Ok. I tried that. My little yellow dart fell into the ground on the left gear.

I wondered if that information was in the Wiki, but the Wiki shows base, unsetup, blank code blocks.

I then thought about how far I have come in 30 days and that my plane is once again back in the ground. I am firing shots in the dark. I have no concrete settings to go by. This is, for me, all guess work. I need to go on vacation from this for a while. Maybe in the future, the SDK will have information on exactly how this works. For now, I have to walk away. I still love this simulator. I just cannot make my plane to properly work in it.

Many thanks Jan.

Off to test some more. That really helps out quite a bit.

Ok, I did find one issue. My hydraulic cylinder I had rerouted to Fuselage from the wings. I have my landing gear mounted to the wings and I had changed it with hydraulic cyl. to link with the fuselage as I got animation movement. I changed it back so that hydraulic cylinder R0 coordinate is back to left wing, (which kills any animation movement). Also, the gear pivot point is proper. Its copied from the TM.log.

So that is fixed and now the gear no longer animates. Now, when I hit G to raise the gear, nothing happens, and then 'blip' the plane resets on the ground. So I am wondering if its my hydraulic cylinder setting? Could I possibly need to change a setting to get it to work? Like lowering the movement or something?

This is the Left Main Gear (top primary that should hinge into the wing).

Also, the pivot for the wing is right on also. Double checked.

Thank you Jan.

So Mapping is on/off positions in a animation track. Nice. I remember now you talking on this a while back.

I cant believe I posted the flaps section instead of gear, lol... I think it was 4AM. bad me.

I did use the pivot point from the TM log. It should be correct. I have tripple checked it to the power of 5. I have the main gear linked to the wings. I wonder if these are also messed up in the TM log. One of my tires had faulty height. Maybe these main gear have a bad gizmo location. That would explain why they are hinging from odd points. I'll check them in Max.

Thanks again,

I have a new issue. I have progress in that I have the landing gear moving, but they are moving up through the wings and over the fuselage, like they are hinging from inside the center of the fuselage.

Can someone figure out what I have done wrong? It took me a while to get to this point. I have been trying out many versions of top landing gear, trying to get one to animate. The Pivot points are proper, but it appears to hinge from the center of the plane.

I have been copy/pasting and experimenting, then redoing it, over and over, trying to find a section that works. When I try adding a pivot and axis point to a rigid body, it crashes the sim. Makes sense, but when I do a hinged body, it doesnt work.

I also tried 'MapRightGear' (same for left) and it hinges in the same spot.

Hey Dave,

Many thanks.

That would be Moffett air base with 3 dirigible hangers; one modern and two from perhaps the 1930's. Moffett is south of San Francisco in that valley.

Hello all,

Is it possible we could get the option to click a 'like' on posts? I know it might sound goofy, but I think it is handy for showing interest in particular fields of the sim.

lionheart · Elevators Animating Backwards lionheart April 22, 2017 at 9:39 AM

Hey Jan,

That worked! But I do not understand why. Either the AngleMax was confusing the sim, or all three axis' and AngleMax were confusing the sim.

When I first got the elevators animated, they worked proper. After animating ailerons and flaps, the elevators flipped. Thanks for the heads up on those bits of information.

Elevators and flaps are now proper! A thousand thanks...

Still a ways to go on the landing gear. The rear gear needs to turn, the brakes need a little more zap, and the gear needs to retract up into the wings. But......! Its sitting on the landing gear, no longer leaning to one side, tailwheel has a functioning oleo... Progress, sweet sweet progress...

lionheart · Object Rotation added in scenery TSC lionheart April 13, 2017 at 12:08 AM

Thanks Rodeo for the heads up! Very nice feature.

Do we need a new, updated SDK, or does this simply work in the sim?

I see the last update to the SDK was in February.. (just checked)

lionheart

Quote from Wünsch

may this will help you
to find the right set up, this is a grid of 20 X 20 balls

in one direction i shift the specular and in the other i shift the specular alpha, just convert it like an aircraft

Hey Michael,

I tried to export that as a plane. It doesnt work. I looked in the files and it talks about another plane (name begins with a B).

lionheart

Hey Dino,

For one of my dull military paint schemes, I used an almost black Specular bitmap for exterior graphics and it worked well. I got a small dot of light on it and that was it.

As I look at it now, it does still look 'clean' shiny, like plastic. There must be a way to get those white dots off of it.

Mountains of Colorado! Brilliant! Just flew over Durango.

Found them... Funny. Almost looks they are in a disagreement. 'I didnt tell you you could borrow the plane, Linda. Next time you want to go shopping in California, just ask.'

By the way, Awesome.........! Looking great, IPACS! Many thanks for the new state! Incredible simulator.

Cannot get rid of shininess....and question on materials.
