Why do the forks of the forklift move

Hi,

Why do the forks of the forklift move when picking up an item, even if do animations is switched of?

TestForklift.fsm
We would expect that the forks just keep still if we switch of the checkbox, also when we check the user manual this is what we expected.

Thanks,

Patrick

The only animations defined on the object are wheel rotation.

In version22 you can separately define if the forks should move during travel but this is only for the offset travel portion of the movement and the fork movement is still active when stationary (and changes the time taken).
