F-106 auto-opening weapons bay

[Sheriff__001 0]

I've been trying to modify the Data.ini for Column5's F-106A Delta Dart to get the weapon bay to open automatically on firing the missiles (as in the F-102A, and the concealed missiles on the F-101B). I have managed to get this to work for the AIR-2 Genie pylon, but not for the Falcons. Manual opening on the weapon bay still works.

 

Here is the relevant text from the modified data.ini

As You can see all this bays have the same animation number - BombBayAnimationID=7 - It's a 3D model limitation. To make automatic dors work all this bay station from data.ini file must have different animation. You can't fix it. Only 3D model rebuilt can make bays automatic.
