Landing gear animation & refueling problem

I am still watching your videos: after the synchro, gear system goes back to
UNDEFINED. Don `t do Save&Synch.; Modify directly the values in
Flightmodel.cfg, then just RESYNC, no more Save&sync.; Please send me the
flightmodel.cfg.

Do you have Fuel_System part in FlightModel.cfg ? Delete this part.

i don t want to steal your flightmodel :slight_smile: I am more in jets than Turboprops or
Pistons. Si i change my mind, i think your blender model is OK but there is
either an issue with Flightmodel.cfg or system.cfg. Check all parameters and
compare to the simple aircraft files. The SAVE&resync; creates the problem but
because intial files aren t good.

Yeah, goes back to “undefined”…unfortunately…so is this part of the
aircraft editor is buggy? This is the actual version of my cfg file:
flight_model.zip

allow_stopped_steering=0 max_speed_full_steering=16
max_speed_decreasing_steering=33.761112 min_available_steering_angle_pct=0.2
max_speed_full_steering_castering=20
max_speed_decreasing_steering_castering=40 min_castering_angle=0.05236
max_castering_angle=3.141593 steering_time_constants= 3, 5 These lines don t
belong to original SimpleAircraft file. I deleted them , then resynch → Crash
to desktop I launch the again.

These lines belong to MOUSEAIRCRAFT not to simple or gauge aircraft.

So you need to put your files into a mouseaircraft.

Same issue…i keep on. Incredible.

Issue is linked to contactpoints. i dig.

point.0 = 1, 4.826416, 0, -4.638899, 720, 0, 0.5, 22, 0.25, 2.5, 0.7, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 1 -->> 17 values instead of 16

No, it s ok with 17 values even if there are only 16 in the default file but:
point.0 = 1, 4.8, 0, -4.6, 720, 0, 0.5, 22, 0.25, 2.5, 0.7, 3, 3, 0, 0, 0 It
should work.

point.1 = 1, -4.000121, -5.6, -4.18, 1500, 1, 0.5, 0, 0.3, 2.5, 0.7, 3, 3, 2,
0, 0, 1 point.2 = 1, -4.000121, 5.6, -4.18, 1500, 2, 0.5, 0, 0.3, 2.5, 0.7,3,
3, 3, 0, 0, 1 So setting the 2 values 6 before the end with: 3,3 should work
!!

Only the first 3 is necessasry: point.0 = 1, 4.8, 0, -4.6, 720, 0, 0.5, 22,
0.25, 2.5, 0.7, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0 Ok i make a break…

Maybe simply delete the 3 first contact points and create them again !

i think the problematic value of Center wheel is: -0.000001 so edit the file,
set 0 instead of -0.000001 and set 3,3 for time expand/retract 6 values before
the end of the 3 points.

I m waiting for a coffee offer.

I think to see more precisely what`s happening. I was wrong about the bad
values, i don t think it matters. What matters: in the flightmodel.cfg file,
if all the values of time extend/retract are set to 0, we won t be able to
change them via aircraft editor via Save&resync.; If there is at least one
value which isn t set at 0, so we will be able to change all values vian the
editor. To be confirmed.

Hi oliv! Sorry for not response earlier, I wrote you at YT! Tadaaaa, I have
neeeeew probleeems! :smiley:

Hi Tibor, yes i have read your answer. I m sure there is a solution about the
noze gear. There are no reason that it doesn t work like other rear gears.
Yes, the editor has some little problems when initial values are all set to 0.
But your gears must work !

When your problem will be solved, i would like someone to explain (me) how the
“Steering template” works. I was using rudder anim to anim nose gear but i m
not sure this is the officlal way of moving nose gear.
