Re: [Flightgear-devel] Yasim glider

2007-01-03 Thread Maik Justus
Hi all,

tonight a nice aerotow was performed (thanks to AJ), some winch starts 
and the J3 as external cargo with the CH47 (thanks to Joacim).

I will do some clean up in the code, and add the gravity force of the tow...

 Hi Heiko,

 I am thinking of  extending the yasim solver to be capable to simulate 
 gliders (now you need a thruster only for the solver).

 But his is not the real aim. I want to add the ability to use ropes. To 
 be used for winch as well as for aerotow.

 Why don't you simply create your glider with the JSBSim FDM that
 already _does_ offer the required features ?

   
I thought the next sentence in my mail is the explanation:

be used for winch as well as for aerotow.

Does JSBSim support winch and aerotow?

 The real challenge is to make it work over MP with a human piloting the
 tow aircraft. (A winch or a towing ground vehicle could by all means
 also be human controlled.)
   
Yes, that is the aim.

 So what's your plan here? Add optional /external/ control of a thruster?
   
Adding a hinch objects to YASim, which can be connected to a tow. The 
other end of the tow can be connected to a fixed position or an 
AI/MP-Object. The length of the tow can be modified (- winch).
 Then it wouldn't matter if it's a towing aircraft being subject to a force
 pulling backwards or a towed aircraft being subject to a force forward.
 Same implementation. 
Yes.
 It would also work the same for helicopter sling
 loads. 
Yes, but we need a cargo-fdm.
 Or towing with mobile ground vehicles.

 But where would the simulation of the towing line go?  (Stretch, drag, bend,
 weight, inertia... weak links?
As a first step I want to simulate the tow with both aircrafts (for 
aerotow). First I only want to simulate weight and stretch.
  A winch wire or a pay-out line doesn't have
 a constant lenght.) It's not a dead object. A towing line can be released
 at either end, by the pilot at each end or by a snapping weak link at each
 end. So it's not really a submodel of any of the objects at the ends of it.
   
Yes. But if it is released by one aircraft, the tow will be ignored by 
the other aircraft.
 I think the tow/airlift wire/line object should be it's own simulation
 instance. -- ?
   
Do you know, if this is already possible in Flightgear?
 And of course, designing gliders per se doesn't require any patching of any
 fdm backend. The yasim solver needs a thruster element for determining
 drag, but the force from that would be the same fwd thrust produced from
 sink rate + mass and the L/D ratio at best glide or min sink. (easily
 calculated) L/D ratio and airspeed for best glide performance, and sink
 rate /airpseed for minimum sink (at a respective weight) are normally
 published data for gliders. Just pretend gravity is not perfectly vertical
 when defining approach and cruise...
   
Yes, you can add a thruster and YASim can simulate glieders as it is. 
But with a very small patch (adding a glide angle to approach and 
cruise) you don't need the thruster fake any longer.

Best regards,
Maik
