disappearing pilot

Post by robcarrich »

Can anyone help me please with the xml code for the pilot to disappear when the engine is shut down?
What I have come up with is this:
(A:GENERAL ENG RPM:1,RPM) 100 >
It works just fine, a minor miracle in itself as this is the first code I have written that has done anything at all!
but the pilot dose not appear in the aircraft preview window as it should.

Thank you in advance
Robert Richardson

It would depend on the conditions...which could be multiple

Perhaps if it was all power, electrics off, brakes on it might still show.

If you've animated it to be invisible just with engine off....... would it still show?
