If you are not the original aircraft author and do not know which parts to enter, or how they are named, use the other animations tags object names which indicate the pieces you require to be reflected (such as <object-name>fuselage</object-name> is an obvious one). Obviously do not enter things which you don't want to be reflected! | ||
