Re: [COMPETITION] Best Ugly Aircraft

I guess ugly is in the eye of the beholder, but when I look back on this beast from 2015, I still recoil in horror and wonder "what was I thinking..?" Behold, the AV-52 Grizzly.

Re: Designing Air Race Maps

Hi guys. I've grabbed the Raceway Map from (I think) TF58/PMNV and been fiddling with it. Here are some of the waypoint ground objects and course markers I've made. The red / green port / starboard helps avoid confusion. Everything's pretty much based on the work of others. race 1.jpg Start gate wit...

Re: Current Projects

Well, the only way to finish one fictitious plane is to start on another. In my usual tradition of weird small planes with big guns, I'm working on a little something called... the FLEA. FLEA.jpg It's as much about the function of the DAT as the form of the DNM. It sort of does VTOL without having t...

Re: [AIRCRAFT] Mudskipper EDFX - The Ultimate Ground Attack Plane?

UPDATE : This is the upgraded (and I hope finally finished) Mudskipper EDFX. Latest improvements are a new hull design, internal rotary rocket launchers and enclosed landing gear. With the DAT file and flight characteristics, I've tried to create a plane that can make low, slow attack runs (ideal f...

Re: [SCENERY] Island Defense

Sure thing. To attach the STP to your carrier: 1) in Scenery Editor select ground object "USS_KEARSARGE_LHD3" 2) click "Ground Object" from the top menu then "Set Tag and ID" and type in KEARSARGE (or whatever name you want) in the Tag box 3) select STP kearsarge (top m...

Re: Island Defense

Quick and dirty... just how I like 'em.
Possible bug: had to tag the Kearsarge "KEARSARGE" and attach the start position to it, otherwise you just blow up.
Otherwise, I can see this being a regular map to revisit!

Re: Current Projects

The trouble with building a speculative design is it’s always a work in progress. I’ve released this once or twice (or thrice?) already and thought I’d wait until the design settled before doing so again. Still waiting for it to settle, but it's definitely going somewhere...

Re: Scenery Editor ver.20090426

Or maybe I need a way to translate the newer FLD files (those with keywords like BASEELV and MAGVAR) back to 2009 compatibility. There must be other factors also, which escape me... Simply trying to manually remove any spurious keywords only leads to the FLD file not working at all. Saving anything ...

Re: Scenery Editor ver.20090426

Has there been a stable version since the 2009 one? Or is it just the 20140909 test version? The 2009 won't open newer FLDs with BASEELEV keywords and such. Looking for anything on the YSFlight official site only lead to confusion. Perhaps someone could paste links to other versions (if they exist) ...

Re: C05MIC's underground aerospace research facility

Some sleek & interesting shapes happening there. Look forward to a release of some kind. Keeping the poly count low is one of the challenges / pleasures of modelling in YS. I'd recommend using single .srf components and duplicating them multiple times to keep the filesize down, especially comple...

Re: [AIRCRAFT]C-10/H10

This is during live play. It looks OK in DNMViewer, but not in-game. Solved it by rotating the fan mesh face-up and giving the CLA 3 a single -90 degree turn. Otherwise a great little plane!

Will check out the (A?)380-800 and see.
