To prevent objects like this instrument being drawn when the aircraft is actually too far away for them to be seen anyway we use a Level Of Detail section (a "range" "animation".) Notice the <pre><!-- --></pre> section; this is a comment, feel free to add them where you need a reminder of what's going on. | To prevent objects like this instrument being drawn when the aircraft is actually too far away for them to be seen anyway we use a Level Of Detail section (a "range" "animation".)

Now, if you've managed to stay with us the whole way through, the file should look something like this one, which you can download and compare with. [[Media:itt.xml]] Notice that under each new opening xml tag (such as <animation>) the text is indented one more level. Sensible people(!) use one tab to indent each level, others try to use various numbers of spaces to indent; whatever you use, the single most important thing is to be consistent. Consistent indentation makes the file much easier to read. | Now, if you've managed to stay with us the whole way through, the file should look something like this one, which you can download and compare with.
