LandingGear Type

The LandingGear object type is created by ObjectTemplate.Create.

The landing gear system is similar to a RotationalBundle. It allow geometry to be rotate a certain angle at a certain speed. However, the LandingGear type allows the input to be based on engine speed or even height from the ground.

Landing gear is usually created in the Objects.con file and referenced by the engine in the Physics.con file.

Used in a total of 23 .con files: Objects.con

Parent directories of these .con files: objects/Vehicles, Bf1942/Levels

Example: (from objects/Vehicles/Air/Goblin/Objects.con)
