FSDS3.5 Aileron Animation for FSX

[Claywheeler]

2nd try at same initial thread... I've been working on a couple FSDS3.5 planes for FSX, and I've hit a snag with the aileron animation and I'm hoping that someone can help me with some instruction. I'd contacted Abacus Support and was told that the tutorial in their help file does not apply to angled ailerons and applies only to straight and level ailerons. I tried all of the suggestions they've sent me, but nothing has worked so far and the ailerons come out skewed from the as-built hinge axis, so I'm hoping that someone has their own version of instruction that I can better understand. Thanks a bunch! Clayw... Kissimmee, FL

Clay,

Hopefully someone will pass thru to answer this question.

Meanwhile, you might post it as well over at FFDS in the FSDS forum that gets a lot of traffic.

Hi ClayWheeler,

I found this video tutorial that might be of help to you. I was looking at it the other day and I think you will need to look at the "Animation" video.
Hope this helps and that I have understood your question correctly!

NIce set of video tutorials, but unfortunately, for Max/gmax, not FSDS :(
