[Flightgear-devel] Update to the C-182

2006-05-20 Thread Buchanan, Stuart
Hi All,

I've been working on an update to the c182. Improvements over previous
version:

- Increase in texture resolution and improved textures. Now has a nice
blue pin-stripe down the side.
- Minor model improvements - pitot tube, wing struts, exhausts,
cowl-flaps, re-size of controls.
- Addition of pilot model (see other post).

Available from http://www.nanjika.co.uk/flightgear/c182.tar.gz

I got interested in this update as I hopefully will soon have a
briefing for the C182Q ("D-EVOS"). I found applying the patch to result
in a difficult task, because I had to arrange the correct mix of DOS
line endings and Unix line endings to make 'patch' happy. Finally
'patch' survived but the result got rejected by FlightGear ("could not
read aircraft from Aircraft/c182/Models/c182-dpm.xml" or something like
that).

Would you consider removing all DOS line endings from the '.xml' and
'.ac' files and creating a new patch ?

Cheers,
Martin.

cvs.flightgear.org is currently unreachable, and I'm going to be out of
town for the next week, so I've cleaned the files, tarred the entire
Aircraft/c182 directory and uploaded it to
http://www.nanjika.co.uk/flightgear/c182.tar.gz.

Just replace your c182 directory and you should be good to go.

Note that it has a dependency on the pilot model patch
(http://www.nanjika.co.uk/flightgear/pilot.tar.gz), but this can be easily
removed by editing c182-dpm.xml and removing the model on line 79.

Let me know what you think.

I simply removed the complete references to the pilot both in
'Models/c182-dpm.xml' as well as to 'pilot.nas' in 'c182-set.xml'
because I was unwilling to deal with another pilot for now  :-)
The aircraft looks fine to me - at least better as the first one,
the yellow lines at the model edges have disappeared in your update.

Still I think there's room for improvement:
1.) The nose of the aircraft looks a bit 'flat', when compared for
example to this one:
  http://www.texelairport.nl/fotogroot/D-EVOS.jpg (C182Q)
or even this one (the README says FlightGear has this type)
  http://www.linzaviation.com/images/flotte_c182_large.jpg (C182S)
2.) I guess this is not affected by your work on the model, still I
don't want to miss the chance: I'd expect such a small aircraft
with a 230 HP engine to run a bit faster than 120 kts at full
throttle at a few 1000 feet.

Cheers,
Martin.
