Author	Topic: He he he, Its an Open-Beta Christmas!!!
Aladar Pilot	posted 12-21- 05:25 PM Very early gift, but what the hell. Go to my site and click on FSDOE, and then on the side-bar (the one with the 163.) And enjoy! Flight test and report please! http://flightsimhangar.homestead.com/main.html ------------------ SUICIDE SLED!! Barracuda-%90 "Wie ein floh aber Oh-Ho!" "Don't move, if we scatter, he'll pick us off!

ArgonV Pilot	posted 12-21- 05:41 PM Is this the one with the updated cockpit? IP: Logged
Pachy Pilot	posted 12-21- 05:52 PM hmmm quote: Add this to the startup.ppf file: "aircraft/weapons/JagFaust.sm" Add this to the startup.ppf file: "aircraft/weapons/Trocket.sm" Those SMs aren't in the ZIP... I think your Komet is suffering the same problem as the He162 and the P-39 beta: the main part (ie fuselage)'s geometrical centre is too far forward. It should be around the CG. The result is limited pitch angles, and roll instability. See inthis thread Pete Hawk's description of the problem. Other than that, great! the 3D model is nice, and the landing errr... gear works like a charm. IP: Logged
ArgonV Pilot	posted 12-21- 05:59 PM The 163 flies great! What are you talking about? IP: Logged
Aladar Pilot	posted 12-21- 06:12 PM Whoops! Thanks for the heads up. Will be fixed in a few minutes. IP: Logged
Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 12-21- 06:17 PM Click on the actual picture of the Me-163 to get the zip! I was looking for the words Me-163 and was getting frustrated before trying to click on the picture itself. That CG problem is "kind of" in this one too but it's not as bad as the other plane was. It could be moved back a couple hairs but it does really fly pretty well as is. Thanks Aladar!! [This message has been edited by Pete Hawk (edited 12-22-2000).] IP: Logged
Razer Pilot	posted 12-21- 06:45 PM well, now that aladar has released the plane i can finally post this pic. So aladar, whens the flaps going to be added and the mapping finished? ------------------ Tony "Razer" Martin "Making SDOE a dangerous Place, One plane at a time!"

Aladar Pilot	posted 12-21- 08:09 PM Wow Razer! Looks great! I am working on that now! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD Lookin skin! IP: Logged
Hawk General	posted 12-21- 08:16 PM Wow! I love it! Thanks Aladar you have given SDOE a great Christmas present. We now have a plane that was wished for a long time and one that was also wished for on other sims but not delivered. It flys great and is a blast to watch as it streaks skyward toward the bombers trailing smoke like a rocket. The AI flys it just fine and aims right for the bombers. A couple of questions: do the ailerons move funny? Will the damage modeling include touchy landings with explosion possible? I assume there is no damage modeling yet as the bombers cannot kill it. Something I have noticed that I do not think we can fix. The AI always attacks the bombers by slowing down and trailing behind while firing. In reality they did not do this. Most zoomed and shot, and the jets never hung around they shot by and got off only a couple of rounds. Can we mess with the AI and get the enemy fighters to attack the B-17 correctly? ------------------ Hawk Forum manager and bar keep http://rcwarbirds.com/ IP: Logged
Diego Lozano Pilot	posted 12-21- 09:04 PM This little egg flies great but, like Pachy I'm missing some SMs. Has the file been fixed yet Aladar? IP: Logged
ArgonV Pilot	posted 12-21- 09:42 PM Ive sent an updated SM file to Aladar that fixes the DOFs on the ailerons. Also updated the readme file as it was a tad bit outdated... The AI CTD fuel bug was fixed a while back. IP: Logged
Aladar Pilot	posted 12-21- 10:16 PM Diego, when did you download it? If it was a few minutes or even a few hours ago it should be there. Check in your aircraft folder. IP: Logged
Aladar Pilot	posted 12-21- 10:17 PM Oh yes, the Damage model isn't started yet, and it will have pretty sensitive landings when I'm done with that. I agree, its a pitty the AI slows down to attack. Maybe we should tell the folks at crosswind sims to change that since they have the code. IP: Logged
Diego Lozano Pilot	posted 12-21- 11:04 PM I d/l it just after you posted it. Now I'm getting a "page expired" message when I tried to d/l it. IP: Logged
Aladar Pilot	posted 12-22- 01:00 AM I knew that wouldn't work. Damn, just a sec. IP: Logged
Mighty General	posted 12-22- 01:54 AM Hawk, that's the way the AI works right now. IP: Logged
Hawk General	posted 12-22- 09:25 AM Mighty your choice of words is encouraging. By saying "right now" leads me to believe this might change. IP: Logged
Jaguar Pilot	posted 12-22- 10:39 PM Just reverse the throttle on the AI so when they slow down they actually speed up! AWSOME plane Aladar. Frekin beautiful..... if I do say so myself. IP: Logged
Mighty General	posted 12-23- 01:16 AM Hehe, Hawk. Don't jump to any conclusions. R/C Sim is still Inertia's focus, and there isn't much call for a Boom 'N Zoom AI in that market :-) Hopefully someday. IP: Logged
Jeeves Pilot	posted 12-23- 09:31 AM Aladar... You are a plane making machine Thanks for a great plane that is loads of fun to fly. I do have a question--- what is a Jagdfaust and how would one use it-- I realize they are rockets, but none of my references list it or talk of how to use it. Thanks! ------------------ Brought to you by the campaign for a better Dauntless! Jeeves =FC= IP: Logged
ArgonV Pilot	posted 12-23- 11:56 AM If Aladar updated the zip, the Jagdfaust should now be included. Jagdfaust are upward firing mortars/rockets that are triggered by a shadow when you fly under a plane. SWOTL had then and we tried to re-create it here in SDOE. Look in the readme for the command to arm it. When you get close to a formation of B-17s, arm the Jagdfaust and fly under a B-17 at full speed. Dont fly too close under the B-17, and dont fly too far away under the B-17. It takes about 3 runs to get the gist of it, but its rather simple and sure fire after a few test runs. If you get too close, the explosion from the B-17 blowing up will kill you, and if you fly too far away, it will miss. IP: Logged
Rendsburger Pilot	posted 12-23- 12:32 PM Aladar, AI will fly attack the bombers at high speed, if you you will set the aircVmin to example 440. I�ve tried that out and it works,but then you will get the next trouble,AI fly then like an japanese kamikaze against the bombers. Rendsburger IP: Logged
Aladar Pilot	posted 12-23- 12:42 PM Hey Rendsburger I nevewr thought of that! What a good idea! Jeeves, the Jagdfaust was a system devised at the end of the war to deal with the incredible closing speeds. The germans developed a light sensitive panel that would trigger the 10 shells in the wing roots when the shadow of a bomber would pass over the cell. It was a real success, but entered too late in the war. IP: Logged
Jeeves Pilot	posted 12-23- 10:35 PM Wow-- looks like another great addition to SDOE from the A & A team. I will have to try that out. Thanks guys...now if we can only get you guys to work on some US Pacific planes Hmm...maybe an Avenger or Devastator? I mean c'mon-- ya made the torpedo already I had to ask somebody else as Jaguar never returns my phone calls about the Avenger ------------------ Brought to you by the campaign for a better Dauntless!

ArgonV Pilot	posted 12-24- 12:41 AM But Aladar IS working on the Barracuda. Ive had a peak at this plane, and you will be amazed when it is released! Hehehe... the "A & A team" I like that. We produced the Mistel, I helped on the Komet a bit and Aladar has helped me out on various occasions! Cheers Aladar! IP: Logged
Aladar Pilot	posted 12-24- 01:33 AM Cheers ArgonV!! Yep, we make a good team. The Mistel, Me163, all sorts. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... the A-Team. The Barracuda is coming alon nicely. IP: Logged
Jeeves Pilot	posted 12-24- 11:35 AM Hmmm.. you got me thinking.... A for ArgonV A for Aladar A for Avenger Coincidence? I think not.... ------------------ Brought to you by the campaign for a better Dauntless! Jeeves =FC= IP: Logged
