Petipet's Starship Stingray

I really like Petipet's models, but there are things about them I don't understand at times. On the Starship Stingray in particular, the promo images show the landing gear up but I see no way to put them up. There are no presets or sliders to do so, only a 'spin' for the foot (which doesn't actually make much sense to me.) I also can't select the parts of the gear other then the foot for trying to manually transform (pivot, translate etc..)

Also, the bomb has a bomb release arm but there is no way to select the bomb bay doors to open them, they like the bulk of the landing gear seem to be a part of the larger mesh.

Finally, the flame from the rear jets in the promo show a large flame from the upper round jets, but the only flames I can find are smaller rectangular ones from small jets under the larger round ones, and those are set at a .1 scale so totally invisible by default due to scale which seems very strange.

Oh, one last note... one has to load both the poser and DS format if using DS for one reason, the DS version doesn't come with the M4 Pilot pose.

    That DAZ Studio is still an afterthought is disturbing... :(

    Are you selecting the root node (the one that is named for the figure)? A lot of his sets have the controls there, rather than using visible controls on body parts. You can also enable the display of hidden parts from the Scene pane option menu, which may let you get at individual bones.

    I checked all nodes. I didn't think of hidden parts, will check that :)

    The larger flames are controlled by the HideShowFire slider, right above the HideShowFireSpace slider for the smaller rectangular flames.

    Thank you very much Richard and Sean. That is why I like to check the forums before I report things as a bug. Yes, I checked it and no I didn't see it. I have a handicap where I can look right at something and not see it at times (think of dyslexia, but different) so it helps to have others look and point out things I've missed :)
