Woo482's UMMU Plane

[Woo482]

The UMMU plane is a small 1 manned plane that can also carry light cargo if you wanted to by useing Universal cargo deck to attach it.

Update: Version 1 is now on orbit hangar http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=4174

What a totally insane thing to build.

I like it! Would be good for UMMU parachute training! :lol:

 

[Woo482]

it will be good for UMMU parachuting as soon as I paint the texture (any one want to help ?)

 

[RisingFury]

Hahahaha this is cool!

 

[Woo482]

seriously ? funny how last time I posted it (02-23-2009 I think) no one replied to the thread but any way there should be a release in the next few weeks

 

[Oceanic]

This looks hilarious. I'll be sure to try it out when it is released.

 

[Woo482]

hilarious ? you could probably take it to space if you wanted to now that's hilarious

Yea, you have to code it so that this can't happen... don't just give it a limited fuel, make sure the engine performance changes with air density
Also, an appropriate engine sound would be cool, instead of a rocket one

 

[Woo482]

they could be rocket props for all you know !

UPDATE:
from the latest beta I've got of this I would say it's close to release but there are still some issues with it like its not that fast and with x10 time it just crashes to the ground but they will be fixed soon I hope.

weird scenario

On the Ummuplane, I am doing some of the code. Here is what is odd. This is how the plane starts:
BEGIN_SHIPS
ummuplane1:UMMUPLANE
STATUS Landed Mars
BASE Olympus:1
POS -135.4300005 12.7399960
HEADING 0.01
PRPLEVEL 0:1.000
NAVFREQ 0 0
XPDR 0
STATUS Landed Mars
BASE Olympus:1
POS -135.4300005 12.7399960
HEADING 0.01
PRPLEVEL 0:1.000
NAVFREQ 0 0
XPDR 0
GEAR 1 1.0000
END
END_SHIPS

but when the scenario start I am on the sun. here is a quicksave.

BEGIN_SHIPS
ummuplane1:UMMUPLANE
STATUS Orbiting Sun
RPOS -0.00 0.00 765595920.42
RVEL -0.000 0.000 -1359.182
AROT 0.00 0.00 0.00
NAVFREQ 0 0
XPDR 0
STATUS Orbiting Sun
RPOS -0.00 0.00 765595920.42
RVEL -0.000 0.000 -1359.182
AROT 0.00 0.00 0.00
NAVFREQ 0 0
XPDR 0
GEAR 1 1.0000
END
END_SHIPS

Any ideas? not sure why the info is being repeated

 

[Woo482]

here's another update for you. other than a few small problems

 

[gattispilot]

Is there a way to set the max thrust based on ATM pressure? For instance the max thrust on Earth would be different than on Mars. I have the thrust set to 0 if ATM pressure is less than 2000. So no flying in space.

 

[Oceanic]

any updates?

i really want to torture my ummus with this :rofl:

 

[Ark]

This would make an awesome XR-5 payload.

Unfortunately, there's only a few places in the solar system you can use it...

 

[Woo482]

I need 1 or 2 tester's for this addon other than that I think its reddy for release

 

[Countdown84]

woo482,

Cool idea! It'll be great to have a new toy for the UMMU's. I was a beta tester for the XR2 and would be happy to test this addon. Looking forward to a release!

 

[Woo482]

well if you want to test PM me and I'll send you a link
