Animate Pilot

Does anyone knows about a good tutorial how to animate a pilot in Gmax for FS2004?

Thanks,

Jakes

I don't recall one, but the concept is pretty straight-forward.

I animate pilot's head with tick18_xxx for FS9, or Ambient_xxx for FSX

Frame 0 to frame 1024, head makes a "T scan" of the primary instruments, then makes a scan out the window looking for traffic.

Because I use 1024 frames, I can have the pilot perform up to six scans, each one slightly different so it doesn't look so 'robotic..." :)
