I will try to offered a simple idea how to create an animation, after you have Given a FRIENDLY name to the model wecan start using a dummy model, we will use a landing gear move, Notice that we use link .
link is fundamental in every creation modeling airplanes for MSFS we will see just two ,but some C_gear (center gears) can have suspension and can have like a stair up to 20 pieces ..
we will use a dummy model But we will set the pivot in the top of the gear in this case a cylinder ,I didn't put names to avoid confusions every part are made with cylinders, box, etc
please Follow the numbers
We Can rename the cylinder's name to Gear too
Select Position and rotate Number 3 in this shot
Now we can export to ALSO see the animation in FSX
