Rotated the twin 50 turret on the PBY so that it faced forward. Origin still isnt right (any easy way to figure that out?) Put in the travel limits and PRESTO! The limits are correct, but once again its facing aft. Just to make sure you dont miss the fact that its facing aft, is now rotating around the back of the plane This I am am sure has to do with the origin the other shouldnt...... Is there some reason I like to do things on this wierd little box (computer) that causes me so much frustration???????

Heeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllpppppppppp!!!!!!!!

Didn't we "talked" about this a while ago ??? You need to change the matrix of the parent-object of the gun - see other topic !

LK - This is the first time I have ever tried to put the traverse limits on the gun. The only other gunnery discussion I recall having was giving the pilot guns when he wasnt assigned them in the first place....

Or, I could be in a spiral dive into OpenPlane hell for some past sin..... Ah well...

Snickers,

Since I do 3D full time now, I'm gonna budget my time over the next couple weeks and give you a redone PBY. It'll be proper scale, nicely smoothed, and I'll even cut the glass out for you. I was looking at the pics on your site thinking "I can do much better now."

Hope that's cool with you. You could always just import my new parts when I send it to you to the current SM file you are using, so it won't go to waste.
