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 knot...

I do very few things well in Blender, it's mostly on my PC because it's has some useful Pythons that allow for texture U-V unwrapping, a z-face flicker eliminator and conversions of the few weird old 3D formats I work from. It's the interface with the Pythons that make it useful, if I could run the ...

Chord or wingspan? The chord of the wright flyer shouldn't be much over 6 feet or about 1.9 something meters. Honestly Lego, you run Windows, and if you want this to be accurate I'd get the AC3D free demo so I could open the model file and work from the dimensions directly. You'ld at least have a vi...

It's unfortunate that there isn't a standalone program like Flying Model Simulator had made for it, the FMS Planefield editor, that opens a simple 3d visual window with the .ac model file in it and overlays a graphic grid in meters centered on the point of origin of the 3D model. And yes, the measur...

Here's a proof of concept video Jason did years back when he first made the L-11 for FS-WWI

OK who the heck came up with the YAsim 'current version' requirement in the latest releases of FG? It's the lamest sort of requirements, is this something from bugman's problems with the 32 bit vers 64 bit YAsim fdm changes? I can make this little message in my console go away by putting 'YASIM_CURR...

Hopefully doesn't come to that, there's a need to keep this level headed, and I'm hoping they will be reasonable.

Thank you very much Jwocky I fogot to send email notice, my bad.. :oops: Well that's the plan. Since we have a smaller Astra-Compte dirigible hangar at Belfort and there's historically Zeppelin Hangars and a manufacturing plant at Friedrichshafen, which isn't much more than about 100 nm from Belfort...

Not sure I understand what an mpobserver is? You mean like a co-pilot position in MP?

It's the Nordstern with a new 3D shell , it should have all the features the Nordstern does.

I'm now 'officially' committed to this. I'm now posting in two forums now to keep track of my crazy Centenary WWI based concept virtual operation. Where to start? Well the idea grew as I discovered back in 2012 that I was able to import content from another sim that I've been developing aircraft for...
