ok I made the adjustment to the FS9 cfg and wolla

! I got animation working now. But in the process of resolving that problem another couple arised! Take note in image 1.
1. The canopy disappears instead of closing like you said. :-/
2. The engine nozzles disappear as well ???
3. The flaps weren't working with the engines off, but when I turned them on the flaps started working (image 2) ;D


Bottom line is how do you take flight in a plane with no canopy or engines! I see you masked that issue in your pictures! I take it you haven't figured this one out either! :-/ Its a real shame :-[ This is such a nice looking plane.
All it needed was some afterburner effects and a better looking 2D and VR cockpit display. But right now it needs some compatibilities fixes before it can join my active hanger ;)! For now she will be sitting in the dark corner of the experimental aircraft hanger next to the all too well known I3D Team Rockwell B1B Lancer

!
A real shame :'(
