Hangar30

 

 

This example will explain how to make one type of hangars using this dynamic event, as the shown in the above picture. Hangar31 example uses the distance  to open the doors when the aircraft is at 140 meters from the hangar.
 

The example, use the following macros:

 

The hard core of the macro or static sections are made of the hangar1 tool, an horizontal front section ( Seq. #2) and 2 side front sections of the hangars.Sequences 5 and 6 are two static doors as well.
This graphic shows all static parts of the hangar.

The macro scale will be 0.50

      

The dynamic sections of the hangar are made of structures, I will use the sign doors for this purpose. This left picture shows the left door, the right door is a copy of this structure, but placed at X=9 meters
The left picture shows how this method works, the left door will move to the right a given number of meters every second as specified in the macro event main panel.

 

 
This is where all the dynamics of the macro are created, the hangar's dynamic will be activated when the aircraft is at 140 meters or less.

At every second, the structure hang31ml will move 1 meter to the left, and this for 18 seconds, as shown in the constant move table.

If you want to make the same move, but for the right door, then you can check on the mirror structure box and include the name of the file structure to move, 1 meter to the right and for 18 seconds as well.

This type of dynamic move is much more easier to do than the one explained in the hangar30 documentation, it also will give you a more constant and smooth move of the structures. The maximum allowed time is 59 seconds.
