Ok, now that we can launch vehicles (aircraft are vehicles, arent they?) how do we get the engine to turn on once I launch it? I want the V-1 engine to turn on so it can glide farther (it glides pretty well, but I want more!) Any ideas\suggestions?
MH, is this possible?

This really should be in the openplane tech setion....

If you are detaching the vehicle using obDetach or some such, you could have an onDetach property that sends an inpSetEngineState command to the vehicle.

that command should look like:

(inpSetEngineState 0 1)

the first zero means send the command to all engines, the 1 means turn them on.

You can also send a command which will turn the engines to full throttle by:

(inpThrottleAnalog 0 1)

The first zero is again, all engines and the one means go full throttle (0.5 would be half throttle).

MH, I cannot get this working. Help me please. What I did was go to obDetach, right click on it, clicked on Append and typed in under Name exactly what you said to, both properties. Am I doing this wrong?

Hmm, does this stuff really work? I've tried it before with the cmdXXX to activate a DOF, but I couldn't get it to work. Hopefully I just did it incorrectly :-)
