Re: moving onto a new stage of life
Re: moving onto a new stage of life Hi guysReally dont have too much time to make an intro for what Im about to bring here, so Ill just do what I can.Ive cleaned up a recording from last nights flight about as clean as it gets aside all the noise, and its ready for your listening.This recording is a microphone strapped to the underside of the quadcopter.Also, the last 30 or so seconds of the recording was the light on the recording unit pulsing to let me know that the memory was running low, since it can only record about an hour of content.Enjoy!https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/954 … 112014.mp3 URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=197240#p197240 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: moving onto a new stage of life
Re: moving onto a new stage of life Hi, :d1: Do you know what flanging is? The quicker the flange, the lower to the ground the aircraft is, not just for quadcopters either.If you ever hear a mainstream aircraft such as a commercial airliner or otherwise, you will notice some flange to the aircrafts sound.This is what I use to judge altitude, however it is not full proof.For direction you just use the standard panning listening skills you know and love in audio games.2: Outside the scope of the recording, but I usually have someone with me. If it is new area such as a new flying field, I am told what is around me, and what to look for when flying at certain altitudes.I usually practice in a soccer field or some such large open field where I may experiment.I dont know if I specified, but the machine I am flying is a blade 350qx version II.It has a great deal of technology built into the craft.The difference between a normal copter and a quadcopter?<br / >As you know, a conventional helicopter usually uses two rotary spinning propellers. One for the tail, and one larger main propeller.There are what are called coaxial helicopters which move much slower and are recommended for beginners to the hobby.The design is still much the same, however, there are two instead of one main propeller. I believe both spin in opposing directions.Tricopters are as you guessed it, powered by 3 propellers.And quadcopters are 4, hexicopters are 6, up to I believe even 10 bladed copters?The nice thing is above 6 bladed copters, you have redundancy, if one propeller has a mishap IE stops spinning or breaks, you are not exactly a rock falling out of the sky.Also, to add to some confusion, yes, for example, my particular quadcopter has a return to home switch or trigger depending on what you want to call it.It depends on the controller or often called tx you use. And the quadcopter as well. If they both support it, y ou can assign a channel to perform return to home.Some quadcopters do in fact have a take off trigger you can program with your remote, but I find that to be cheating.Also, the propellers are 8.125 inch proprietary hard plastic, spun by 1100 kv out runner brushless motors.This quadcopter can really move if I ask it to, but Im not quite ready for that yet, lol.Ive also done something interesting, I went ahead and clipped a microphone to the underside of the thing, and flew it. Right now Im in the process of cleaning it up.

Re: moving onto a new stage of life
Re: moving onto a new stage of life Hi.[[wow]]. I have just heard a bit of the recording, which opened up some questions:1: How do you know if the altitude is decreasing or increasing? And how do you know when youre flying strait2: How do you avoid flying into buildings and trees?Im interested to hear more about the sensors youre using. Is this a home build copter? Whats the differences between a normal copter and a quad copter? Here in Denmark, people are going crazy with different types of quad copters. Some of the reviews says some of the quad copters are very easy to fly, and some of them does even have a take off and a landing button on the controller.I have only looked at the indoor copters, because I live in a town where out door copters are no go. The wind will just blow them up on the roofs and theyll get stuck.It doesnt sounds like the quad copter is flying very fast, which makes me ask if the rotors are very big?And last question: How do you callibrade the thing on your own?Well, sorry for all those questions, but I hope youll take the time to answer those.

Re: moving onto a new stage of life
Re: moving onto a new stage of life FYI I dont believe militaries tend to use armed quadcopters.That said Im glad youre managing to fly it so well and are enjoying doing it. Itd be interesting if you could keep us informed with how youre doing.

Re: moving onto a new stage of life
Re: moving onto a new stage of life Omar, well, I hope you have fun flying your copters and I guess we will see you round here and there sometime. In the mean time it has been nice knowing you, and best of luck wherever life takes you from here.

Re: moving onto a new stage of life
Re: moving onto a new stage of life Hi guys,Today as of writing this message, I went out and flew twice.The first recording was total crap I really didnt like the way I did that round anyway, so I went ahead and recorded myself the second time and uploaded it to dropbox.Its about 24 minutes long, so there is a little bit of fun in there, a bit of pre flight checks, calibration, and practice.We start off inside my house disconnecting the battery from the charger, and I talk my way through most things I end up doing.Btw sorry about my really crappy sound quality. My good recording gear I gave to a friend who is a local musician, he had a show that night so I was stuck with a crappy recorder. Thankfully I get it back tomorrow morning.That aside, here is the recording.https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/954 … 032014.mp3I really enjoyed that flight, :dHope you guys like it!

Re: moving onto a new stage of life
Re: moving onto a new stage of life Well Omar, the quad copter thing does sound like a lot of fun, though I dont really see what this has to do with games. So you have a new passion in life and games seem boring beside it. Fare enough, when Im at music school or working on my passion for on stage performance I dont do games either. Where as bladestorm however had a reason to abandon games because theyd become addictive to him, ie, interfered with too much else in his life in a negative way, it just sounds like your interests have changed for the moment. This is fine, and all part of life and change, sinse after all there are a lot of other worth while things in the world to do besides games, however not a reason to start the goodbye, I will be leaving forever and you will never see me again because this part of my life is over sort of resolution. After all it is conceivable you might fancy gaming again in the future, and theres no point backing yourself into a corner with promises if you do. Equally you might not, and thats okay as well.So, Ill wish you luck with the quad copters, that does sound fun, but Id rather say so long than goodbye, you shal never see me again and I would perhaps suggest that unless you have another reason for stopping gaming, such a cutoff probably isnt a good idea, after all you dont want to start feeling youve let yourself down or that your going backwards to a part of your life that should be over just because you might feel like picking up a game in the future.

Re: moving onto a new stage of life
Re: moving onto a new stage of life agreed.When I was young, I loved gaming. I lived for audiogames, and that was my life. Muds, audiogames,, text games, the bit.When I got to college last year, that seemed to taper off. I had a new life. But I knew I didnt want to close the chapter of my life.Now Im in my second year. I seem to have picked up gaming again. Not as much as when I was young (maybe half hour a day), but it gives me something to do. Its a fun thing for me to do: escape into my apartment bedroom and just play some games to let off steam. I play some of the new ones, but love my old favourites as well that I played as a child.

Re: moving onto a new stage of life
Re: moving onto a new stage of life Greetings,Thank you for the kind replies.At this moment my knowledge is still young, so I do not know where my talent will take me.Who knows it could just crash land like I did the hundreds of times.Im performing this coming Saturday in front of some bigshots and Ive been practicing quite a lot.When it is created, I will inform you of the dedicated adventures of shuteye-pilot twitter handle. I would like to make sure this is going to go somewhere though, before I do that.at times yes, I do game still, but only when I am absolutely bored.Which doesnt usually happen since I have a small quadcopter to practice things in scale. To give you an idea of how small it is, you can hold it quite comfortably in the palm of your hand.Oh and today I bent a propeller backwards during an emergency landing, yay.
