File Name: Animated Kangaroos
File Submitter: broberts542129
File Submitted: 04 Dec 2015
File Category: Objects
X-Plane Version(s): X-Plane 9 & 10This replaces the default Deer files, Deer_Buck.obj and deer_doe.obj
Although Australia has (feral) deer they are rarely found around airstrips. You are however more likely to find kangaroos almost everywhere away from the major cities.
With permission of FlybyGuy, I’ve animated his static 3D kangaroo.
Enjoy

Baz,
Could you explain why you are using a hide/show when you could simply animate the button (in and out) in Blender?
G'day Jim
I could have that for some datarefs however I found that was not always a workable technique and would not always respond appropriately. This was particularly the problem with datarefs with more than off and on positions; 0, 1 & 2.
With the hide technique no-one is the wiser, looks the same and the functionality remained the same.
Hi Jim, hi broberts
Thank you for your replies. The problem with the manipulators I could solve thanks to Jim's advice. However, broberts advice seem to be an eligible alternative. The issue with the rose mode I will check. Not sure, but if Jim is right the problem would be solved.
Again many thanks for your repleis and help.
Best regards
SHJ
SHJ, with the NAV1, NAV2, GPS selection knob I created a narrow horizontal strip in front of the buttons and mapped it to the knob. That makes the knob very distorted horizontally however if I click in the middle I get NAV2 and the button depresses (although it's getting counselling), if I click to the right twice it selects GPS and the button follows NAV2 on the couch.
I made the knob bitmap transparent and the knob position on the panel map transparent also. The strip is invisible and you see the three buttons.
It's not perfect however it works.

G'day SHJ
Maybe you have this sorted however here is how I've implemented a AP with push button switching for a 3D cockpit and you are probably across this anyway.
Placed the buttons on the panel map in PM. The panel map has my preferred image of the AP panel on it.
Found the buttons used in PM and put the bitmaps (a copy) in the correctly created folder ("autopilot") in the cockpit_3D folder of my aircraft.
Deleted the image in the button bitmaps (in cockpit_3D: autopilot) leaving the Alpha using a graphics program. Now the XP buttons are invisible however still function.
In Blender modelled one button, mapped it to the cockpit panel image and duplicated the button, for example the Head button switch (HDG).
Placed one button in the off position and one in the on position so the on position looks like it's pushed into the switch panel.
Used the Hide function on the button object in the off position that it would be hidden if the HDG function (switch) was activated:
ANIM_hide 1.00000000 2.00000000 sim/cockpit2/autopilot/heading_status
and when it's not on the depressed button is hidden using:
ANIM_hide 0.00000000 0.00000000 sim/cockpit2/autopilot/heading_status
Press the button (switch is mapped however invisible) and the button appears to push into the panel.
Here are all my little animations AP switch below.
You can find this in my PA30 Twin Comanche on my website.
Hope this helpsEnjoy,BazANIM_show 0.00000000 1.00000000 sim/cockpit2/radios/actuators/HSI_source_select_pilot

Anybody could help me to solve this scenery problem
in Help!?!

You could edit the apt.dar file using WED. Just open WED and navigate to the package and click open. Import apt.dat file from this airport package. Click on runway listed on right hand side window and click against runway lighting option on the right hand side lower pane. Select level of lighting and export apt.dat file (only). Check Wed manual online for better advice. I've assumed you are editing a custom airport package. If this airport is not custom simply create a custom package. Import and export package. Not apt file only. Btw if you are only editing the apt.dat and exported the apt.dat file only you will need to open the new apt.dat file. Copy the airport data and paste into the original file in custom scenery if it has multiple airports in the original file. I hope this makes sense.
