Hmmm...maybe reusability isn't the most important issue here. While I know that there are many stock devices that are the same in different aircraft, it almost seems that numerically, with the number aircraft we have modeled now, the non-common instruments are (or should be) more frequent. The thing I like about defining clicks per model this way is you can adjust the model position without having to then adjust the click positions, since they are relative to the model. Unfortunately I can't comment on issues like overhead and performance with your technique (those are possible limiting factors), but it does look like an excellent model for a permanent solution. > I would also like to redirect you attention to my post: > > http://baron.flightgear.org/pipermail/flightgear-devel/2004-May/028549.html > > Thanks! > Can anyone confirm that the alias feature can not be used for the 3d animation > code?! I can probably answer your question, but I don't know what you mean by "alias feature". Is that a 2d panel thing? Maybe that answers your question? ;-) Best, Jim _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
