Yes, the IKARUS support can convert RC7 scenes to the new RC8/RC9 format.
But please contact the support directly via support@ikarus.net.

Hi leanderhd15,

why don't you get the ikarus tutorial?

Hi leanderhd15,

do you already know these tutorials?

Hallo Jürgen,

das geht ganz einfach (Beispiel Mode 1, rechter Knüppel Gas und Querruder):

Nachteil bei Mode 1: der Gas-Knüppel hat keine Rückhol-Feder.

Bei Mode 2 sollte es richtig funktionieren.

Hallo Jürgen,

ich kann Dein Problem immer noch nicht nachvollziehen:

Hallo Jürgen,

würdest Du bitte den kompletten Link angeben, der nicht funktioniert?

Ich habe nirgendwo auf der Seite einen Bereich für User-Modelle gefunden, bei dem der Download nicht funktioniert.

Hi Jean-Pierre,

if you send me the tmd file I will have a look at it.

I added the same function (landing gear light combined with retract gear) and it works fine.

Hallo Wolfgang,

vielleicht hilft Dir diese Seite weiter:

Ganz unten steht, wie man bei MAC User-Modelle installiert.

Fly with others for example in us-bennetfield

Hope this will help you.

You can only adapt user-defined models from afpd yourself, but you need the sources of the models (* .mqo, if they were created with metasequoia and * .ac, if AC3D was used, as well as the * .bmp texture files.)

Hi Phil,

not only that.

For hand launching you have to add something to the tmd file:

<[string8][object][hook]

<[string8][Name][LaunchHook]>

<[string8][Body][Fuselage]>

<[vector3_float64][X0][1 0 0]>

<[vector3_float64][Y0][0 1 0]>

<[vector3_float64][Z0][0 0 1]>

            <[vector3_float64][R0][-0.1 0 -0.15]>

>

With the values of [R0] you can change the position of the model in the hand of the launcher.

Arthur

Hi Phil,

here is another modification you might like:

Unzip the zip file into the same folder where you have Jan's modification.

Quote from iRick

I have tried to build models to make relevant electric foamies that most new fliers want. I could not get effective instructions in English, and the translation from German was too hard to be clear.

Will there be any clear instructions posted for:

1. Add a new model to RC8

2. Change a model from RC7 to RC8

3. Modify an existing model?

4. Build a new model?

Hi Rick,

I have some questions and some information for you.

At first, did you already build models like 'relevant electric foamies that most new fliers want' ? If so, which tool did you use?

To your questions:

1. Add a new model to RC8

Wherefrom do you get new models for the RC8?

2. Change a model from RC7 to RC8

Do you have own models for the RC7 which you would like to convert them?

If so, please send me one and I will make an example for you (with an English description what to do).

3. Modify an existing model?

For simple modifications you can use the model editor from the RC8, like in RC7.

Otherwise you must edit the <modelname>.tmd file using a text editor and make the changes.

4. Build a new model?

You need the

• General content converter ( to convert textures, sounds, and so on )

and

• 3D Modelling plugins for 3DS Max, Cinema 4D and AC3D

from the SDK Tools:

and one of the following modeling tools:

• Autodesk 3D Studio Max 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 or 2016

• Maxon Cinema 4D Version 17

• AC3D Version 8 ( currently for airplane modelling only )

The output must be a <modelname>.tgi file. In addition you need the texture files you used for the painting of the models.

The content converter will make a <modelname>.tmb out of the tgi file and <name>.ttx files out of the texture files.

The <modelname>.tmc and <modelname>.tmd files you should take from a similar model of the original aircraft folder of the RC8 and make the necessary adjustments manually.

Hope this will help you for the moment.

Regards,

Arthur

Ja, die Modelle müssen konvertiert werden (tmc --> tmb) und einige Änderungen müssen noch per Hand vorgenommen werden (tmc, tmd, tps).

Ich werde jetzt nach und nach meine Modelle in den Download-Bereich stellen. Was mit den anderen wird, ist noch nicht ganz klar. Ich habe die anderen Modell-Ersteller kontaktiert und sie über die notwendigen Änderungen informiert.

Arthur

Hallo Jürgen,

da muss nichts aktiviert werden.

Wenn Du die richtige Version hast . . .

und der User-Ordner existiert . . .

dieser im Ordner config . . .

in der Datei main.mcf richtig eingetragen ist, . . .

dann erscheint automatisch der Bereich Eigene Modelle im Auswahl-Menü.

Das ist wie beim RC 7.

Hi Karl-Heinz,
I found the recordings, thanks!

But I can't start with 'Win + G', I have to use 'Win + alt + R' ?!

Quote from Rodeo

If you have a Win 10 system, there is a hidden tool: Press Windows+G.
For the first start, it shows some xbox stuff, but then it allows to record everything.
If it asks, is this a game, just answer yes.

I have found this only a few days ago and was happy, since it can also record openGL applications like aerofly FS 2.
So I did my first youtube video with this tool and Windows movie maker.

Hi Karl-Heinz,
where will I find the recording?
