Second Beta release of Aviojet


Climbing out from Armilla (LEGA)


Edit: this was released on December 3, 2017 at the .org site HERE


It is an XP10 version, following a request from the Spanish forum. Hopefully, it should also work in XP11.

I'm pretty convinced that this aircraft does NOT have an autopilot.  Nevertheless, I appreciate that one would be handy for development work so I have added some "helpers".  This is a separate object model called "ap_bits.obj". It will be removed before the final version is put out for distribution.


It uses the following DataRefs:

sim/cockpit/autopilot/airspeed
sim/cockpit2/autopilot/autothrottle_enabled

 sim/cockpit/autopilot/heading_mag
sim/cockpit2/autopilot/heading_status

 sim/cockpit/autopilot/altitude
sim/cockpit2/autopilot/altitude_hold_status[0]

 sim/cockpit/autopilot/vertical_velocity
sim/cockpit2/autopilot/vvi_status

 sim/cockpit2/autopilot/flight_director_mode

If you want to use any AP functionality, you will still need to figure out a way to change these variables.  Simplest is probably the keyboard, for example:

Numpad-9 <NONE> sim/autopilot/airspeed_up
Numpad-3 <NONE> sim/autopilot/airspeed_down
S CTRL sim/autopilot/autothrottle_toggle

 Numpad-6 <NONE> sim/autopilot/heading_up
Numpad-4 <NONE> sim/autopilot/heading_down
H CTRL sim/autopilot/heading

 Numpad-8 <NONE> sim/autopilot/altitude_up
Numpad-2 <NONE> sim/autopilot/altitude_down
A CTRL sim/autopilot/altitude_hold

 A <NONE> sim/autopilot/servos_toggle

. . . etc

Chinook Animated

Image
A Boeing CH-47 Chinook as an animated scenery object. Use WED to place it in your scenery. It flies a left hand circuit over 80 seconds from and to where you place it. By default it flies to the west.   Rotate it in WED to suit. Download here: https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/54105-chinook-animated/ Note: The source AC3D 3D-model file is included.  It is GPL licensed freeware so you can modify and redistribute it however you want to. Swap the airframe type, change the livery, modify the flight plan, include it in your own scenery distributions . . . whatever   😎   No need to ask my permission. Liveries + paint kit added as an additional download.   Swap out the " CH47_fuselage.png " graphic file in the H47-animated folder for the one you want to use. Put the "H47-animated" folder that you downloaded into the airport where you want to use it, for example: Then, open this airport in WED and choose Local (NOT Library) and you should be able to

Billboard Objects, again

Image
A billboard object is something that always points towards the viewer.  These are common in FlightGear but have no apparent equivalent in X-Plane. Here is my way of getting them to work.  There are two separate objects here - one for internal and one for external views (each called "mainScreen"). For internal, you need to allow for the viewpoint plus the heading of the aircraft. Externally, the aircraft heading does not matter. The hide animations switch between the two versions. This is the hierarchy in the AC3D source for the model. Anything hidden/locked does not get exported to the X-Plane .obj format model file. Here is another version to show the seaparate animations. The left-hand palm tree is set for permanent view with the EXTernal animations. ( only sim/graphics/view/pilots_head_psi ) The right-hand palm tree is set for permanent view with the INTernal animations. ( sim/graphics/view/pilots_head_psi plus sim/flightmodel/position/mag_psi ) The central one switches au
