Add-on A-7D wingmen explode when they taxi

[boog2006]

Hello, I'm fairly new to WOV.

 

I d/l the A-7D from this site. It's very nice. But, when the other flight members try to taxi, they explode.

 

I didn't find anything when I searched. Thanks in advance.

Download this info and read through it there is info that will give you the answer.

Here's the section from my A-7d data ini. They bounce a little, but don't explode. Tweak it to your hearts content if you don't like the continued bouncing, then post it in a thread if you get it right. This is just a minor tweak of Armor Dave's data ini to stop the bounce.

By far the fastest response to any post I've made on any forum, I think. Will try. Thanks.

Hi Boog!

 

Here's an alternative to Hecks solution; Copy and paste this into the landing gear section:

 

[NoseGear]

SystemType=LANDING_GEAR

Retractable=TRUE

DeployTime=6.0

AnimationID=1

DragArea=0.25

HideGearNode=TRUE

ModelNodeName=Gear_Nose5

InsideNodeName=bay_front

ShockNodeName=c_gear_st4

ShockAnimationID=6

ShockStroke=0.15

SpringFactor=1.5

DampingFactor=1.8

WheelNodeName001=nose_wheel_left

wheelNodeName002=nose_wheel_right

RollingRadius=0.22

CastoringWheel=TRUE

CastoringNodeName=

Steerable=TRUE

MaxSteeringSpeed=41.15

Locking=FALSE

MaxSteeringAngle=90.0

InputName=YAW_CONTROL

ControlRate=2.0

HasBrakes=FALSE

RollingCoefficient=0.05

MaxDeploySpeed=128.61

MaxLoadFactor=6.0

 

[LeftMainGear]

SystemType=LANDING_GEAR

Retractable=TRUE

DeployTime=6.0

AnimationID=1

DragArea=0.50

HideGearNode=TRUE

ModelNodeName=Gear_Main2

InsideNodeName=bay_left

ShockNodeName=l_gear_str

ShockTravelAxis=Z-AXIS

ShockAnimationID=7

ShockStroke=0.4

SpringFactor=1.8

DampingFactor=3.5

WheelNodeName=left_wheel

RollingRadius=0.360

CastoringWheel=FALSE

HasBrakes=TRUE

BrakingCoefficient=0.55

RollingCoefficient=0.05

MaxDeploySpeed=128.61

MaxLoadFactor=6.0

 

[RightMainGear]

SystemType=LANDING_GEAR

Retractable=TRUE

DeployTime=6.0

AnimationID=1

DragArea=0.50

HideGearNode=TRUE

ModelNodeName=Gear_Main4

InsideNodeName=bay_right

ShockNodeName=r_gear_str

ShockTravelAxis=Z-AXIS

ShockAnimationID=8

ShockStroke=0.4

SpringFactor=1.8

DampingFactor=3.5

WheelNodeName=right_wheel

RollingRadius=0.360

CastoringWheel=FALSE

HasBrakes=TRUE

BrakingCoefficient=0.55

RollingCoefficient=0.05

MaxDeploySpeed=128.61

MaxLoadFactor=6.0

 

Next, add this to the [AircraftData] section:

 

CGPosition=0.00,0.80,0.00.

 

It still swings on rotating, and jiggles turning a corner when taxiing, but it's a lot better than before.

 

It also works for ArmourDaves's B and E models as well, though they don't swing so sharply on take-off.

 

Hope that helps,

 

Mike.
