Glider Alps traversal challenge

[HB-SIB]

Same here. Winch not working. Benih has working winch, but I don't know which version of the Ask21. As a sub for the winch I recommend positioning the glider at 2900 ft @ 60 kts and then add one minute to the total time.

winch is working for me, using the ASK21 JSBSim from trunk FGAddon hanger.

and with the ask21-jsb, didn't manage the less than one hour challenge, got one minute more
i'm fine if you remove my last flight, and give the chance to best the hour time to someone else the yasim ask21 may haver some strange properties
the longer path is not so good now

[HB-SIB]

If you're fine then I'm fine. You got very close to the hour mark with jsb. I'll check the time later.

BTW I found a solution for our winch problem. Edit ask21-main.xml and add the following in the <input> <keyboard> section.

Code: Select all

   <key n="23">
      <name>Ctrl-w</name>
      <desc>Place winch in front of aircraft and start it</desc>
      <binding>
         <command>nasal</command>
         <script>
            towing.setWinchPositionAuto();
            settimer(towing.runWinch, 1);
         </script>
      </binding>
   </key>

I added the winch keybinding to the ask21 in fgaddons trunk.

@wlbragg
Thanks for doing so. I wonder why it worked for benih and TheEagle though.

EDIT: Updated the rankings in the first post.

[wlbragg]

Maybe a different version? I added this to next. It was one of the only gliders I updated that was still missing the winch code. I guess I missed it when I added all the aircraft towing bindings code. I wasn't really looking at the winch stuff, but subsequently I went ahead and looked at the winch code in most of the gliders.

I use the version from Ysop: https://github.com/ysopflying/flightgear-ask21

[TheEagle]

Me too !
