oh, right i don't mean we must keep the landing gear up. (or down permanently) that MP animation is necessary. Going further on the landing gear animation (we could have the same request with some other aircraft component if the aircraft is highly details), i make the difference between Landing gear UP/DOWN animation, and compression animations. Compression animation is costly and not very useful to be seen in an MP environment, so it could be only seen on the user/pilot side. This is an example. -- Gérard ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
