Gear animation

[Guest jlwoodward]

The main gear on my P39 needs to retract 90 degrees, and then rotate toward the rear several degrees to line it up with the well in the wing. I have done rolling wheels and normal retracting gear, but in this case I am not sure how to approach it. If someone could please give me some hints, I will take it from there. I have AA and SDLedit.Should I wait for the new version of FSDS?Thanks,John Woodward

Hi John With sdl edit, you can make this animation. You will need 2 sets of main landing gears. You put the visible condition from 0 to 50 of movement to retract 90 deg and this part hide at this moment. From this position you will make visible the second set and move it as proper to continue the travel. In my C-141 y have 3 set of Main landing gear to proper animation. The new FSDS will facilitate. this work. Jose
