Glutton for punishment ... 747-8VIP and VVIP
Posted: Thu Oct 22, 2015 10:51 pm
In a case of temporary mental derangement I had last night nothing better to do than to create a new branch of the VIP on my computer (not uploaded yet, I have to figure out how first) and started to build a 747-8VVIP with JSB. She looks the same, she uses the same model, the only thing is, she will behave in slideslip situations, during sharp turns and in near to stall situations more like the real thing than Yasim can calculate and probably, I will also play around with mass points a little.
Get me right, she will probably not be available till Saturday, but she did this prenoon the first five minute flights (too early for extended test flights, there are still a lot nasal problems to solve). And she is also full integrated with the JPack, so, less initialization problems over the ever-changing world of FlightGear-versions. So, a lot of coffee, maybe I feel after "Sleepy Hollow" like plane tinkering, who knows?
Which brings me to the other plane in the VIP collection, the Lineage. She flies, but without JPack integration. So she will be one of the next ones on my work list. And who knows, maybe there will be another VIP version of another plane then to make the VIP collection grow a little?
