Hi Andy, Thanks for that! So just to clarify -- this is a bug in Yasim code (or more like a missing feature) and I'm welcome to fix it? :) Cheers, Vik On 07/05/2012 09:34 PM, Andy Ross wrote: > (Happened to be browsing in time to see a question) > > On 07/05/2012 06:21 AM, Viktor Radnai wrote:

The plane gets pushed either forward or backwards by the wind, depending on the wind direction. The prop seems to only get turned in the direction of normal rotation, even in a tailwind, which seems wrong to me. But really the main issue for me is that this amount of wind should not move the ai

Technically, you also have the compression of the wheels -- when the wheel turns, part of the tire in the front gets compressed while the back gets uncompressed. This is also a friction loss. Plus there is some friction between the rubber and the road. But my point is that the amount of frictio

[Flightgear-devel] Yasim static friction?

2012-07-05 Thread Viktor Radnai
Hi all, I have a Yasim question I can't figure out from the documentation. We're working on the sf25b and noticed that both that, and the Grob g109 (which is a similar aircraft so we use it to reference things) seem to suffer from "lack of static friction". I might be misinterpreting the issue
