for the anims and selections in p3d :

class AnimationSources {

class FrontDamper {
source = "damper";
selection = "pravy predni tlumic nerot";
};

class BackDamper {
source = "damper";
selection = "pravy zadni tlumic";
};
};

and for the config.cpp :

damperSize = 0.100000;
damperForce = 1;
damperDamping = 1;

(values for car)
i think that's it

Working for you on a custom model ?  http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/crazy_o.gif

hmmm so.. if that's true.. maybe you can post some working example please ? http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/whistle.gif

Because.. no one is actually able to have working damper on a custom car model... and with only the Class AnimationSources that cannot work... and you say.. you picked it on arma config.. but the problem is that all the anim for BIS models are defined in the p3d so this method cannot work until we have the tools to include the anim in p3d too...

Actually anims must be defined in the config.cpp using class CfgSkeletons, CfgModels, Class Animations... and i tested several method.. and the damper source anim doesn't have any effect. All the others anims are okay but not the damper... so.. if you really have the solution.. please explain it to us http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif thank

Suspension and also all other animations are defined in model.cfg. Because this file is processed with p3d during binarization, you cannot find it in PBO. Documentation about model.cfg is at http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Model_Config

At the moment when Oxygene2 will be released, you will get also some examples of those files.
