Animation drage chute proble

[GKABS]

Hello,

I have been making a drag chute all the time, and it works fine for me using the resize modifier with all the jet models, and it works perfectly, but I am trying to add it to the A-4 Skyhawk as a weapon station, and it doesn't change size 

Any idea or suggestion would be really helpful.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Is this a stock A-4 and would that make any difference? What INIs did you change on the jets that work and is there a significant difference in the A-4 INIs. 

I'm just looking at this as an IT software tech support issue and the first thing I always checked is basic differences in configurations. 

It sure looks like the sim at least recognized the 3D object definition. What INI parms are used to determine object location and size?

I'm assuming you don't want it to show up without some sort of animation trigger? 

I am NOT a 3D guy :(. Just brainstorming...............................

I think that little parachute is very cute!!! (sorry, couldn't resist!!)

Not being a 3d guy, would it be a scaling issue, due to it being added as a 'weapon', as oppsed to building it directly in the aircraft model???

Are you sure you did not use resize on the vertex before? Do not remember now, but I can check on the weekend when I will be with my modeling PC... 

I did something similar for someone here (Stratos?) on MiG-21...

 

ah... but I think It will not work as a weapon station...It must be defined as airbrake...or separate animation on Shift+ something key

@Coupi did the data file, and it's based on the Stoke model. It works with YAP chute, but not mine. It get deployed by Ctrl +O

I just saved the chute form my Typhoon as 3d max file and changed the animation 90-100 to slot 1-10

Yes i think it should be as airbrake. If any one can give me a like to a model that I can see how it is done that will be great.

so after ctrl+O it opens as bombay? in YAP?

If it pops from the ass and does not get bigger, it means it is an animation issue..

yes I know how it sounds,

The animation is as listed at the top with the two screenshots.

If I want to set it up as an airbrake, what should I add to the data file? If you can send me a link to a model with a chute, that would be great. By the way, the chute in the LOD viewer works well, no problem.
