Wheels not extended
-
Hi, I have a custom C-130 lod model that I used to overwrite the standard C-130 (in 4.33.1)
At first I had a problem with the propellors not being visible and back loading door was gone/open.
I fixed this by changing the ndof and nswitch nrs. This got it working. But now I discovered that on the runway the undercarriage is not there when taxiing.
Could somebody give me some direction of what I need to do to get the undercarriage working.
Is it something I should do in LodEditor or is it in the aircaraft.dat file where I should make a change for the wheels?Cheers Obi1

Does the gear DOFs move when you load the LOD into OpenGLLOD.exe?
press “d+20” and click/move mouse to rotate DOF# 20 “Left Gear” for example.In your old AC.dat file “isComplex 0” should be set to “isComplex 1”.
Make sure, gear related stuff has correct values in AC.dat
3 # Num Gear
Gear X, Y, Z, Rng
15.8 0 8.2 100
40.1 -5.9 8.2 100
40.1 5.9 8.2 100Measure X,Y and Z in LE if in doubt.
Rng 100 is the way the gear DOFs travel in degrees, …
a 3D modellers decision, … some use simply 360.Even better use the AC.dat file with is made for the model you want to use.
I hope that helps.

Thanks Lazystone, it was indeed the .dat file that was not up to date. It’s working now.Cheers Obi1
