I need some help with the following:

  • Disabling collisions on the landing gear and all parts attached to it.
  • Hiding the base mesh on all rotators.
  • Setting the input of any rotator attached to the landing gear to "LandingGear" - I tried doing it myself, no luck.

Thanks in advance!

    @Deiaa your welcome. If the bomber doesn't have what you need, I'm sure one of my places will.

    @Phenex Guess I'll use your bomber for now then. I suppose I'll give the Overload mod a try sometime, seems it's just way easier with it.
    Thanks again. Upvotes incoming...

    @Deiaa yes, if you want to get you hands into the xml you can open the xml file for the plane in notepad and change the settings, but it harder since you won't know which is which. I've never had problems with overlord and I don't think anyone else has. If you don't want it, download my WWII bomber you can take the parts off of it.

    @Phenex Thanks! It does help, but I have a question: Is downloading a mod really necessary? I'm a purist, so I like to keep my games vanilla whenever possible. The peace of mind when you know you don't have to deal with updating the mod whenever the game updates or having to deal with any potential bugs is something I'm not really willing to give up.
    Would using parts with these properties applied off of other aircraft as sub-assemblies work for that?

    @Deiaa Download overlord mod if you haven't. Select the part you want to change. Click the overlord button. Under the part drop down you change disableaircraftcollisions to true. For the rotators go to the joint rotator drop down and hit the + and type in disableBaseMesh then True. Go to the input drop down and change input to LandingGear. Hope that helps you.
