    @asteroidbook345 I guess he did the same technique.
    I looked into it and you're right, his latest plane had the exact mechanism, but with a few different speeds. I had never noticed before because at that time I just left the doors out entirely.

    Oh, but Landing lights and nav lights both on the whole flight look weird @BaconEggs

    @CRJ900Pilot then the game needs about 2 to 4 more activation groups

    Cool! Make sure to put Landing lights and nav lights on different activation groups, they look silly when there all on at the same time

    @BeryllCorp Not exactly, but when I upload it you can take a look at the mechanisms.

    My guess is this is made with Rotators with limited range of motion. The door opens in the first half or the Rotator's motion and closes them with the later half.

    This setup has problems because the assembly compresses itself in the first half of the rotator's motion and too much compression could lead to the whole thing to not work or just explode. To remedy this you used a strong spring so the assembly can compress/decompress itself without problems. This would explain why the door opens fast but closes slowly.

    @jamesPLANESii Shhhhh..
    You'll figure out when I post it

    but yeah I did use six rotators for each door

    I assume you used 3 or 4 different rotators for the gear doors? Or did you just use an activator?
