Flying-Cat, Hot Air Balloon series Development for FlightGear

in utopian-io •  7 years ago  (edited)

Introduction

FlightGear (http://www.flightgear.org) is an open source flight simulator that is even used in flight schools to train basic maneuvers, radio communication and navigation tasks. It is available for windows, mac and linux.

In this article I want to introduce my latest development of the Flying-Cat, a series of Hot Air Balloons.

Bug Fixes

By starting the simulation the decision height indicator gives a warning signal.
I fixed it by adding a setlistener:

setprop("/sim/signals/fdm-ready", 0);
var fdmready = maketimer(3, func {
if (getprop ("/sim/time/elapsed-sec") > 10 )
setprop("/sim/signals/fdm-ready", 1);
});
fdmready.start();

with a new property

< int type="int" n="8" alias="/sim/signals/fdm-ready" />

and in the sound file this property is checked.

< condition>
< and>
< less-than>
< property>/position/ground-altitude< /property>
< property>/instrumentation/altimeter/decision-height< /property>
< /less-than>
< equals>
< property>sim/multiplay/generic/int[8]< /property>
< value>1< /value>
< /equals>
< /and>
< /condition>

New Features

A new 3D model of a penguin is added. With full animation of deformation of the balloon depending on temperature and pressure.

Everything is luxurious I will see if I can use that program

I've downloaded FlightGear - Flight Simulator game 1.5 GB today, a lot of beautiful simulators, I love plane simulators, I've seen some of your sites, I love it a lot,
thanks for sharing

thank you sir

Das warn noch Zeiten, als ich Flugsimulatoren aufm Pc hatte, müsst ich echt mal wieder machen!

Wenns Fragen gibt, weißt du ja wo du fragen kannst :)
Ist nicht ganz trivial unser FlightGear.

Aufjedenfall, danke dir :) Einen schönen Sonntag, wünsche ich noch ;)

looks like a good one to try.. I have never tried this before.
Highly appreciates your effort @schamangerbert
Cheers!

Nice collection of ballons. Do 3D model makers and designers have any workshops or even competitions? I think you would be successful in it.

all hot air ballon looks fantastic and being development of flight gear to help for the learner.

that proyect look so cool

I like it is a programing
