So far, I've been using the Bo105 as the aircraft (and have it flying
around from pre-recorded data), but I am unable to get the rotors turning
with the fdm being external. The only way I can get them turning is by
editing the properties in the drop down menu. Basically, I adjust
rotors.main.rpm to be 350 and rotors.tail.rpm to be 600 and it all looks
good. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get the rpm to be
derived from the native_fdm data (like maybe mapped to one of the engine_rpm
parameters contained in the native_fdm format)?
These are the settings that I'm currently using for replay purposes, i.e.
if there's no FDM controlling the bo. Setting state=2 turns on the sound
loop, the rpm settings switch to rotor disc (as opposed to single visible
blades), rotor-step-deg animates the rotor disc (angle added ten times
per second). You can easily make the rotor animation more sophisticated for
the replay case. (See $FG_ROOT/Aircraft/bo105/Models/bo105.nas). shadow=0
turns off the fuselage shadow, and the other settings do what they pretend
to do. Some of them do only work for the bo105 from today's cvs!
Current TODO list:
- some more detail (wire cutter, antennas, etc.)
- texturing outside
- interior detail (including (co-)pilot, both of which can be made invisible)
- more custom instruments
- realistic turbine stuff and startup procedure
