C101 Landing test


Testing the adjusted attitude / CofG changes landing at LEAM (Almeria) 


Here is a version with test equipment to monitor what is happening in more detail (LEGR, Granada)


No flaps stall is just over 14 degrees alpha, 110 knots

Full flaps stall is about 13.5 degrees alpha, 100 knots

For comparison, the stock Cessna manages around 8 degrees alpha on landing

The stock 737  manages around 10 degrees alpha on landing


the latest version is available at

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.

Billboard Objects, again

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
