General aviation AI models

[gooneybird]

Things are coming along nicely, just a few niggles to sort out then it's livery creation and testing in FG.

There are so many variations of Tiger panels that I've just created a generic one using svg images from the Cessna 172.

Looks great!

I like the fabric fold rendering; quite realistic. Awesome work, as usual !

Thanks guys.

Been having some down time due to ongoing health problems but managed to get some more work done on the Tiger today.

[gooneybird]

There's still a few more liveries to be added but the majority of the work is done, just a few final checks needed before release.

[gooneybird]

Here's the final version http://www.mediafire.com/file/aafj181i0i06lgs/DH82.zip/file

Please let me know if you have any problems with it.

I'm assuming due to the lack of interest and downloads these are not what people want in FG

[wkitty42]

i wouldn't say that... i'm planning to add them to a local airport in my area but just haven't gotten around to it yet... i stripped out all my AI lights work until i can find and understand Ian's new AI lights code and start using that with the GA craft i've been playing with at KRDU... right now i'm blind from several hours digging about in executing FG code looking for a bug that keeps crashing me when i try to close a PUI pane

i just downloaded your archive, though... why don't you go ahead and put it up on fgdata with the other ai craft?

[legoboyvdlp]

I downloaded it, and the model is good - perhaps it could be added to some airfield in the UK, like Shoreham?

[gooneybird]

I've been testing them at Shoreham https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=29743&start=1215#p334703

I've not got commit access but I'll create a performance database entry before asking for them to be added to FGdata.

Wanted to download it but the file's no longer on Mediafire.com

[gooneybird]

Depending on the version of FLightGear you are using they may be in your AI/Aircraft folder, If not I have re-enabled the download.

I downloaded & extracted DH82(2) into $FGROOT/Aircraft but it didn't appear in launcher. I had to change permissions of Models and Textures folders but still nothing. I tried terminal:

Code: Select all

 $ fgfs --aircraft=DH82(2)
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

I thought it didn't like the brackets so I renamed it DH82 & tried terminal again:

Code: Select all

$ fgfs aircraft=DH82
FlightGear:  Version 2018.3.1
FlightGear:  Build Type Dev
Built with GNU C++ version 4.8
Jenkins number/ID 0:none
config file not found:Path "aircraft=DH82"


whereupon it carried on & loaded Cessna.

I unzipped DH82-p-kit.zip & got .xcf file then tried ./configure, autoconfig etc. but couldn't get anything to work.

[wkitty42]

$ fgfs --aircraft=DH82\(2\)

parenthesis have meaning for bash so you have to escape them like so...

[legoboyvdlp]

Are you sure that's an aircraft? I thought it was just an AI model for now. Maybe that's why it's not loading up.
