    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Tracker as scenery with folded wings...

For one of the versions of the Doorman I'm building, I need a Tracker with folded wings that I can add as a library object to the ship. The problem I encounter is that the model I intended to use is too complex and I can't get the wings to fold with SAMM.
Does anyone here have an idea or a workaround to get these wings folded?

Have you tried to do it with MCX? In MCX you will have more options to freeze animated parts in any position you want than you have with SAMM.
 
Yes, you need to be in the Animation Editor, select the animation you want to freeze. Then move the Animation Editor - Animation Control slider to the key frame where you want to freeze the parts. Then click the "Fix selected Animations" button. Repeat the process for other parts - animations you want to freeze.

BTW: Before you export the model as static, you need to align the wheels with the surface by adjusting pitch and Z-Axis (flyable models which are exported as statics will sit partially below the surface if you do not adjust them). I find this task easier if you switch to the left or right side camera view.
