That's really cool - what modeller are you using to get that effect? Is it suing plugins for the program or some other method?

I found a method to export animations from blender by saving each frame of an animation in a batch of .obj files and I made an animation script that loops through the animation. Basically I now have the option to create any type of animation I want and this is far easier than setting the rotation scale and location of objecta on each frame. It's just setvisible true of false for each frame

This means fluid animations, complex animations, flexible objects, cloth simulations.. Really anything you want as a prop! Can be triggered as well of course.

Do you think it would be possible to script a flashing red light, or white light like on TTD and KK to simulate the aircraft warning lights?

^There are probably more efficient ways of doing that, this is more for changes in the geometry of objects
