Looking good ...
If somone has information about how Syd Adams made this simply wonderful panel
of his b1900d, I would love to hear that also.
Hopefully Syd can reply with some of his tricks!
If somone happens to have a working FDM lying around, I would be delighted to
use it.
I would think that you wouldn't be too bad off just starting with a copy
of the B1900 FDM configuration and making changes from there. I suspect
those two aircraft have (roughly) similar performance. Often if you
hunt around the net you can find basic dimensions, weights, fuel
capacities, engine power, and cruise/stall speeds. Armed with those you
can go in and start tweaking values (changing one number at a time and
testing to make sure the solver still solves ...) and it doesn't take
too long before your model is starting to get in the vicinity of where
you'd like it to be. YAsim (which is what the B1900 model uses) is kind
of fun and addicting once you start playing around with it. Of course
there are several JSBsim approaches you can use if you want to move that
direction with your flight dynamics. There is a jsbsim mailing list
where they can help you with specific modeling questions (but be warned
that JSBsim is a bit more complicated compared to YAsim ... JSBsim gives
you the possibility of creating a more accurate model, but you *really*
have to know what you are doing to make adjustments and changes.
What I plan next (in this order):
- controll surface animation
- FDM
- gear animation
- adding more details such as antennas
- texturing
- cockpit
- perhaps some Nasal scripting
Sounds great. If you want to make your model available via the CVS
repository just let me know. You can submit incremental changes as you
progress and others can track your progress (or even help) if they want to.
Regards,
Curt.
