Re: [Flightgear-devel] Excellent new J3 Cub model

2010-04-13 Thread Detlef Faber
Truely an excellent model. I've just dug out an adaption of the Cub to
the new(er) YaSim engine configuration  I once made and ran it through
Melchiors YaSim Importer. The new FDM config can be found here:

sol2500.net/flightgear/files/Cub_FDM.xml

Maybe someone with Cub flying experience can comment. 
I'd like to commit it if David agrees.


Greetings

I always do cvs -z3 update -d -P, but when I replied, I hadn't checked
to see if it was still on my machine (it's not).

Should we also set up j3cub as an alias, to provide a smooth
transition for anyone who had the old Cub as his/her default aircraft,
or is that just being overly solicitous? :)


Thanks,


David

It is already removed from CVS. It's just a matter of running cvs up -Pd 
to also remove it from your local repository.

[Flightgear-devel] Excellent new J3 Cub model

No, pull the old one.  It was a lot of fun to build, and was (I think)
our second taildragger, when we were still figuring out how to model
gear, but there's no reason to keep it around now.

I'd love to make this new model our default aircraft, as the real J3
has been for so many tens of thousands of new student pilots
historically, but the taildragger thing might scare away users.

A couple of queries about the (most excellent) new model:

1. Shouldn't there be some kind of an inclinometer (slip-skid ball) on
the panel?  I think I've seen one in most J3 panel photos, and it's
pretty useful.

2. Where's the black lightning bolt on the side? (That's just a joke
-- I actually think it's cool that we're not following the cliché
here).


All the best,


David
