Swapping Flight Characteristics

Recommended Posts

If I wanted to make one aircraft fly like another, can I simply copy something from one's config and put it in the other? If so, can you please tell me which lines in the config? There are some really great looking aircraft out there that seem to fly a little funny. Some aircraft handle really well, but don't quite have the looks. If changing the flight characteristics is this simple, I can solve my problem.

Thanks.

The short answer is No you cant make two different models fly identically.

Flight characteristics depend not only on the values in the config but on the mass, Center of Gravity and seemingly the even distribution of vertices in the Geo Lod.

But if you want to tweek the flight values look in the Config.cpp for:

noseDownCoef=.1; - How much the nose goes down in turns

maxSpeed=1000; - will affect the landing and take off speed as well as cruising speed (speeds are set at % of max etc

aileronSensitivity=1.28; - How much/quickly the aircraft will roll

elevatorSensitivity=3; - How much/quickly the aircraft will pitch up/down

wheelSteeringSensitivity =5; - How much/quickly the aircraft will yaw and steer on the ground (Rudder)

Hope this helps...

...ps this was probably better posted int he Breathe Addon making section.

Thanks for the help Rock. I'm wasn't familiar with the Breathe Addon Making section, but I see what you mean now, I will post questions like this there in the future.

Thanks again,

Monty
