I would like to put a fence around my local airport. Intuitively I would start by building a 3-D model of a fence (say wire-mesh) of some nominal length (say 5-10m). Then place multiple instances of this fence around the airport. A few issues arise with this approach; 1) on even a short

Re: [Flightgear-users] Helicopter Controls

Well, the basic breakdown goes like this: cyclic (joystick): Controls the pitch of the rotor disk (not the fuselage though) by changing the pitch of individual blades as they go around. This changes how much lateral thrust there is and what direction it is pointed in. collective

It takes a lot of practice, and I suspect that it is harder to fly a helo sim than a real helo, though I don't know. Luckily YASim has a pretty simple helo model so a lot of the really nasty stuff just doesn't happen. The biggest problem that I have had is dynamic rollover. I have also found that

Re: [Flightgear-users] Building Fences

Thanks Ampere, don't want a transparent fence to be the cause of a fatal air accident :-). Would this be compounded per instances of a transparent fence (ie 200x 10m sections would be 200 times the problem of a 1x 2000m section)? Regards Dene From: Ampere K. Hardraade [EMAIL PROTECTED]
