You can put the properties pretty much anywhere you like... as you can see I had to use a few properties to make sure that (1) the chute deployment handle and jettison buttons were animated correctly and that (2) the various deployment and jettison actions happened under the right conditions (speed, voltage etc). I'm sure it could be done more cleanly especially now we have property listeners to use. I like sticking that sort of stuff under sim/model these days because that way I know that I'm not inadvertantly messing with any pre-defined properties (and that other things won't mess with mine.) > Perhaps I'll borrow the Lightning's chute.ac model for the F4.

Unfortunately I can't try the flight model since I've long since stopped keeping a working copy of the last release around - fdm=ufo is not much fun :-) Cheers, AJ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
