Default Re: Animations...how to keep separate?

Thanks for the help!!

For one thing, I know I don't have a dataref.txt file... didn't think I'd really need it since I'm not exporting to X-file. Maybe if I get one just for AC3D to refer to, that particular function will work (right now, if I even select the dropdown for datarefs I get an error dialog). Then, this might solve the problem of AC3D only "seeing" one animation for all the animation groups.

As for 3-part vs. 2-part animations, there is a distinction in the flight sim I'm working with. A rudder, for example, has three animation detentes: a center (no input) and the full left and right deflections. Another animation, say, a flap, might just have two (full up and full down), or a canopy might only have two (open and closed).
