Animation slats and flaps amx

[miche-viaf]

hi guys, I remade the external model for the amx, so I have a question; flaps and slats working or not in falcon bms? I try to put the dof, translate for slats and rotate and translate for the flaps, but don’t working in the sim, and other thing , the dof for this are LEF or TEF?, beacause if I try with lef I see the flaps in the sim but I don’t see nothing if I put tef , thanks to hall in advance.

GREAT JOB miche-viaf…. more details more realism !!!:blowpar:

Ok, TEF trailing edge flap (trail)
LEF lead edge flap (Lead)
I believe that you should use a dof for the TEF (flaps) in the outside of the flap, it would make the animation translate and rotate at the same time like in the second pic.
The first pic shows the place you would place a dof IF the animation would not require a translation
I hope you can understand that.

LEF = Leading edge flaps, DOF’s 8 & 9
TEF = Trailing edge flaps, DOF’s 28 & 29

thanks pumpyhead and metalhead, but to work the flaps and slats, I linked this with the gear beacause the two elements are used particulary in landing and takeoff, I 'm happy to use flaps and slats in this way , sorry for that.

hello to every body, I have another problem, I have finished to duplicate some parts of the model, but when I put the dofs relatives to the tail hook and the canopy there desappear (the arresting hook and the canopy), I will made a model with the canopy and the arresting hook that working, I stay tuned for a little help, thanks

[PumpyHead]

Make sure that nDOF in the parent file is at least 1+ the number of DOF’s on the model and that nSwitch is 1 + the number of the last switch on the model.
