Classic British Flight Sim

Nice one John

For the sake of authenticity.. try and tweak those ships so that you don't see any red. It looks nice I know but you would only ever see it if the ship were in dry dock or in medium to heavy seas as either the bow climbed a wave or the stern slipped down one

Love that first shot!

Yeah the last time I saw that much red it was RFA Argus in Dry Dock in Falmouth!

I'll have a fiddle and then do some proper shots

Kind regards

Hi John.
Below is a copy of a float plane i have in fs2004,look at class o,which defines the type of u/c the aircraft has,then assign floats instead of wheels,then play with the contact points for the depth you require the ship to float.

//0 Class <0=none,1=wheel, 2=scrape, 3=float>
//1 Longitudinal Position (feet)
//2 Lateral Position (feet)
//3 Vertical Position (feet)
//4 Impact Damage Threshold (Feet Per Minute)
//5 Brake Map (0=None, 1=Left, 2=Right)
//6 Wheel Radius (feet)
//7 Steer Angle (degrees)
//8 Static Compression (feet) (0 if rigid)
//9 Max/Static Compression Ratio
//10 Damping Ratio (0=Undamped, 1=Critically Damped)
//11 Extension Time (seconds)
//12 Retraction Time (seconds)
//13 Sound Type
//14 Airspeed limit for retraction (KIAS)
//15 Airspeed that gear gets damage at (KIAS)

regards alan.

That info is incorrect Alan, floats are class 4, not 3.

The actual contact points are defined correctly though.

Thank you both for making the effort I shall experiment away!

Kind regards

John

Do you know if these can be dragged into FSX as AI John?? That cruiser would go down a treat to escort Victorious and KG5

ATB

DaveB

Sureley you don't really want your cruiser to go down Dave .......even if it was a treat

You know I honestly have no idea... but I'll gladly send you the bits if that helps?

JR

Thanks Garry.. and thanks John

TBH.. I wouldn't know what to do with the bits if you sent them mate. I'm still not au fait enough with FSX to make a simple traffic file Were it not for Ben and DaveG, I'd have only default ships which although nice for a millisecond.. are boring as hell thereafter.
