I see how you're right about how Transports appear in the Game.

But if you have a look at the sequences/cam1/c001.ogg sequence file, you will see that two of the Transports are sitting flat on the ground. However, the rotors still appear to be running constantly, I think. Maybe we can overlook this one detail, what do you think guys? :hmm:

The below image had to be resized to fit the 100KB attachment limit, so it may not be very evident here.

I meant that for in-game animation purposes, transports are always in the air, so there's no need to code support for starting/stopping rotation. :P

Better late then never This has been done for a good while now sorry.
Simple animation with texture the frame rate is slow and the frame count is limited to 4 frames hope it will be fixed to work one day.
