Hi all,

I've been following mrys's excellent guide found here (http://www.military-meshes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2232). I was going about trying to animate the propeller, and it seemed I had got to that point, but now I'm stuck in a rut. As long as the plane does not rotate while it moves, the propeller continues to animate properly, however when I rotate the plane, the propeller continues to rotate around its local y axis, not taking into account that the entire plane rotated , causing the propeller to rotate into the rest of the mesh. I hope I made that as clear as possible. Thanks.

Welcome to MilMesh.

From the sounds of it you need to link the prop to the airplane and then use a local XYZ kind of rotation transform.

What software you use? Blender?
