Hi,
I am working on some static objects.
I don't know how the dimensions in blender (and in the exported .ac
file) relates to Flightgear units. I don't even know if the Flightgear
works metric or not.
To be able to verify that my objects' dimensions are close to real life,
I thought I would place myself in UFO, first at the base of the object,
and then at the top of the object, and read the altitudes from the
property tree.
My problems with this idea are: I know ctrl-u takes you up vertically,
but it seems to take you up 1000 ft at a time. I could not find (by
trial) any way to go down. Neither to go up in smaller steps.
Is there finer controls for UFO?
Is there another way to achieve what I want (measuring the objects in
Fligtgear scene)?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Yavuz,
nice to hear from another beginner with Blender :-) and I hope you'll
share your models with us (-> Jon Stockills models and objects database).
The UFO has got an improvement by M.Franz to also have low speed for
scenery design purposes. But this does not help you if you are not
compiling FG yourself (as I suppose).
If you are *very* sensible with the controls you might navigate the UFO
to the position where you want to have it - going forw. and backw.
You do know all the controls?
Throttle speed forward
Throttle + Brake ("b" or Joystick Trigger) speed backward
Joystick forward UFO down if speed > 0
backward UFO up " " "
Joystick left UFO rolls left
Joystick right UFO rolls right
Pedals (or "O", key on the numeric keyboard) rotate left, right
An alternative is the "magic carpet" FDM
You can use it with the commandline parameter "--fdm=magic"
I tried it once with the BO105
It has some advantages, you must decide whether it is better for you
than the UFO
Magic carpet:
Joystick forward go down
Joystick backward go up
Joystick left rotate left
Joystick right rotoate right
Throttle forward speed
Throttle + brake backward speed
If you use the BO105 (I did not try another aircraft with the magic
carpet FDM), go to outside view with "v" and have the HUD switched on
"h" then you can quite easily go up and down a building once you are
there and look at the two altitude scales at the right - a normal one
and a spread one (better for you).
OK, have fun
Regards
Georg EDDW
