Ok, so I have this nice generic fuel pump toggle switch that I made for my
x-100, which has a panel tilted at 15 deg. I want to also use it in my x-200,
which has a panel with a vertical orientation. If I just plug it in, one of
them will have a switch that is off by 15 deg. Now, I can reuse the .ac model,
but I need to rotate it somehow, so I have to create a second .xml file for the
x-200 that has a -15 deg rotation animation in it. Problem with this is a) I
have to create a new fuel-toggle.xml file, b) the x-200 is doing a rotation
transformation every frame that it doesn't have to and c) I would expect to
find
rotation orientation in the same place as the offsets. In other words, all six
degrees of freedom of movement for the model as a whole should be defined in
the
same place.
So being able to define a rotation for instruments in the x-200-model.xml file
instead of the fuel-toggle.xml file would be good. Being smart enough to
recognize that it only needs to be done once is also good, though not nearly as
important.
Got it...I think. AFAIK it is already in the same place as the offsets. From
the 3D modeling howto:
/offsets/x-m
The distance to reposition the model along the x-axis.
/offsets/y-m
The distance to reposition the model along the y-axis.
/offsets/z-m
The distance to reposition the model along the z-axis.
/offsets/heading-deg
The angle by which to rotate the model around the z-axis.
/offsets/roll-deg
The angle by which to rotate the model around the x-axis.
/offsets/pitch-deg
The angle by which to rotate the model around the y-axis.
Best,
Jim

Wait, I recognize this. This was the first thing I tried, and I remember it
only working for the aircraft model, and not for the included instruments. I
will have to go back and try this again, because Fred seems to have it working.
