Hi Durk I have converted it to AC3D to allow me to move it around. It appears that for what ever reason everything is coming out left handed,eg the wings horizontal and vertical stab are all showing as left hand pieces.My guess is it is something Ampere has or has not set at his end.Because I am sure I have seen 3DS models in FG before with no problems.

Will this be an issue for our *nix users or do the latest distros all include some form of openal? I was a little dismayed to discover this too. I think the distros tend to just release a cvs snapshot can call it something like libopenal-2003020200 for the MMDDHH they did the check out. OpenAL definitely has some "management" annoyances. Other gripes are changes in the API between, uhhh, "versions", and unexplainable API differences between platforms. But, it's got a lot to offer at the same time so I still think it's worth using.

Hi Jon, That was me. The problem was that upon initialization the aircraft tumbles over and settles on the runway with a bang. Innis Cunningham discovered that we could solve the problem in part by moving the main gears and CoG forward to 850 units or less. We have a version in cvs now which still shows the problem.

[Flightgear-devel] FlightGear news letter
For an upcoming newsletter article I am [hopefully] writing an introduction to modeling aircraft flight dynamics in YASim. For a subsequent issue of the newsletter I think I'd like to walk the reader through the process of creating a specific aircraft model in YASim. I have borrowed a POH for a Super King Air 200/200C which gives a *ton* of great information for modeling the aircraft's flight dynamics, so I think this would make a great candidate for this exercise. (It would be nice to have a few more turboprops in flightgear, and the king air is just a really cool design and would be good to have anyway.) So my question is this. Are there any 3D modelers out there who would be interested in participating in this exercise by creating a (or adapting an existing?) 3D model for the King Air 200 and animating/texturing it? I don't know if there is any 3d models from MSFS land we could get permission to use/adapt? Is there anyone who would like to do a 2D or 3D cockpit? We have a nice 2D cockpit for a Beech 99 (which is similar) so that might serve as a reasonable starting point. At the end of the article, after the reader has walked through the process of building a king air dynamics model, it would be great if they could then drop it in with a nice 3d model and cockpit and go and fly it. If we wanted, these efforts to build the 3d model and cockpit could be documented and turn into sister articles for the newsletter, but that wouldn't be strictly necessary. Any one interested in collaborating on this? Let me know. Thanks!

[Flightgear-devel] animation troubles
I'm having trouble getting some animations that used to work to function with 0.9.4 (recent CVS, actually). I know that the animations should work, here is an example of one that used to work but doesn't. I haven't changed anything, except the .ac file. The objects definitely exist, and definitely have multiple faces. Where should I look to find this problem?

Cool! This is a huge improvement already: http://members.chello.nl/d.talsma/md11-model-2.jpg I'm still seeing a bit of a displacement to the right on some parts. Most notably the wing flaps and some parts of the tail engine. Cheers, Durk On Friday 07 May 2004 23:29, Ampere K.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] MD-11
Hi Guys Yep beat me this time but then I have to sleep.LOL Great model Ampere. I hope you can texture it from 3DS because when I converted it to AC3D the file went from 120K to 1.2 meg and wound not reduce in size.I dont know if this has to do with any LOD structures you may have created.Did you intend converting it to texture it??.

I think 3DS uses binary to store the data while AC3D uses ascii. That may explain why the file is huge after conversion. > Did you > intend converting it to texture it??. I can apply the textures in 3D Studio. To be honest, I don't have much experience on doing textures. However, I don't think I will have much problems "creating" the textures since the logo for various airlines can be found on Google. =P Speaking of textures, what format does FlightGear support? Must the textures size be on the power of 2 (2x2, 4X4, 16X16, 32X32...) or can it be of random size?
