Animating a AOA Part?

[chmil]

Hello!
I would like to animate a part with AOA Logic! Does anyone know how to do that?
Thanks for any Help!
(FSDS 2, FS2004)

One of our AI modelers has figured out how to do it with the canards of a fighter aircraft. He's a member here I think. I'll try to get him to chime in and explain how he did it.

EDIT: I see you are using FSDS v2, don't know if that will be an issue.

Found I couldn't use A:INCIDENCE ALPHA on an AI plane, it didn't respond to it.

However you can use ALANE PITCH DEGREES

The actual calculation depends on what you are trying to animate.

For example to keep canards level -

Keyframes -
0 - Fully down
50 - level
100 - fully up

(ALANE PITCH DEGREES, degrees) 50 +

Full code (this canard also doubles as an airbrake on landing)

<part>
<name>anim_canards</name>
<animation>
<parameter>
<code>
(A:CENTER WHEEL RPM, grads) 20 &gt;
(A:FLAPS HANDLE PERCENT, percent) 99 &gt;
and
if{ 0 } els{ (ALANE PITCH DEGREES, degrees) 50 + }
</code>
<lag>200</lag>
</parameter>
</animation>
</part>

Just remember - FSDS2 does not support XML coded parts.
