gmax landing gear (gears.gmax) file for studying!

**faosfx** · 01-09-2004, 12:14 AM

I have modeled a set of landing gears for those who want to know how it all works. I tried to upload it to the forum but was unable too. So if you need it just e-mail me with the subject gmax gears and ill foward with attachment of gears.gmax file which is about 420kb. Feel free to ask questions here if you have any! =)

I've included a couple of pictures of what the set of landing gears look like bellow. They are fully animated! The wheel wells are in there too! Except for the nose gear.

I know you guys are going to ask me how I did it. The visual model is what the beginngers are learning the rest is actually another learning curve of how to actually link parts of the gear together and animate them and name them properly so that they work correctly in FS, again feel free to ask questions. I can explain a couple of things also if anyone likes.

Oh yeah, my e-mail is faosmail@yahoo.com and yes those are 757 landing gears ;-)

It's nice of you to do that. At the Freeflight Design Shop's libraries we have basic gmax landing gear tutorial.

By separate e-mail I'm going to ask you to send it to me to upload it there as well. I do'nt consider it a "duplication" but rather an additional example.
