+====== General ======
+For both helmet and vest geometry LOD has to be present, even if it's empty, and has to have "autocenter = 0" set in Named Properties window.
+Helmets and glasses need to have an empty ViewPilot LOD or they would obscure view in 1st person.
+Make sure to model night vision goggles (NVG) slot on helmets in appropriate position. See A3_headgear_NVGslot.p3d for placement reference.
+If you want to make chin strap skinned on jawbone, the bone name is "Face_Jawbone".
+"camo" selections do work, the same as on characters.
