Yep. The compnent based model means that i have a wing component that can be used in models. For example rudder and elevator are just instances of wing component with smaller size and located at back of the plane. All components compute force caused by them and apply them to the ODE bodies. > Can your FDM spin? Yes. The wing component is quite simple and calculates the force only at the center of the wing. In future i plan to calculate force at wing root and tip and if they are different enough calculate more points recursively. > Do you model downwash and wing tip vortices? Not yet. > You model airframe flexing and breaking up? Flexing not yet, but it'll be easy to add because all components can be joined together by ODE's joints. Breaking up is supported but not used yet. If a component thinks it should break up, it can call its disconnect() method which disconnects the component (and its subcomponents) from parent. > ..booooooooooo, no Twiki read access at > http://arcade.ton.tut.fi/twiki/bin/viewauth > for "user TWikiGuest with password guest." Sorry.

Yes except that currently most components use OSG for visualization. Also i think that it would be possible to encapsulate a stand-alone fdm in a component. > ..chk the license for each, it's all GPL compatible, but some guys here > has been worried about GPL being too restrictive and has made use of > the LGPL and a few has even released a coupla things into the public > domain (mostly interplatform network protocol stuff, AFAIR). Ok, sounds good. > ..welcome onboard. ;o) Thanks. I'm not a expert on aerodynamics or physics but someone's got to do it ;) -- -- Ville Ranki oh3gbq [EMAIL PROTECTED] 040-757 2533 http://www.vip.fi/~cosmo/ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
