Keep it simple: gear[0], gear[1], gear[2] ...same order as listed in the FDM config. The aircraft configs for different fdm's will have to match each other's order if they want to share a 3Dmodel, but making up unique names, fixing typos, etc won't be an issue. You can optionally put names inside each gear[n] path but that would just be for documentation purposes. Try naming these: http://thomas.grand.free.fr/kz/00air.jpg Lee did it, by numbering them! (with an L or R designation for each side) Best, Jim _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
