Which FDM? There are three (count 'em) descriptions of where the
Cessna 310 wheels are relative to the aircraft coordinate origin --
the model's, JSBSim's, and YASim's. My guess is that none of them
agree.
Regarding the models coordinates, there is a way to do it without
trial and error for every plane, see my homepage. I am just in the
process of cleaning up and of looking into 0.79 and the current cvs
version in this regard. I will be done by the weekend and announce
here. If you can not wait:
1. My description omits that you have to press 3 before creating the
ppeloc
2. By error, the ppeloc is written into the qhull directory
3. I am still investigating whether the new fgfs versions have the
model in another spatial place than old versions. Old versions had
magic numbers 5 degress and 1.61 z-offset that you had to subtract
from the real values to get the FGFS values. Does anyone know whether
they changed? What units are the vertex coordinates in? Meters? Feet?
Just yesterday I recreated the measuring rod I use to measure fgfs
to get these magic numbers. If people are interested, i can publish
it.
BTW, FWIW, if you import *.MDL models directly into fgfs, which is
possible with 0.79 (and was not possible when I started my homepage),
then they are smooth.
