DCS Mods structure : How to create your plugin from scratch

Thanks for posting this up, Alex! An additional note for you all... this suspension code will not function for the release client until 1.2.3 is released.

that explains a few things.

Can the suspension code be applied to a module still running SFM?

I tried to translate. Some defenition hard to translate because there is no en.Wiki page relative to ruWiki page.

{

damage_omega = 30.0, -- (deg?) speed threshold of jamming during impact of rotation limiter

state_angle_0 = 6.131341662, -- (deg?) designed angle of retracted gear with horizontal axis of plane

state_angle_1 = -2.995164152, -- (deg?) designed angle of released gear with vertical axis of plane

mount_pivot_x = -0.274, -- (m) X-coordinate of attachment to fuselage in body-axis system

mount_post_radius = 0.657, -- (m) distance from strut-axis to attachment point of piston to gear stand

mount_length = 0.604555117, -- (m) What is the difference between this and the post_radius? length of angle brace in retracted configuration

mount_angle_1 = -3.138548523, -- (deg?) length of Position (vector) from attaxhment point

post_length = 1.748, -- (m) distance from rotation-axis of strut to wheel-axis

wheel_axle_offset = 0.05, -- (m) displacement wheel axis relative to strut

self_attitude = false, -- true if gear is self-oriented (Alba or Yak-52 example)

amortizer_min_length = 0.0, -- (m) rate of (minimum spring lenght / minimum length of damper)

amortizer_max_length = 0.397, -- (m) same as previous but max length

 

amortizer_basic_length = 0.397, -- (m) rate of (spring length in free (without load) condition / damper length in free (without load) condition)

amortizer_spring_force_factor = 1.6e+13, -- (??) spring tension factor (see k Wik)

amortizer_spring_force_factor_rate = 20.0, -- (??) Степень probably not full comment

amortizer_static_force = 80000.0, -- (N?) static reaction force of damper

amortizer_reduce_length = 0.377, -- (m) total suspension compression distance in non-load condition

amortizer_direct_damper_force_factor = 45000.0, -- (??) damper of positive movement

amortizer_back_damper_force_factor = 15000.0, -- (??) damper of negative (reversed) movement

 

wheel_radius = 0.308, -- (m) Tire radius

wheel_static_friction_factor = 0.65 , -- (unitless) Static friction factor when wheel not moves

wheel_roll_friction_factor = 0.025, -- (unitless) Rolling friction factor when wheel not moves

wheel_damage_force_factor = 250.0, wheel cover (tire) strength force (not sure)

wheel_brake_moment_max = 15000, -- (N-m) Max braking moment torque

 

},

Now big question is how to add stopping force in EFM for each wheel?

you need to increase roll_friction_factor (means lower pressure in tyre also) or use brakes with increased wheel_brake_moment_max

wheel_static_friction_factor = 0.65 , -- (unitless) Static friction factor when wheel not moves - means fully braked, wheels cant roll - static - therefore same highest value for side friction

wheel_glide_friction_factor = 0.28 , glide/slide friction factor when wheel not rolls/ not rotating but sliding - means fully braked, wheels cant roll - non static/aircraft is moving - therefore 2nd highest value

wheel_roll_friction_factor = 0.025, -- (unitless) Rolling friction factor when wheel moves - rotating/rolling/turning wheels - no brake - lowest value - all ok - plane rolling on taxiway

wheel_damage_force_factor = 250.0, when tyre is exploding - extreme hard landing

wheel_brake_moment_max = 15000, -- (N-m) Max braking moment torque but it not means tires cannot roll...it means max brake strength,

so if the plane is moving and the brake stopped wheel turning/rolling then will produce the glide_friction_factor values

Both of you gentlemen... great work! I'm looking forward to struggling with trailing-link gear. Not sure how all of the struts and rotation limits will need to be set up. :)

Wow, rock on SilentEagle, Sevas, and HungaroJet! Made my life a whole lot easier, thanks for sharing the knowledge!

Your welcome ;)

used glide_friction_factor here: full brake without ABS cause burning tires ...problem: no continous smokes @ main wheels :( (1st pic)

same problem both with A-10C and Ka-50: there are black burned tyre traces on concrete but without smoke effect when gliding/sliding

Hey... Do I hear 'SEPECAT JAGUAR'? :)

Hey... Do I hear 'SEPECAT JAGUAR'? :)

yep :)

:D

If by SEPECAT Jaguar you mean F/A-18C Hornet, then yes...? :D Many aircraft feature trailing-link main gear.

Hey guys

Anyway to let the model show up in mission editor??

I tryed the whole midday to get it in but no sucess, but the rest is working fine its showing up. As the icon, in the encyclopedic, and in the Logbook.

And got no Clue's left Help will be verry appreciated.

Vincent

PS. sorry for my bad English not my native language

I would say that your module probably has a - in the name like mig-21, f-15.

Remove the - and it should work ok.

and replace with _

Thank you guys its working now :P

Cool :D

one question. The plugin, only work with aircraft (and helos)? or can be exported to work with vehicles and ships?

It works the same way. Try it first, then ask! There have been a couple threads in this forum about adding non-flying objects, and even a thread with an example ship mod.

Guys the animations are set on the aircraft how to get them working, cuzz when we replaced this model whit an flyable AI back in the days and it was working.

but since we got them now as a separate module the don't seem to work anymore.

How to get them working guys help would be verry appreciated

Don`t want to offense someone, but searching How-to forums would be very appreciated. ;) There is all answers, even more.

It's just A Jump to the Left.... And A Step to the Riiii-ii---ii-ght.......

Let's do the time warp... again?

I did use the search button but was not able to find something LOL.

Eventualy i tryed to get the 3d cockpit in and for some reason one of the codes fixed it :P (i know which one).

So again dont blame me if i did not use the search right but i'm not able to find a threat

about adding a 3d cockpit in (except this one), and i did read this whole threat and tryed some but i'm not really getting it, better said its not working.

if anyone want to guide me or has a good guide pls link it or try to help me much appreciated.

Vincent

PS. funny Vid

There are no good guides. Keep experimenting. You went a grand total of 2 hours between this post and your last post.

I bet he did, he even posted some of his work in this topic;)
