Hey guys,

I'm thinking about going into the skies with my next animation and have an AirplaneExt question. Basically, I have an aircraft and when I go into afterburn, I want it's wings to move back (like a variable-sweep wing aircraft does). Can I achieve this by using a combination of the AirplaneExt and say, DirectInputLink or would you have another idea?

That will probably work or you could use a combination of the AirplaneExt and MultiStateMachine.

Ok, but how to set-up so that an input from the AirplaneExt will control a MultiState and/or DirectInput? I don't see any options for this.

I guess you can use the same button for both inputs but the virtual inputs are not available for the after burner, yet. I will inform Luigi, I'm sure he can implement it to the beta version of Airplane Extended.

On the other hand the easiest way to do this is to use the same button you use for the afterburner to also control the DIL

Ah yes. Very simple solution. Thanks Luigi.
