CTR Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Dear 3d modelers, maybe someone of you has the skill and time to model a NITKA sky jump as static object? It would be great to train takeoffs (yes it is possibe from the Kuznetzov too) for us Su-33 and Harrier pilots on existing airfields. Maybe it's fun for others too since the several other types where tested on sky jumps as well: MiG-27, MiG-29, Su-25, Su-27S, Su-27UB, J-15, F-14A, F-18 (yes its true), F-35, inline skater. Here are some pics for reference of the NITKA / Saki sky jump on the crimean penisula.

fl0w Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Looks pretty cool, would like to see in DCS. I have no idea how to code a static object like this, but I would be happy to take the modeling aspect as a challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey45 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Last time I did a ski jump not all airframes could use it, but that was a few years back. Will try again sometime soon. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

fl0w Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Last time I did a ski jump not all airframes could use it, but that was a few years back. Will try again sometime soon. It may be a limitation from the collision model, damage model, and/or the FM used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey45 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 True The A10C could use it but the A10A could not, This was when the A10A got it's AFM.

CTR Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 Cool you guy's looking into it! If you post the EDM file i try to figure out how to register it as a static model in the lua files! Interesting that not all planes could use the ski jump you mentioned. Did they go thou the 3d model / ignore the collision model of the ski jump? I hope the DCS engine changed since your last attempt. [sigpic][/sigpic] Flanker driver since 1996 DxDiag.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western_JPN Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Comparing DCS World's new Skiramp object and joey45 's Ground Ramp object mod . A bit different length and gradient. Skiramp might be in the same dimensions of HMS Invincible R05's ski-jump deck after 1989 (not equal to 1982 one and RAZBAM's Invincible object ... perhaps). Modules: A-10C/II, F-5E, F-14A/B, F-15E, F-16C, F/A-18C, AV-8B, FC3, Ka-50-2/3, UH-1H, Mi-8MTV2, SA342, Mi-24P, AH-64D, P-51D Maps: Nevada, PG, Syria, SA, Sinai, Channel, Normandy2.0 Assets etc.: CA, Sc, WW2AP Mods and Skins in User Files: files/filter/user-is-western0221/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey45 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I made mine around the same the A10C came out and I think the A10A AFM..... Not every aircraft could use it like the SFM ones and I think the A10A AFM. Mine wasn't modelled on anything particular unlike Razbams.

That's by Razbam. I do not own Harrier but I guess it would work with it. Hornet doesn't, front gear damage. I have not tried Su-33, which I assume would work fine. I was wondering if Hornet could ski jump from Kuznetsov as well. As I could not place Hornet on Kuz via ME I trapped on it, but once I subsequently set up for a jump, the main gear collapsed once the JBD came up, together with those red wheels chocks whatever these are called.
