  • I can not see my model in Aerofly

    Yes, Jan there are some error in the tm.log file that I thought were non-critical.

    I am sending the.log file as well.

    About the textures I think every object has a color assigned to it.

    If it would make easier I can send you all the files of the project.

    What I really want is to learn the process of model fabrication.

    Tell me if there is an issue to send all the project through here!

  • I can not see my model in Aerofly

    Would someone be so kind to review my model?

    I am following a mixture between PT40Tutorial and Arthur model Shorts Empire S-23.

    But I got stuck in Lesson 04 from the tutorial where the model should be visible inside AF, and it is not!

    I reviewed it with help of Notepad++ compare plugin and can not find the issue.

    Thanks

  • About the Inertia of the model

    Hi Jan,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I'll follow on from there.

    EDIT-

    It didn't run on Windows 10 but as a beginner I'll take the default values from my model guide.

    Thank you guys for the massive help anyway!!

    Re-Edit:

    So sorry but I thing I am very excited with the all process and I didn't give the time to my antivirus run throught the file!

    It is working alright!

    best regards,

    Carlos

  • About the Inertia of the model

    Hello everyone,

    Reading the manual I understood that Inertia is a parameter that is already as a default to AF, but I would like to understand

    how I can input data related with the inertia of the model. I understand that as in all model data eveything is related with 3D axis,

    In the example model PT40 we have this data:

    <[float64][Mass][1.600000]>

    <[tmvector3d][InertiaLength][1.150000 0.100000 0.150000]>

    <[tmmatrix3d][Inertia][0.004333 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.179333 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.177667]>

    <[tmvector3d][R0][-0.034669 0.000000 0.000000]>

    <[tmmatrix3d][B0][1.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000]>

    <[tmvector3d][C0][0.000000 0.000000 0.000000]>

    I understand [Mass] that is the total weight of that specific part of the model.

    What exactly mean [InertiaLength]?

    Why [Inertia] have 9 fields of data, if we are working with 3 axis?

    What are the Labels

    [R0] = ?

    [B0] = ?

    [C0] = Initial Inertia, so obviously it should be 0 in all axis

    I believe that this is not so important for the overall model's performance but I would like to know and I can not get it from the manual that I translated from German.

    :/

  • textures convertion error

    Hi Arthur,

    It worked in deed! Thanks a lot!

    Now I will try to edit TMC and TMD files.

    I was thinking to use CL145 that is in AF by defaullt as a guide but it has only 2 engines.

    So I thought better to use one of your models Shorts Empire S-23 if you don't mind because it has 4 engines althought it doesn't have wheels. I suppose it is easier to figure out the wheels section!

    thanks once more

    Carlos

  • textures convertion error

    Hi Arthur,

    So I tested what you so kindly sent to me and I got some questions.

    Quote from Arthur

    Please notice:

    The texture file must be a 24-Bit-Bitmap (.bmp) (it has to be a square power of 2, eg.? 64 x64, 128 x 128, 256 x 256, 512 x 512, 1024 x1024 bit).

    The color files must have the name <filename>.color.bmp!

    The preview file must be preview.png (my example has 1024 x 768 bit).


    Now you can put your texture files into the new folder and it should work.

    Here you say every image should be "AxB" bit but I think you might want to say pixels right?

    I am asking this because I could convert "texture"_color.bmp but not the preview image that is like below.

    So this preview.png is not converted to .TTX

    Anything I could do to sort this out?

    Thanks

    Carlos

  • textures convertion error

    I am getting an error when converting my textures files to .TTX

    First the converter wasn't finding this file, ./af5-model.tmc

    so I changed the name of my model .tmc file to this.

    Now it doesn't find preview, but I created a preview.bmp and it is in the same folder as all other files.

    I tryed to change the name of the .ac file to af5-model.ac but it didn't work

    All the textures are saved as .bmp

    This is the error log

    (...)

  • can't play some musics

    Hi all,

    Anyone can direct me what I might doing wrong as I put in my aerofly user music folder a new .mp3 but it doesn't play.

    :/X/:/

    C:\Users\"simulator"\Documents\aerofly RC 7\music

    I checked at the same time the default music and they play nicely.

    I cross checked the bit rates and sizes of several music and they are different even the default ones, so no luck in there!

    I tried to put the new files in the aerofly root music with the default ones and no success.

    The file was named in Camel-Way and I renamed it to all small case.

    Any hints I'll be much appreciated.

    thanks for your help
