[Flightgear-devel] non-GPL triplane model
For a period of time, I have put a non-GPL external model of the Fokker triplane here: http://www.aae.uiuc.edu/m-selig/tmp/fkdr1.tar The files on the tarball are: [1315] ~/fgfs/work/fgfsbase-0.8.0/Aircraft> tar -tvf fkdr1.tar fkdr1/Models/fokdr1mp.0af fkdr1/Models/fokdr1mp.1af fkdr1/Models/fokdr1mp.2af fkdr1/Models/fokdr1mp.3af fkdr1/Models/fokdr1mp.4af fkdr1/Models/fokdr1mp.5af fkdr1/Models/fokdr1mp.6af fkdr1/Models/fokdr1mp.7af fkdr1/Models/fokdr1mp.8af fkdr1/Models/fokdr1mp.9af fkdr1/Models/fokdr1mp2.mdl fkdr1/Models/fokdr1m2-model.xml fkdr1/Models/fokrdr1mp2.txt If anyone wants to try this out, put the tarball in $FG_ROOT/Aircraft/ and from the $FG_ROOT/Aircraft/ dir, do > tar -xvf fkdr1.tar Then once the fkdr1 model starts up, there should be a red triplane. It has some minor issues w/ plib (a hole in the fuse side and tail) Regards, Michael ** Prof. Michael S.

David,
Here's a patch to fix the offsets bug. The problem was the transform was just
getting added to a local instance rather than being returned by the function.

This is really weird. I've just taken the 747 for a spin. I was lined up for an approach at Oakland and I thought I'd have a look at the external model When the gear is down, it is shown as up.

..to get the _cool_ ones, especially after Michaels Red Baron TV show,
we might want to set up guidelines for say, the EAA membership on how to
add their aircraft to FG. ('http://eea.org/') Some will work from
built, photographed and flight tested aircraft, some off raw sketches
and anywhere in between. I like these to "talk" with all fdm's.
