SH-3 Rotors when parked

[+allenjb42 4,114]

I've got Florian's great USN Sea King on my carriers but when they show up parked the rotors aren't folded. Any ideas?

Do the rotors have a fold animation? If so, where they modified as per the March 2012 parameters?

To have the rotor folded i used two animations. Animation 6 is used to exchange the spinner (with static, slow and fast rotor meshes) with a mesh that has separate blades for the folding. Animation 7 now folds those together.

I have not installed SF2NA, so i´m not sure if it´s possible to have two animations used for parked aircraft on the carrier.

SF2 had the option to add a CanopyAnimationID to each crew member and so the rotor is folded on parked helos, but SF2NA has a line "CarrierParkAnimationID=X" in the first part of the Data.ini.

Here is a small update of the LOD and the Data.ini files to have the rotor folded on SF2NA carriers. I cannot test this, although it should work, try it on your own risk.

I can confirm that the SH-3D is now showing up parked with both rotor and tail folded. Thanks for the update, Florian!
