Fighter Basic Function
The purpose of iAnimation in iClone is to use the simplest way to provide the user multiple choices when using particular behavior of iProps. For example, Choose to pull the landing gear up, and the plane will do so instantly.
This will greatly save the filming time.

Each plane has two different kinds of props, General usage and Combat only (With only Toggle Engine Loop and Open Fire).
