Request UMMU Compatible Helicopter?

bell 222 and airwolf

 

[gattispilot]

ok almost done. Really the only thing left is the sounds. I can get the sound of the blades to increase by hover thrust amount. Sound good. but when at idle or start when thrust level is 0 no sound. So I have it play softly if thrustlevel is 0. But I have run into a sound issue. It can't find the wav.

But I have run into a sound issue. It can't find the wav.

Did you try adding ".wav" in the code to the file names of the custom sounds?

The Explorer is set to hide file extensions, but it doesn't mean they aren't really there.

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks. Now it sees them but not playing them.

PlayVesselWave(BELL222Gear,NOLOOP,255);

Does nothing

Give this a try. Still working on the airwolf version

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rmin6wsf8t0p01e/4t6CZrECrR

I removed Payload Manager as it caused CTD with LauchMFD

K starts g gear

Uses UMMU and SOUND4.0

________________________
On the airwolf Iam stumped. It uses basically the same code. But I can't get the MFD and hud to work in the VC.

HUD is flagged 2 in the mesh

bool AIRWOLF2::clbkLoadVC(int id)
{
 VCHUDSPEC hud;
 VCMFDSPEC mfd;
 
 //Virtual cockpit elements
 if((id>=0)&&(id<1)){
  if(id==0){
   SetCameraDefaultDirection(_V(0,0,1));
   SetCameraOffset(_V(.48,-.5,4.7));
   SetCameraShiftRange(_V(0,0,0.1),_V(-0.2,0,0),_V(0.2,0,0));
   oapiVCSetNeighbours(-1,-1,-1,-1);

   hud.nmesh=1;
   hud.ngroup=116;//hud
   hud.hudcnt=_V(0, 0, 0);
   hud.size=.25;
   oapiVCRegisterHUD(&hud);
   mfd.ngroup=115;//center front
   mfd.nmesh=1;
   oapiVCRegisterMFD(0,&mfd);
   mfd.ngroup=114;//center rear edcc
   mfd.nmesh=1;
   oapiVCRegisterMFD(1,&mfd);
    }
 }
 return 1;
}

Hey John is there anyway you eventually could make Kev Shanows NASA Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane
Ummu,and Ucgo compatable,and also add a crane and,nav,strobe,spotlights too?

 

[gattispilot]

Actually start on it back here:
http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=28725&page=6

It has UMMU not really need for UCGO as it can't carry cargo inside.

It has the nav lights. crane to attach. Not sure on spot lights though. PM me what you want and I'll see what I can come up with.

Gattispilot: can you post this bell222 on something that doesn't require registering. There are lot of sites for that.

 

[gattispilot]

Yes. Can you tell me one. and I will do it ASAP

 

[Loru]

dropbox?

 

[gattispilot]

OK try this:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rmin6wsf8t0p01e/4t6CZrECrR

I am redo the skycrane. Adding doors and changing rotor/disc

 

[Loru]

hmm - no joy:

Opps. Sorry try this

Amazing !!!!

Just took it for a spin around LC39 and VAB
Handing it is a bit tricky and I'll need more training but I must say I really impressed.

It handles just like in my opinion helicopter should handle, flight characteristics feel very nicea and I'm adding it to CSSC spawner to have it on standby in every scenario in my bases.

Awesome piece of work.

Quick stay in paint shop and off to service:

 

[gattispilot]

Uploaded to the hangar. Thanks to everyone. Working on the skycrane having to fix the mesh.

I can add an attachment for a spotlight just let me know where.

 

[orb]

By looking at this image, maybe a FLAG 1 could be added to the mesh group(s) of the rotor(s), to disable its (their) shadow?

 

[gattispilot]

I can do that to the bell and nh90 also. But wouldn't you see the shadow?

 

[orb]

But wouldn't you see the shadow?

Ideally, it would be shadow of only of the blades, but Orbiter doesn't know which part of the mesh uses transparent texture during casting shadows. It casts shadow of the mesh and not of the texture. :shrug:

Just downloaded from OH and works great. I remember doing some panel textures for it but they where not included... Did I miss something? I might have forgotten to email them or something like that :blush:.

Anyway, I'll just release them on OH as an add-on for an addon. You can use them on a future update if you wish!

 

[gattispilot]

I remember. I can update it. Sorry. I am going to update it with the no shadow disc. Email me again
