(I observe that it has no effect on the aerodynamics, or even on the landing.) Minor suggestions: -- The shiny lever, and the knob on the end of the lever, are too big; they would benefit from a scale-down by a factor of 2. -- The down state looks great, about 20 degrees down from horizontal. The up state should be about 20 degrees up from horizontal; right now it look only about horizontal. Tangential remark: I tried doubling the rotation factor and adding an offset in the obvious place in cessna_gear_control.xml ... but whatever is interpreting this file ignores <offset> directives ... you might as well put in a <snort> directive. This seems like a nasty bug that would break a lot of things. I observe this bug using both a recent fgfs binary compiled from cvs, and also on a binary distributed back in may 2006 ... both using a recent cvs data/ tree. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
