Sorry for using English on this one.

I am modelling a vessel in Blender. I want to set up the mesh groups so that I can use Vinka's Spacecraft to fly it in orbiter. Can anyone advise me on what I should be doing to properly set up the animation mesh groups for use in this attempt?

Regards

Starlost

Hello,
You're in the wrong section. You should post here: http://orbiter.dansteph.com/forum/index.php?board=2.0 in French.

Or here: http://orbiter.dansteph.com/forum/index.php?board=6.0 in English.

Here's the link for Vinka's Spacecraft 4 with documentation:

Best regards.

Hello

Sorry for not replying sooner...

Actually, to find the group numbers (and axes, etc.), I use MeshWizard, which is very handy.
If you're interested, I could explain how I do it...

Where did it move to? Seems to have gone into the ether.

Might be better to email me directly. Try starlost@inorbit.com
