Canopy open

[C152Flyboy]

Some of my add-on aircraft have the canopy up. How do I close it?

Probably mentioned somewhere in this thread:

basically, comment out the automatic speed section or swap the deply/retract numbers. things seem to work backwards for reason

or switch over to a maunal contorl (ie: animation key)

Wrench, is the manual control animation key user assigned? If so what key do you use (CTL-C)?

[+drdoyo]

A key has to be assigned to the "Animation Key (1-10) =" commands in the controlls setup at the bottom under "Miscellaneous Commands".

 

In the aircraftX_Data.ini the line "InputName=ANIMATION_2" will activate the animation sequence with the keypress assigned to "Animation Key 2" in the games controlls setup.

 

Example of Manual entry.

 

// Canopy Animation ---------------------------------------------

 

[Canopy] <==== MUST be listed as a system in the related aircraft part (ex. Nose)

SystemType=ANIMATION

InputName=ANIMATION_2 <==== Corosponds to the desired animation keypress assignment

DeploymentMethod=MANUAL

AnimationTime=6.0

AnimationID=7 <=== Identification of the animation assigned to that part in MAX, should already be there for auto entries

What he said!!!

 

Actually, I didn't want to be bothered and took The Lazy Mans Way ™ out...just commented out the lines on post-patch installs.

Considering all the work I'd done in '03-'04 trying to figure them out in the first place....sigh....
