finally, figure out it, i forgot defaultUserMFDvalues[]= in vehicle class

i tried to import a JET to ARMA3 base on the reference of TO201, copied the config ,memory points, and proxies form to201, and adjust the axis in memory LOD, rewritten the key parameters in config (i did not touch class MFD), everything just works except the HUD ( only the class To201_parallax_HUD not work),. then i checked the class MFD and MFD_config_reference, noticed that there are three memory points needed in P3D, so i checked the memory LOD and confirmed that memory points was still there with correct names. there must be something i forget for HUD, but i do not find it.

game keep running as a minimized tab when i start the game, i can hear the main theme music playing by the game.exe, also, i can preview/peek the game's interface when move the mouse's indicator on the game icon in the taskbar, i can even open the games main menu by press any bottom, but i cant switch to the game in order to display it on the desktop. screenshot:

how about the Position in <Rotor> document said it relative to the vehicle body coordinate system, is it also relative to the rtd_center? I use rtd_center as reference datum to locate MountStations of every GroundContacts, i found GroundContacts of wheels is a little higher than the center of wheels in resolution LOD, plus with radius in RTD_config , the edge of wheels can not contact the ground, but other GroundContact is looked fine (nose tip, tail etc), if plus with SuspensionLength too, the wheels' collision is almost correct but a little clip with ground.

How to find the center of gravity which relative to the MountStation in RTD_Config.xml not this one in the head of RTD_Config.xml, i try to use <CenterOfGravity x y z as a reference datum, got a wrong GroundContact i try to use the postion of blue X showed in Object builder when editting Geometry LOD, also got a wrong MountStation, the real postion of center of gravity is always lower than the blue X, i didn't figure out how many meters it is

Helicopter work well when disable Advanced Helicopter Flight Model in game's option but missing wheels' collision when AFHM is enabled i updated the sccreenshots in twitter

i found the reason, the RTDconfig file must be named as RTD_[your pbo name].xml, and packed together with your config.bin(packed in one same folder), dont forget to add *.xml in the List of files to copy directly in Addon Builder option you cant just copy all class RotorLibHelicopterProperties from other heli. but after i resolved this issue, i encountered a new issue( VME PLA MOD of hcpookie also encounter it ), the wheels of helicopter sink below the ground after enable Advanced Helicopter Flight Model, (the physX collision is missing), i try to write class wheels to add wheels collision using memory points just like land vehicle, but nothing changed

I tried to import a new helicopter to ARMA3, everyting is fine, but i cant enable the Advanced Flight Model to my helicopter, nothing changed after i switch to the Advanced Flight Model in game option, only the UI of AHFM. all the config is copied from vanilla helicopter's PBO

I tried to add damage textures to my tankX vehicle following the wiki, but i found the collision between physX object (vehicles) and Non-physX object (player) stopping running after tank destroyed, it seemed as if Geometry_LOD had been removed from the vehicle. it is not occurred in my wheeled vehicles. the only way i found for this issue is to make a standalone wreckage model in a new p3d with new geometry LOD, and attach it with Main p3d by proxy, just like the vanilla Tanks, it is very inconvenient and the camo of wreckage cant be changed when the camo of vehicle model is changed.

Solved by copying Memory LOD form AFV-4 , but i still dont know which memory points are particular for amphibious vehicles Also, i had rewrited the model.cfg and CfgVehicles, but nothing change before i copied Memory LOD form AFV-4 Memory point my wheeled APC used to solve the issue Momery LOD my tracked APC used, also my Wheeled APC used before(just remove some wheel axis/bounds)

My project Overview

I try to add memoryPointsLeftEngineEffect="EngineEffectL"; memoryPointsRightEngineEffect="EngineEffectR"; to my config and memory point, does not work

I copy the PhysX part of APC_Wheeled_03 (AFV_4 in game) for my Wheeled APC, and followed all the steps of ShipX on the BIS wiki, everything working fine, but it does only floats (always keep on the speed of 8km/h when floats) does not steer or accelerate in the water（No propelling force, No friction, just like a space ship lose power in outer space） I had tried to copy the PhysX part form BTR80 of RHS, also not work, （not the problem of PhysX i guess） (Important)Also, my animations what use the sources of "InWater" "propeller" does not work, like the game dont think my APC is floating on the water I have made one successful Tracked Amphibious Vehicles before use the PhysX from BMP3 of RHS CfgVehicle: https://pastebin.com/uZrniYr3 PhysX.hpp: https://pastebin.com/E2Fv0vev buoyancy=1 was added to the geometry LOD and geometry_physX LOD (i confirmed it deterministically)

thanks a lot, it worked it is the first time i'd heard of " sections" after i made 8 vehicles for my New PLA mod

T100 My custom vehicle 1 34600 faces in totall ( 58000 tris) 2* 4096*4096 textures 2* 2040-2048 textures 1* 1024*1024 textures 1* 512*512 textures More faces, high resolution textures , But high FPS My custom vehicle 2 18377 faces in totall ( 31388 tris) No 4096*4096 textures 3* 2040-2048 textures 1* 1024*1024 textures 1* 512*512 textures less faces lower resolution textures, But unbelievable FPS FPS would be increased if i remove all the textures If i work in a wrong way, both of my custom vehicles could encounter same problem, but not
