Vstab 2 degress t o the left ?

[StuartC]

Yasim question, because I forgot how I done it before and cant remember what aircraft it was on.

I need a Vstab to be turned 2 degrees left, permanently., cant remember what to add o the vstab code block to do it.
Anyone got an idea?

5 days and no one knows?

Cant you just make some code in autopilot, that feeds into yasim, and keeps that deflection? Just dont let rudder-cmd be feed directly into yasim, but through a mediator property.

from the code all of the surfaces in yasim take the same parameters - http://wiki.flightgear.org/YASim#Surfaces

So probably incidence and/or twist are what you want.

[StuartC]

incidence tilts a vstab back, not offset it left/right, twist might work.
There is no rudder function on the vstab im using so the autopilot mod wont work.

[Necolatis]

Then make the whole vstab into a rudder, and move it 2 degs?

[StuartC]

After testing using the twist function, its not giving me any real change to the behaviour of the Vstab.

What I'm trying to do is inset the offset into the Vstab that you find on some fixed wing and Helicopter vstabs ( hence no rudder ) that's used to aid in countering the torque. For helicopters, there wont be a rudder function ( except for some like the MD520N ). Also I would like to apply that to certain fixed wing aircraft so the Vstab is offset before the rudder is even applied.

Hello Stuart,
I suggest you add incidence="2" to the vstab attributes, since a yasim vstab is just a non-mirrored wing with a 90° dihedral (and y>0 to the left side). I've just tested it with incidence="5" on a plane that goes strongly to the left then.

Hi Stuart,

incidence should do the job on the vstab. But it is wrongly displayed by the Melchior script.

that explains why it looks wrong
