You need to assign different datarefs to animation groups for individual movement.
I don't really understand what you mean with 2- or 3-value animations.

For a simple rudder assembly you need one dataref which outputs a floating point value which gives the deflection in degrees (+/-).

For more complex animations like a hstab which moves with trim and an attached elevator which moves with pitch input you simply put the elevator assembly (the complete anim-group) into the hstab anim-group. You can create really complex mechanical assemblies by nesting animation groups.

Make sure you got the latest datarefs.txt file in the AC3D plugins folder btw....

cheers
