Dan, one more question (according G-Force)

[She_Da_Lier]

Could you please reveal a bit of code you used for front wheel controll? I tried to implement it in my DGTransport, but it
isn't good after all. As you are working on DeltaGlider as well, it should be fitting well for DGT too. TIA.

A minor nitpick, but your animated gif has management spelled wrong.

you might want to slow it down when it displays the url a bit more.

[She_Da_Lier]

Ah well....

It's meant to be clickable, you have url under the pic

It displays to fast to someone notice it. Also mind my English

[Travis Reed]

The addon is also misspelled on the main forum and OH (or wherever I've seen it posted...)...at least the misspelling is
consistent.

[Travis Reed]

She, the pic isn't clickable, but, then again, I don't think Dan's site allows that in sigis or posts...
And yes, I see the link in your sigi and the Www link next to your name.

[She_Da_Lier]

I know this forum doesn't allow this, I'm only saying it's meant to be clickable

[She_Da_Lier]

So we went of topic. Dan??

[DanSteph]

will reply soon but I'm busy with OS and DGIII yet

Oooohhh.

Is that a hint that you're also working on the DG3 right now?

ooOoOoOhhh. you sly thing, you

(hopes for an OS/DG3 dual release)

(hopes for an OS/DG3 duel release)

YOU LUCKY MAN ! ! !  -Wooo!~

[Travis Reed]

Freespace...minor nitpick, but you used the wrong spelling of dual...
Where duel usually referrs to a one-on-one fight of some sort, dual usually refers to two things.
Perhaps you tried taking the spelling from duet (usually refers to two people)?
Isn't American English wonderful?

[freespace2dotcom]

I suppose I deserved to get nit-picked on, after what I had done earlier in this thread.

yes, yes. I type in a rush and ocasionally I make boo-boos. no biggie,.

[She_Da_Lier]

Dan, as we are on topic, would you mind if I'd borrow your transworld skin as a skinning demo?

[She_Da_Lier]

* just that you won't forget *

[DanSteph]

Ah good that you recall it to me... I'm still busy but with http://www.fspassengers.com this time


here is the "brut code"

Code: [Select]


// Ground taxiing
if(Data.OldOnGround==TRUE)
{
double steerforce;
double steerangle;

if(Data.AirSpeed<50&&Data.AirSpeed>0)
{
steerforce = (50-Data.AirSpeed);
if (steerforce > 40) steerforce = 40.0;

if(Data.AirSpeed<6)
{
steerforce*=(Data.AirSpeed/6);
}
if(Data.AirSpeed<1)
{
steerforce*=0;
}
steerforce*= 10000;
steerangle = GetControlSurfaceLevel (AIRCTRL_RUDDER);
steerforce = steerforce * steerangle;
if(Data.NewOnGround==TRUE&&Data.ThrusterLevelHover==0)
{
AddForce (_V(steerforce, 0, 0), _V(0, 0, 12.0));
AddForce (_V(-steerforce, 0, 0), _V(0, 0, -24.0));
}
}
if(Data.NewOnGround==TRUE&&Data.ThrusterLevelHover==0)
{
double wheelanglefactor=(50-Data.AirSpeed)/50;
// animate rotation of nosewheel
SetAnimState (anim_gear_rotate,((GetControlSurfaceLevel (AIRCTRL_RUDDER)*wheelanglefactor)/2+0.5));
}
else
{
SetAnimState (anim_gear_rotate,0.5);
}

// collpase gear if we are too fast
if(Data.AirSpeed>220)
{
SetFailure(FAILGEARCOLLAPSE,TRUE);
SetFailure(FAILHOVERENGINE,TRUE);
}
}

No problem, only a litle credit somewhere would be nice

[She_Da_Lier]

Thanks very much

[DocHoliday]

sheesh.. that's just to TURN THE WHEELS!!

[freespace2dotcom]

What's really scary is that I understood most of it.

But seriously, that's what? a small fraction of the whole DG3 code.

[DocHoliday]

Me too and yes, that's what I was trying to emphasize

[freespace2dotcom]

Emphasize that a handful lines of code are a small fraction of the whole thing?

so?

anyone can come to that conclusion.

Better yet, take a look at this:  (four lines to simply add something. computers are like that)



can anyone tell me where the answer is supposed to be?

[DocHoliday]

Yes, yes *doc leans over to free* I was trying to SUBTLY point out in appreciation the amount of work Dan put into
DG3, without going into the "Hail Dan" frenzy, but now you've ruined it* duh!

Seems to me, you're too lazy to add 1 and 1 together, here or something along those lines

[freespace2dotcom]

meh..

I was just using that as an example, but things get very complex very fast.

I should note that all of the numbers in that mode, are in hexadecimal.

[DocHoliday]

damn, I thought they were inches

There are only 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary,
and those who don't

Was just because I have nothing better to do right now
