OHM Alien Vessel 2022-06-15

[GB]

GB submitted a new addon:

Alien Vessel - Fantastic vessel with high speed, from movies "Alien" and "Prometheus".

It is fantastic vessel with high speed, from movies "Alien" and "Prometheus" and my invention (mixing).
I play with bump texture so "orbiter_ng" only. Model has virtual cockpit.
Because in Orbiter is not possible to vessel operate from Jockey, I invented additional navigation cabin.
There are three main thrusters - Main, hover and retro.
All you can rotate as a flaps, so you need Fly-By-Wire 2016 01.
Retro thruster in hover mode push vessel down!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway for keyboard:
Thrusters...

@GB you can add pictures to the addon description just like you do with any other post. You can edit the description at any time, no need to reupload
Addons use the same text editor as posts (because the system is fully integrated with the forum software )

Could you post the source code for this ship? I wanna make a few edits for myself

Amazing ship btw, basically just what I was looking for

 

[GB]

My source codes just now are looking like garbage. I need time for prepare for distribution because only I known what is where.
Just now I am building vessel Prometheus and code was re righting for Alien vessel (Prometheus I started before I did Alien vessel).
I am seaman and in short time i will fly to my vessel. When will be possible I will prepare code.

If you need how connect thruster rotation to control flaps there are samples:

m_back_eng_trak_point[0] = _V(0.0,0.0,0.0);

Animation:

static UINT ThrustGrp[1] = {GRP_GBA_mesh09_GBstick03_VC};
static MGROUP_ROTATE Thrust (1, ThrustGrp, 1, _V(-3.465278,-5.532551,137.3656), _V(1,0,0), (float)(-90*RAD));
anim_thrust = CreateAnimation (0);
p3 = AddAnimationComponent (anim_thrust, 0, 1, &Thrust);
CreateControlSurface3 (AIRCTRL_FLAP, 0.5, 4.5, _V(-3.465278,-5.532551,137.3656), AIRCTRL_AXIS_XPOS, 1.0, anim_thrust);

and:

void AlienVessel::clbkPostStep (double simt, double simdt, double mjd)
{

SetThrusterRef ( th_retro[0], m_back_eng_trak_point[0]);
SetThrusterRef ( th_rmain[0], m_back_eng_trak_point[0]);
SetThrusterRef ( th_main[0], m_back_eng_trak_point[0]);


gb_angle = -3.14;
gc_angle = 3.14;
double Thrustersaxis1 = GetControlSurfaceLevel (AIRCTRL_FLAP);
Thrustersaxis1 = max (gb_angle, min (gc_angle,Thrustersaxis1));
SetControlSurfaceLevel (AIRCTRL_FLAP, Thrustersaxis1, true);

ab_angle = (Thrustersaxis1*1.55) + 1.57;

double sina = sin(ab_angle);
double cosa = cos(ab_angle);


SetThrusterDir (th_retro[0], _V(0,-sina,-cosa));
SetThrusterDir (th_rmain[0], _V(0,sina,cosa));
SetThrusterDir (th_main[0], _V(0,sina,cosa));
