Free Flight, Free Speech

Since I was able to get the L-11 3D model to work so handily with the Nordstern's systems and FDM, I got really brave and tackled Ander's long neglected LZ-129 Hindenburg.

I think I've got it mostly fixed. It's presently suffering from some weird pitch and roll instability when brought up to 70 knots. The view riding in the forward car is a bit nauseating when at speed, unfortunately.

for inspiration



Your task is make that babe fly again... But oh please, do not fill it with Hydrogen!!

Sorry but it originally was filled with the kaboom gas, so it's staying put. To do otherwise would have to completely rebuild the gas cells, not something I'd want to tackle considering the number of them present.

Oh!

If that's the case --and not with the intention of being morbid!!--
Would you consider adding some random failure that causes the whole thing to go Kaboom?

No random failure to go kaboom please ... I can imagine too many not random mistakes letting it blow up already.

What wrong with just letting it serenely and majestically sail in the FG skies like it should?

This is the biggest airship ever made, and, it makes the Aerodrome at Chaux look rather cramped.

The fact I got it working should be of note. When I first loaded it in FG, it would just initialize in one spot and spin slowly and not respond to either ballast dropping or the engines being spun up.

Tough crowd..

No. I did not intended to be overcritical.
On the contrary, I am very impressed at your modelling of the Belfort set

Sorry Lester, we were just kidding around!

No problems guys.

Any progress on it?
