (top and rear) use tags prop#_still/slow/blurred

The Local Coordinate System must be used to align rotor hub along the Y axis.  See atached.
