Re: [Flightgear-devel] MD-11 Animations
I did a check in 3D Studio and it shows that the name of these objects does indeed end with an 'H'. I re-exported the model again but these particular control surfaces still don't move if I refer to them as whateverH in the XML file. So this prompt me to check the actual 3ds file rather than the max file (max file is the actual file that I work with -- a source, so to speak). One look at the object list and I know why we have this missing H problem -- 3ds only allows a name of ten characters, and "Elevator01H" has eleven characters. Sorry for the inconvience.

Strange. I thought they are named Elevator01H, Elevator02H, etc. I will have a check again.

The trimming I used in the last E-mail was referring to the elevator trimming. By the way, how come the spoilers-position-norm and speedbrake-position-norm properties aren't used? What is the difference between the two anyway? Regards, Ampere ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
Re: [Flightgear-devel] MD-11 Animations
Hmm, actually, it's kinda funny. I was originally only confirming your observation that ailerons, flaps and spoilers were animating correcty on a different system. But your question triggered my curiosity, and I decided to explore the 3ds file a litte bit. I found that the objects named Elevator01H through Elevator06H didn't exist in the 3ds file I downloaded. So I changed the object name in the md11.xml file to remove the trailing 'H' and now elevator animation also works on my side. :-) So, you might want to check the names of the elevator objects in your model file. Remember, since I don't have 3d studio on my computer, the only way to examine these files is by dumping them to a console and make use to the standard unix tools (grep, cat, less) to make sense out of them. :-) Well, I hope this gives you a hint at the problem. B.t.w. by "trimming", do you refer to the JSBSim ground trimming procedure? That's fixed on my system now, and should traverse its way into flightgear soon.

Do the elevators and the trim works for you?
