boog2006 Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 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. Quote

Heck Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 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. // Landing Gears --------------------------------------------------------- [NoseGear] SystemType=LANDING_GEAR Retractable=TRUE DeployTime=6.0 AnimationID=1 DragArea=0.25 HideGearNode=TRUE ModelNodeName=gear_front_strut InsideNodeName=bay_front ShockNodeName=gear_front_piston ShockAnimationID=6 ShockStroke=0.21 SpringFactor=2.0 DampingFactor=2.0 WheelNodeName001=nose_wheel_left wheelNodeName002=nose_wheel_right RollingRadius=0.22 CastoringWheel=TRUE CastoringNodeName= Steerable=TRUE MaxSteeringSpeed=41.15 Locking=FALSE MaxSteeringAngle=45.0 InputName=YAW_CONTROL ControlRate=2.0 HasBrakes=FALSE RollingCoefficient=0.05 MaxDeploySpeed=128.61 MaxLoadFactor=5.0 [LeftMainGear] SystemType=LANDING_GEAR Retractable=TRUE DeployTime=6.0 AnimationID=1 DragArea=0.50 HideGearNode=TRUE ModelNodeName=gear_strut_left InsideNodeName=bay_left ShockNodeName=gear_piston_left //ShockTravelAxis=Z-AXIS ShockAnimationID=7 ShockStroke=0.18 SpringFactor=1.5 DampingFactor=2.0 WheelNodeName=left_wheel RollingRadius=0.360 CastoringWheel=FALSE HasBrakes=TRUE BrakingCoefficient=0.75 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_strut_right InsideNodeName=bay_right ShockNodeName=gear_piston_right //ShockTravelAxis=Z-AXIS ShockAnimationID=8 ShockStroke=0.18 SpringFactor=1.5 DampingFactor=2.0 WheelNodeName=right_wheel RollingRadius=0.360 CastoringWheel=FALSE HasBrakes=TRUE BrakingCoefficient=0.75 RollingCoefficient=0.05 MaxDeploySpeed=128.61 MaxLoadFactor=6.0 Quote
boog2006 Posted August 26, 2006 Author Posted August 26, 2006 (edited) By far the fastest response to any post I've made on any forum, I think. Will try. Thanks. Edited August 26, 2006 by boog2006 Quote
Mike1 Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 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. Quote
