Sinking Plane!!!

[Fahim Dalvi]

Hi Guys...
Sinc nobody was interested in making the A380...i took over the job. The original plane was not quiet flyable...so i converted it to YASim. The plane flys superbly but..it sinks in the ground as if the ground was below....how can i solve the problem

thanks

Adjust the offsets like this:

<path>A380.ac</path>
<offsets>
<z-m>0.3</z-m>
<pitch-deg>0.3</pitch-deg>
</offsets>

You have to experiment a little bit...

By the Way: The A380-JSBSim seems to me that it had his origin on the very rare real data and official guess by specialist you can found on the web- but it is only a guess from me.
To make it flyable you have to enable the engines in the -set.xml-file like this:

<engines>

<engine n="0">

<running>true</running>

</engine>
...

Manually is the A380-JSBSim nice to fly- with autopilot it is a mess: the autopilot has to be done new...

But with YASim you have the better possibilities for animation- so go on and share it with us!

Hey Fahim,

Sorry to break it to you, but I think that either Gjis or Pauljs75 is also working on the A380...

Maybe you guys can work together?

Well...i thought gijs was working on the beluga n pauljs75 on some other plane...anyways we'll see about that...

I already know that...i actually meant that the aircraft just went right and was pretty uncontrollable in the air!!!

The fdm is right- the autopilot.xml isn't!

And I'm sure you will have problems with YASim maybe too....

But don't give up - I'm sure you will do it!

the only problem i am having with yasim is the plane...either sinking or floating in air!!!!

You have to adjust the values carefully!

O.k.- I changed the A380, so it is now full flyable, it is stable with autopilot and stable on ILS!

You can download it here:
www.hoerbird.net/A380.zip

Because I used some files from Air_Alex modified 787, I don't know really if it is CVS-compatible ( but it should be, if the files follow the licence!)

Have fun!

It can be made flyable by turning on the engines.

Your guess is correct. Many parts of the A380 are done using real data. So becareful on what you are modifying.

Oops, sorry Fahim!

[Gijs]

No, I'm not working on the A380.
I thought the A380s model was already done?

[Fahim Dalvi]

yeah...the models are done...but no animation......i am working on that, the fdm, special effects(heat blur, etc....) and Cockpit....

[Gijs]

Ah ok, do you need help with the cockpit(models)?

[Fahim Dalvi]
