Hi, just for clarification: The leading slash has no influence, if a property if transferred over the MP-protocol (that is a hard-coded list). But if you use an absolute path instead of a relative, then the animation depends only on the absolute path, even if the model is a MP-aircraft. If the players-aircraft has the same property defined as the MP-aircraft is referencing (e.g. the player uses the same aircraft), than the MP-aircraft will show the same animations as the players aircraft. This is valid for every animation, not only elevator and gear. Therefore every aircraft should do relative references to the property wherever it is possible.
