Is it easier to create my own SM out of my lods. Because there is one problem. I am replacing the lods on the Triplane, and the whole rudder moves, but on the pfalz only part of the rudder moves. And the vertical stabalizers are split into two pieces. I am thinking of switching to the Albatros for replacing, it looks alot like the Pfalz and has alot of the same elements.

Cool engines, nuff' said.

The way the triplane is set up, the vertstab is the nonmoving part, and the rudder is the moving part. It is probably easiest to start from the albatross, or maybe the SE5a, which is already a biplane, and has Dirk, etc.

I would not staart from a user made plane - you might inherit some bugs! (what, from my planes? heheh)

Just do this, it is easy!

In OPS, just select the invisible fin, now go to the LODS tab, chose to add a LOD.

Now when you use Hippie's extractor to extract the sm file you will get a blank fin LOD. Use this to import your fin.

You can also add new objects by simply copying a small item like a strut, them paste it the object tree where it needs to go. Now rename it (in the names area) Now use extractor like above.

I must have a bad version or something, I get a Illegal Operation when I try to add Lod.
