[Flightgear-devel] YASim sliding helicopters bug (+ ugly fix)

2009-02-02 Thread Melchior FRANZ
Ever since helicopter support was added to the YASim FDM there's an annoying bug: even when parked, with rotor off and braked, helicopters slide happily around on the ground. Andy knows about it and explained why it happens, but claims that there's nothing to be fixed in the FDM code. Instead, he

Hardly. I can adjust static masses, but not all the additional loads. They just are where they are in real life. More or less. That's why I gave up this idea real fast -- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge

In JSBSim we got around it differently by filtering the gear forces (and other parameters) at the frame rate, which significantly reduces the jitter, and by also attenuating gear forces (correctly) at low velocity. This requires some tuning on a per-aircraft basis, but when given the proper
