coolpilot Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 I found an entry in the Talon´s data .ini that says "Lock out speed" I experimented with it, it locks the flight surface and can only move below a certain speed, in my case 0 km/h How can I increase that number? I have tried putting 300 (meters per second) and .7 (mach) but it doesn´t change Quote

As for the figures "not changing", are you sure that you're saving your edits afterwords? Or, is the original flight data file set as "read only" in its file properties"? Quote
coolpilot Posted January 7, 2009 Author Posted January 7, 2009 It doesn´t work, I added it to the F-14´s middle spoiler: [/b][LeftSpoiler] SystemType=CONTROL_SURFACE InputName=ROLL_CONTROL MaxDeflection=0.0 MinDeflection=-60.0 CDdc=0.0096 Cldc=0.0126 Cndc=-0.0004 CldcAlphaTableNumData=15 CldcAlphaTableDeltaX=4.00 CldcAlphaTableStartX=-28.00 CldcAlphaTableData=0.415,0.877,1.000,1.000,1.000,1.000,1.000,1.000,1.000,1.000,1.000,1.000,1.000,0.877,0.415 CndcAlphaTableNumData=15 CndcAlphaTableDeltaX=4.00 CndcAlphaTableStartX=-28.00 CndcAlphaTableData=1.432,1.360,1.288,1.216,1.144,1.072,1.000,0.928,1.000,1.072,1.144,1.216,1.288,1.360,1.432 ControlRate=2.5 ModelNodeName=spoiler_left ReverseModelOrientation=TRUE [b]LockOutSpeed=300.5[/b] [b] This was the outcome: Quote
+Fubar512 Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 It works fine. I've just tested my MiG-17F FM in WoE (patched to Oct 08 level), and that flight model that uses that very feature to simulate elevator lockup above 498 KIAS, and wing warping at 470 KIAS. Are you sure that you're exceeding 606 KIAS (300 meters/sec)? Update: An interesting find, I've just tested that value on the F-14, and have come to the conclusion that the use of that declaration seems to be limited to stabs and elevators. When applied to the Tomcat's spoilers, it did not work. When applied to the Tomcat's stabs, it worked fine. Update to Update: Well, the MiG17F's wing-warping works OK, and that's controlled by the same declaration of that model's ailerons, so apparentally, it doesn't work for certain control surface names.

+ST0RM Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Dang, this sucks. I was hoping to piggy-back off of this and add it to the KC-135's outboard ailerons. They lock out above 200kts when the outboard flaps come up fully. Roll is then controlled by the spoilers and inboard ailerons. Oh well... Great experiments though! Quote

If the control surface's name is "aileron", then it should work. Quote
