Project Spiral mig-105

[marcogavazzeni]

Repeat here the discussion on the Spiral :tiphat:

This is the model that I am currently building:

And relative cockpit:

General layout with TU50-50

I state that I am not a programmer, a designer and an expert on air space dynamic ...and my english is not good ​

There is already a version made for ORBITER by Sputnik:

The model that I'm planning to be a modern version, with current instrumentation, but I also do a version equal to the original model and with the same instrumentation :thumbup:

Of course everyone can participate with their ideas and advice, even in an active

Layout of cockpit:

1-Engine level,propellant level..Main,Jet and RCS..and temp level
2-Buttons to activate Wing,Gear,Bay,Hatch,Radiator..or solar panel?,Brake(airbrake)
3-Selector:Trim ind,RCS mode,AF control,Engine control(air engine or space engine)
4-Dysplay to wing and engine status(Wing closed--> air-engine disable-->space-engine enable and reverse)
5-wing load,slip and AOA...deltaglider mode

Primary MFD
Secondary MFD
General status: wing open-closed...hatch open-closed ecc.

Hud....​

The main problem for those who pilot the spiral, is that he has a not frontal view during landing, I was thinking to make transparent the HUD so that we can have a front view(EXTERNAL)

Awesome! I love Lifting-body-like space planes! We just can't have enough of them

And your model just looks awesome!

 

[the.punk]

Yes. This model looks realy nice.
But haven't you got already a picture with textures?

[the.punk]

Yeah. I meant that. That looks cool.:thumbup:

 

[tgep]

I like it. :thumbup:

I've already downloaded and tested the TU-50\50 on my instal and its fantastic ! Very well done, especially on the cockpit. It's a real joy to fly.

How would they do it IRL? Lean forward and to the side so they could look out the window? Why not define a camera movement so you can do the same thing? (Like in the default Delta-Glider VC, you can "lean" to look out the side windows)

 

[marcogavazzeni]

It is possible to do, but there would be a frontal view, this model has a flaw ... not free but only the front view side view through the windows during the landing would be very dangerous, you can use CAMERA MFD but I prefer HUD to make the transparent screen to simulate an outside view, I'll just change the property of materials

 

[Urwumpe]

You don't need a complete frontal view though, if you have HSI and ILS.

 

[fausto]

That's great Marco! Keep on working!

Yeah, technicialy you don't evan need to see outside at all to land, it is nice though.

 

[Brycesv1]

all of my landings i do visually. the current windows look more spaceworthy though. i think id like a "lean" feature

EDIT: maybe in the free panel put an electronics panel like the DGIV. i loved the added complexity that gave

 

[marcogavazzeni]

Spiral "the return"

work continues.....

was added to the button for the ignition of the jet engine and a lot of things


I was able to simulate the heat shield so real enough .... I think:hmm:

 

[N_Molson]

looks wonderful !

 

[RisingFury]

This is the original soviet model:

That is one ugly baby! :facepalm:


Nicely done on the model and programming. :thumbup:

 

[N_Molson]

That is one ugly baby!

It was nicknamed "Lapot", which means something like "wooden shoe" in russian. :lol:

 

[marcogavazzeni]

Work in progress

Being alone the work is progressing a little slow, but progressing

​

I also added a series of commands to the electrical and hydraulic section,r and life support

[RisingFury]

That is HOT! :thumbup:

 

[N_Molson]

Yes, amazing work ! :thumbup:

 

[4throck]

Looks good! :thumbup:
