Display MoreAlright, I have the Cub in FS4 now.
I had only to kill the engine, as it is an old code.
Jet-Pack (IPACS) Jan, for that gibe today morning you may fix it.
aenbacka I'll write you a pm soon.
Cheers,
Kai
Looks beautiful, great work!😀 Been looking through the FS4 aircraft development docs the last few days.
Moikka,
I have taken over the Carbon Cub from an other fellower a few years ago and have done some work on it. But, by best will, I don't have time to finish it.
So, if you are interested, I might pass it forward to you.
Cheers,Kai

Hello Kai!
Thanks for the message, would definitely be interested in that😀 Aerofly is a fantasic sim platform, and I think there is lots of potential for third party development. We could discuss this more👍
I have been working on an electric conversion of a Schluter Cobra AH-1 model, which has a fixed pitch head. Does Aerofly RC8 contain any scale heli model with fixed pitch, which could be used for training?
Just let the ideas drop into this thread, lets see what we can come up with😀
Airplanes are already complex, helicopters are a totally different story. I would recommend starting with a simple aircraft.
Yes that would probably make sense, to get familar with the development process and tools as a first step.
Been looking at the Aircraft SDK for Aerofly FS4, it should be possible to bring the helicopter model into the simulator. Another issue is the flight model, there are some documentation about developing an aircraft and needed parameters, but they are indeed very fixed wing oriented.
Btw, did some tests with the new UH-60 and have to say that it is very impressive. Flight dynamics seems very good, and the model is top notch. Also the autopilot works extremely well. Great work IPACS! 
Had to get the aircraft DLC now with the UH-60 and support the IPACS team, they do indeed deserve it😀
The helicopter TMD coding is very complex and highly detailed, IPACS are extremely protective of how the helicopter physics work. Most of which I didn't understand. Similar to the complexity of their gas turbine engine coding.
I was worn to secrecy under pain of having certain bits of my anatomy removed and making a necklace from them
I see, seems little counterintuitive when a public aircraft SDK is available, did not note that it said fixed wing only. Would admin want to comment on this. Will not spend time on this if it is not possible to do at all.
If you ever get to work with the heli TMD file, I would stick to a helicopter with 2 or 4 blades as its much easier. IPACS are very protective of the heli coding so you will need their permission first and you will need to demonstrate a strong, no, very strong dedication to the development. My guess they would like to see the full model first.
Developing a fixed wing aircraft. which I recommend you do first, is a rewarding but time consuming task, a heli is maybe 1.5 times the fixed wing development. Sitting in a virtual version of the model you built and programmed is like the big Christmas present you always wanted.

Thanks for the info, very much appreciated. I am sure the development would require a significant of work and learning, I do like challenges myself. I find the work you did on Aerofly FS2 outstanding as well. I found the Aircraft SDK for Aerofly FS4, and details on how to get the actual model into Aerofly (I have been working in Blender).
So if I understood the documentation for rotorcraft development is not public, only for fixed wing? What is the reason for this Jet-Pack (IPACS) ?
I hereby propose that everyone having gifted software to the public is entitled to receive a software for free.
Sincerely,
the Wettergerät guy
Sounds like good deal😀 We really need more devs to the Aerofly community.
Display MoreHello,
Why people always have to think that additional modules always have to be free is beyond me.
When I buy a product, I buy it in the condition in which it was sold and then I can't tell later what I hoped or wished for but didn't receive...
The only thing I would like to recommend IPACS is that you could offer individual planes, helicopters etc. as DLC. However, I don't know to what extent this is even possible.
In addition, you are all old to know what the product contains when you buy it, do your research properly and then you will not be disappointed. You don't have to buy a product on the first day, you can get enough information about it in today's media. I think it's wrong to complain afterwards.
Accept the purchased goods as they are offered and don't always complain about what you think IPCAS has to deliver afterwards for free!..
You don't work for free for additional hours worked, do you?!...
Greetings
Werner

Hallo,
Warum die Leute immer meinen zu müssen, das Zusatzmodule immer gratis sein müssen ist mir schleierhaft.
Wenn ich ein Produkt kaufe so kaufe ich es so wie es im verkauften Zustand ist und kann dann später nicht erzählen was ich wie erhofft oder gewünscht, aber nicht erhalten habe...
Zudem seid Ihr alle alt um zu wissen was das Produkt beinhaltet wenn Ihr es kauft, informiert Euch richtig und dann seit Ihr auch nicht enttäuscht. Man muss ein Produkt nicht gleich am ersten Tag kaufen sondern kann sich in den heutigen Medien umfassend genug darüber informieren. Meckern im nachhinein halte ich für falsch.
Das einzige was ich IPACS empfehlen möchte ist, dass man einzelne Flugzeuge, Helikopter etc. als DLC anbieten könnte. Inwiefern das allerdings überhaupt möglich ist weiss ich nicht.
Nehmt die gekaufte Ware an wie es angeboten wird und meckert nicht immer was IPCAS nach Eurer Meinung im nach hinein gratis abzuliefern hat!..
Ihr arbeitet ja auch nicht gratis für zusätzliche geleistete Arbeitszeit, oder?!...
Froher Gruss
Werner
Well I do not expect all modules to be free, in this case it is more about it was slightly unclear that the Deluxe edition would be needed to receive any additional modules in the future. And having separate DLCs with only a particular aircraft would be nice iindeed (as I do not want any fixed wings myself).
Hopefully IPACs will provide updates to the existing models such as the EC135 and R22 as well.
I have several models in mind, one I have been looking into is the AS332 Superpuma L2 (H225) 😀
Anyway what ever aircraft I end up working on, it will be made available as freeware.
Its communicated this way in the Blog:
Yes I noticed that. It was slightly unclear when I got the Aerofly FS4 that the Deluxe bundle was needed to get any new aircraft in the future. Or the aircraft DLC (thought it was for that particular fixed wing which was included).
The UH-60M is not in my aircraft but shows as up to date? The only reason I got FS4 was for the 60
I was equally surprised that it was not part of the default package.
Well...I vote Mosquito!
Very nice, could be a good candidate👍
Ya, having to pay ~aud$60 for a bunch of aircraft I don't want, just for this heli (which I probably don't need) is nothing short of a money grab imho. Since FS4 is far from a finished product I don't think any DLC's are warranted right now. Pretty disappointing imho.
Yes normally I do not mind getting payware but in this case I agree, I only want the rotorcraft models and no fixed wings at all. When I got the Aerofly FS4 I was thinking we would still receive new models like was the case with the EC135.
There are no SDK's out yet for the new Aerofly FS4....
Big plans! It seems to be a hard and time consuming job.
Still hope someone will give us the tiny Mosquito helicopter for FS4, but of course you should work on a model of your own liking.
Yes it will probably be a lot of work, but I was thinking working on it more as a side project from time to time:) I am definitely open for suggestions what would be nice models to have😀
I am planning at some point develop a custom helicopter for Aerofly FS4, is there some documentation available for the helicopter / rotorcraft specific flight model development?
Was surprised that the new helicopter was not included in the default installation, is it to be expected that all new content will be paid DLCs in the future as well?
