Request Universal Sonic Boom and MaxQ effect

[Interceptor]

Hi,I while back ComputerX made a great addon that made it so you could add a sonic boom to just about any ship in orbiter 2006, it would be great if somebody could recode it to work in 2010P1,or make something like it.A universal maxQ effect would be cool also.If anybody is interested its located in the link below,and it's called orbsonicboom. the sourcecode is included in the download.Thanks Link http://www.orbithangar.com/download.php?ID=3508

If the source is included why not have a go at compiling it against the 2010 SDK?

Hi GaryW, I am very much a newbe when it comes to that kind of stuff,but I'll read up on how to do it.First I have to replace my hard drive,and that will take at least a week.thanks

I can (and I would) re-compile those against the 2010 SDK.

BUT I will not distribute anything without the agreement of computerex!
It's his work and therefore it is needed to ask him before anyone does so.

What I can do is:

• re-compile all of the add-ons of the package against the 2010 SDK.
• pack them back into one ZIP (like in 'original' orbPck.zip)

After that, we might think about redistribution of that
(as orbPck2010.zip maybe) with agreement of computerex of cause!

In case he (computerex) is not reading this thread I will contact him
after I have re-compiled all add-ons of the package.

P.S.: ...and NO I will not PM any re-compiled module to anyone

There is no need for a recompile. In Orbiter 2010 there were some changes that make the "template" particle streams (defined in Deltaglider.ini) no longer work.

Just make sure the atmospheric mapping is set to atm_flat, and amin/amax/lmin/lmax is set to 0.1. Just replace your Deltaglider.ini to this:

[SETTINGS]

;condensation cloud count
pcount=2

P_1_srcsize=10
P_1_srcrate=50
P_1_v0=50
P_1_srcspread=0.3
P_1_lifetime=2.0
P_1_growthrate=3
P_1_atmslowdown=2
P_1_LTYPE=DIFFUSE
P_1_LEVELMAP=LVL_SQRT
P_1_lmin=0.1
P_1_lmax=0.1
P_1_ATMSMAP=ATM_FLAT
P_1_amin=0.1 
P_1_amax=0.1
P_1_tex=none
P_1_pos=(0,0,2)

P_2_srcsize=10
P_2_srcrate=50
P_2_v0=50
P_2_srcspread=0.3
P_2_lifetime=2.0
P_2_growthrate=3
P_2_atmslowdown=2
P_2_LTYPE=DIFFUSE
P_2_LEVELMAP=LVL_SQRT
P_2_lmin=0.1
P_2_lmax=0.1
P_2_ATMSMAP=ATM_FLAT
P_2_amin=0.1 
P_2_amax=0.1
P_2_tex=none
P_2_pos=(0,10,0)

sound=Sound/Vessel/sonicbang.wav
duration=1

These changes have to be made to every other definition too, not just Deltaglider.ini. So for instance, if you added the sonic boom effect to Atlantis, you should have an Atlantis.ini. Make sure that the atmsmap for every particle stream definition in Atlantis.ini is set to atm_flat, and lmin/lmax/amin/amax are set to 0.1.

Hi computerex,

There is no need for a recompile.
...

...which saves me a lot of time

But wouldn't a "2010-Pack" still be a good idea?
I don't know about all the other add-ons in the pack, but are there any further 'tweaks' needed?

Peter

 

[computerex]

Hello. Thanks for the offer of recompiling everything, however most add-ons in the pack should work just fine in Orbiter 2010. With that said, everything that I have ever released is in public domain, so feel free to use anything in the pack for your own experiments and releases :thumbup:.

Thank you computerx I, really enjoyed this addon of yours,and Hope to be able to use in 2010P1.does this method work for your reentrystream addon,also!

 

[computerex]

Thank you computerx I, really enjoyed this addon of yours,and Hope to be able to use in 2010P1.does this method work for your reentrystream addon,also!

Yep. It is the same issue for reentrystream, and also I think the hover dust add-on.

 

[Interceptor]

The Hover dust addon works great in 2010P1 already.

All above addons work now,Thanks again computerx.

I know I'm a bit late to the party but are these MFDs perhaps available any longer. I have a great wish to keep as much alive that once was, something that may yet come to pass.

Also, I cant seem to find the "Deltaglider.ini" file anywhere in my Orbiter 2010 P1 install. Thanks to anyone in advance.

Regards,
