Author	Topic: Here's a new one, Blown Tires!
Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 12-16- 06:53 AM I've been thinking about working OP to do blown tires and it should be easy. You could slam the ground hard and have the tire literally explode and come apart into several pieces, and then be stuck riding the rim! I'm adding this to my list of things to try. If I can get it to work the way I'm hoping to, I'll work on ALL the tires for all the planes and release a big zip pak for you guys. Starting this weekend I have 10 days off work to stay home and really get intimate with OpenPlane. I hope some of you have some time for yourselves as well for the holidays. This is a big one! The new millenium is only 2 weeks away! [This message has been edited by Pete Hawk (edited 12-16-1999).] IP: Logged
Sv Pilot	posted 12-16- 07:59 AM Tires are not LODS, but wheels are. I guess you could explode the wheel - it would look like the tire blew. Then you could hide the wheel LOD and detach it - it will look like just the tires falls off. Now show a hidden LOD that is a rim only part. ...could work... ------------------ -Sv =FC= WWI in SDOE!

Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 12-16- 11:55 AM K that sounds very interesting. I have one question while we are on the topic of wheels. Why is it when I am taking off and landing the plane is constantly making the skid sound, ALL THE TIME? Even when I am going perfectly straight. IP: Logged
Sv Pilot	posted 12-16- 12:53 PM I think that is because that sound is supposed to be a rolling sound - it just sounds like skid sound I gather that from the name of the sound file... -Sv IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 12-16- 05:43 PM well i guess we should play around with the rolling and skid sound cause i just did a fresh reinstall of SDOE and i never hear the rolling sound IP: Logged
JT Pilot	posted 12-16- 05:46 PM Along these lines, it would be interesting to simulate a fuselage pancaking. The only difficulty, I guess, would be making Openplane understand what sort of impact with the ground would cause that. IP: Logged
Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 12-16- 06:02 PM Fix for the rolling sound! Here's what you need to do. UnBig (Using Parsoft's BigMunger tool, get at www.openplane.com) the Data3.par file into a directory (I used Par3). Copy the Concrete.wav sound and paste it into your SDOE/media/sounds folder. Now, just so you won't here that constant skidding no more, paste another copy of that concrete.wav sound on your desktop and RENAME it to ConcreteSkid.wav Now paste that into your SDOE/media/sounds as well, and no more annoying skid sound! It's unfortunate because I do like skid sounds, but this one was never quite right and would simply "play forever" when on concrete. I just tried this new setup and it works fine. Enjoy. JT, how about if your gear are up (or broken off) you here the pancake sound (belly scraping). It'd be really neat if you could slam down on the deck, here a quick landing "chirp" skid sound, then the gear collapse and it switches to the pancake sound. Hmmmm...

Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 12-16- 07:35 PM Spanky here... K that sounds like a good work around could someone email the sound to me? i'm really hard up for HD space at the moment. about the pancake sound That would be VERY cool one thing we would want it to play the correct sound depending on what it was sliding over, grass, dirt, concrete and change on the fly as you slid. Boy I can't wait for this opensource stuff to start. I bet everytime we suggest somthing it will get implemented pretty damn quick IP: Logged
Bryan Russell Pilot	posted 12-16- 07:50 PM While I was looking at the obBodyPts thing I noticed in the Openplane Doc that it says for CTirePt to make sure that you set the ptMaterial to 'rubber. I checked a few of the aircraft, and there is no ptMaterial definition for the tires Because the ptMaterial defaults to 'concrete, maybe this sound is appropriatte! It might be worth changing a plane that had lots of skid sound, so that its tires are ptMaterial 'rubber and see what happens. IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 12-16- 09:14 PM Spanky here... Thats a good point Bryan, thanks for the heads up. IP: Logged
Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 12-17- 12:13 AM Bryan, that worked! I no longer hear any skid sounds so putting that property in an SM file actually worked. I removed that sound folder with the skid sounds and it still stuck. It'd still be nice to hear a touch down skid upon landing, but oh well. For now this is neat. Nice job!

FarmerJoe Pilot	posted 12-17- 12:59 AM The skid sound is also a very high picthed skid sound even on the bigger bombers...As to my understand the skid sound should be deep. As opposed to a errrrrrr to urrrrrrrrrrrrr(know what I mean?) Oh and about the tire blowin out, it can be done, and be sure to make the rim ptMaterial 'metal =) that way it gets realllly squirly when on the ground. I like. yall take'd easy now FarmerJoe http://members.xoom.com/sdoesbeauts IP: Logged
Kraftwerk Pilot	posted 12-17- 07:09 AM Have a good look at the Ju88a4 sm-file, as it already feels as if its riding its rims already. The feel of the ju88 ground handling is much like riding a car on its rims, which shouldn't be too far from riding a plane on its rims.Heh. IP: Logged
