You can still add your own reset functions of course, accessible from a dialogue box or menu (as the Lightning has).
Multiplayer is another thing altogether I'm afraid... making chutes display correctly (or even display at all) would require standardisation on several properties for chutes, and would be a lot more work on each model. I'd like to see it happen of course and I hope it will, but don't have the time to make that happen just now :-\ The controls wrapper by contrast is easy and quick to add to your model. > I'd suggest making a small page on the Wiki (in the aircraft > development section) so this information doesn't get lost in the list > archives. At the moment, I think all our models with braking chutes are by people who follow this list and there aren't too many of them. The general principle of controls wrappers and how to override them is definitely worthy of an article though...
