[All titles] Aircraft gear

[Voit-Shao]

Is it possible to hide and retract aircraft undercarriage? If not, would it require changes in aircraft models to work?

Maybe I'm wrong here, but isn't there working gear on the vtol? I wonder if something could be done there, but it would require animations for sure.

I meant actual planes and not VTOLs, but thanks for the answer.

Right, what I meant was since we hooked up animations on the vtol it is possible that they try to play on the fixed wing stuff unless the gear always comes down when you switch to hover. I honestly can't remember if that is the case or not.

There are three sets of anims for VTOLs: landed/close to ground with gear dropped, hover and flight. Planes don't have them at all, just wheels sticking out of undercarriage at all times.

I dug into the code, it looks like the vtol will play animations but not other aircraft. You can start an animation from lua though, so if we could get the animation onto the aircraft it would be possible to do it.
