Project check out this model

[pieterpret]

it may be able to fly due to the geometry

just need to find a way to right a cfg file

 

[pieterpret]

some more

here is a more rounded out version

 

[pieterpret]

unnamed flying object

 

[Artlav]

It might fly in the air at high mach, it should fly rocket-way easily, rounded version looks kinda nice.

 

[pieterpret]

is there any addons that are only cfg based. because that what im planning to do with it

 

[HAL9001]

I now created something simular in Solid-Works, so i were abel to check out the aerodynamic and it was good.

 

[pieterpret]

so it could fly, right

 

[HAL9001]

well, almos everything can fly, if you make it moving forward at 5000km/h with a little rotaation so that the nose is a bit some upwards.

But that can fly such like a jet.
It could gon very fast and it could reentry an atmosphere without exploding.

certainly. Look at the OrbiterCfg.PDF in the doc folder, it explains all parameters you can input into a config file.

 

[pieterpret]

i think if givin inough time i could make fly like a mig 19

 

[pieterpret]

mesh falling out of the sky

at the moment it has no flight dynamics what so ever. still need to re-export the mesh. but the mesh it self looks good

 

[pieterpret]

ClassName =stealth
Module =
ImageBmp =
MeshName= stealth
EditorCreate=true
EnableFocus=true
EnableXPDR=true
XPDR=120.5
Mass=1002
WingEffectiveness=2.8
WingAspect=3.0
MEngineRefi=1.0003
MaxMainThrust=12000


can this work or not?

 

[HAL9001]

well I think yes, but I'm not THE big Add-On developer (made my first addon a few days ago and I made lot's of litttle things and funny but ugly ships I only used for my self)

 

[pieterpret]

im getting absolutely no responce from the ship. any idea what could be missing or wrong

 

[Glider]

im getting absolutely no responce from the ship. any idea what could be missing or wrong

May be you didn't add some necessary parameters like fuelmass attthrust etc.... Try this cfg:

ClassName =stealth
ImageBmp =
MeshName= stealth
EditorCreate=true
EnableFocus=true
EnableXPDR=true
XPDR=120.5
Mass=1002
WingEffectiveness=2.8
WingAspect=3.0
MEngineRefi=1.0003
MaxFuel = 2500
Isp = 40000
CrossSections = 5.0 5.0 1.0
Size = 5.0
MaxMainThrust = 12000
MaxRetroThrust = 0
MaxHoverThrust = 0
MaxAttitudeThrust = 500
COG_OverGround = 2.0

I never developed vessels based on the default module(I prefer custom .dll), so it may be not working...

 

[Loru]

Or just try with spacecraft3.dll

 

[pieterpret]

its moving side and not nose first

 

[HAL9001]

well there you couldedit your mesh and the geometry, so that the "front" is there where it moves to, or you could change the engine, but i think first is more to do, but less difficult.

 

[jedidia]

its moving side and not nose first

a common beginner problem when they use a 3d programm where z is the vertical axis ( as is usuall). In Orbiter (as in any other flight-sim), the Z-axis points along your vessel, so you have to rotate your mesh into an upright position in your 3d programm (i.e. the nose pointing to the + direction of the vertical axis).

 

[pieterpret]

ok thanks. i noticed on one off my previous meshes that i created for orbiter that if you rotate the vessel verticle to z in gmax it does the same in orbiter
