It didn't help me, but perhaps it will lead you to the right path. "/controls/engines/engine/magneto" is the same property as "/controls/engines/engine[0]/magneto" and "/controls/engines/engine[0]/magneto[0]" That is, the subscript [0] is the same as no subscript. The command line property tree doesn't understand "true" and "false" use 1 and 0 instead. SenecaII uses three settings for each engine's magnetos: --prop:/controls/engines/engine[0]/magneto[0]=1 \ --prop:/controls/engines/engine[0]/magneto[1]=1 \ --prop:/controls/engines/engine[0]/magnetos=3 \ \ --prop:/controls/engines/engine[1]/magneto[0]=1 \ --prop:/controls/engines/engine[1]/magneto[1]=1 \ --prop:/controls/engines/engine[1]/magnetos=3 Good luck, Ron ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
