Random questions about anything NEAR and IN the realm of YSFlight
2) How do i import two sceneries?
3) CIVAV online chat client (Channel is #OpenYS)
4) .DAT variables
5) CLA tables
6) OfficerFlake's: Guide for starting off on modding
7) Tutorials
8.1) DD-Destroyer: How to make ground objects.
8.2) AdityaB: How to make ground objects.
9) What is "Fly heading Bug"?
Hello all,
I thought it's best to start a topics like this, so that questions that might not have filled before or to make searches easier for glitch readdressal, and so that small and basic questions/tit-bits which have answers like yes or no and single liners are not lost in the YS Mini Chat
I hope its ok to start this topic....
Administrators have full control and can make this topic hosted by YSFHQ Official user or/and deleting the topic (if useless) or/and sticky the topic under YS Support
I started this topic because of the many small and basic questions asked in Mini Chat, and many making the point of "this could be a thread"...
No offence meant anywhere
This thread can have questions like:
"Is this possible?"
"how is this done?"
"how is this corrected?"
"where is this found?"
"maybe we can have this..."
etc, etc, etc
Please keep questions related near to or in YS Flight ...
like: small and tiny doubts/questions in YSF, blender, scenery editor, 3rd party programs....
The spoiler: FAQ ON YSF, will be updated with the most frequently questions for newbies, unregistered communities, users who have got to familiarize with YSF addon creation.....
I request the Administrators to also update the spoiler for FAQ (Thank you ) as Administrators have full control So go ahead and type in your queries you have (file them) on this thread instead of Mini Chat
Regards

Re: Random questions about anything NEAR and IN YSFlight
first of all, @Quan VoQuan Vo wrote:Ok so I've this question: Is there any possibilities to put pilot into the cockpit?
Regard
1) if you have the file, well and good, else get it out from somewhere with permission
2) import the aircraft file and the pilot file into blender, and position the pilot wherever he/she feels comfortable....
done...
secondly, @YSFHQ, the basic purpose of this topic to keep these questions alive somewhere in the forum, instated of loosing them in MiniChat...
also, there may be questions that are a little itchy but atleast future newbies in the field of modding and construction know where to look for it/get them in the search results....if i remember correctly, i had questioned the question as above......so if they have these kind of question, they can be redirected to this place, if it has that question answered/unanswered/which can be discovered and answered

ok noted... But i guess my computer satisfies the requirements .... two problems actually... 1) scenery editor crashes when ground objects are moved around 2) sceneries blank out on adding ground objects
my personal opinion: questions like these are not supposed to be lost in mini chat, thanks
Thanks for the help

For example: if you delete a surf in the part tree, it only deletes it in the part tree. The .srf file is still very much present and taking up space in the .dnm file.

a)
yes, rotated when isolated by object modedecaff_42 wrote:How did you rotate the rudder when isolated? If you rotated in object mode you must reset all location, rotation and scale data by using crtl->a->1.
but still, it happens, this what i did and happened:
1) i isolate rudder
2) object centered at the lower hinge, brought to 0,0,0, rotated on x by 6+degrees, and 36+degrees on y
2.5) Ctrl+a+1
3) add empty
4) make parent
5) assign CLA,
5.5) Insert key (i forgot to insert this in the previous message )
5.75) check if working........perfect
6) rotated object via empty 6- on x, 36- on y
7) object unisolated, brought back to position
8) checking, and bam! the rotation happens only after coming back 6+ on x, 36+ on y.....why?
Thanks a lot for the help
b)
gear animation, aileron is assigned but doesnt work, why?......elevators working perfectly
notice the rudder it moved again, although it was noticed in blender, but its not working!
yeah thats my WIP!
gear animation was supposed to be for those black tubes under the belly......it should have been hanging, its not...
elevator are perfect, ailerons are not....
Thanks a lot again
2)
what is the secret that every modder knows on how to keep an object over the ground tottally instead partially in and out?

Yeah it's a tutorial but even dragon did not fully understand the program.NightRaven wrote:...Patrick31337 wrote:I've never seen any tutorials for using DNMviewer.
viewtopic.php?f=147&t=3761
And the guide is a bit general. It would be nice if someone who is familiar could add to his tutorial or make a new one. Even if it's a simple screen recording on him/her using the tool and adding some commentary.

Re: Random questions about anything NEAR and IN YSFlight
Pretty much "fly heading bug" tells the auto pilot to fly in a straight line heading xxx degrees where xxx is the setting of the heading bug.

Re: Random questions about anything NEAR and IN YSFlight
This means that if your models base is 0, and your gear position is -1m, your model will hover 1m above the ground.

Sorry for Late Response...OfficerFlake wrote:Press "L" a few times and you'll see "Heading bug" up the top left. Then, in HUD cockpit mode, press 7 and 8 to rotate the heading bug that appears on the compass (you'll work it out when you see it).
Pretty much "fly heading bug" tells the auto pilot to fly in a straight line heading xxx degrees where xxx is the setting of the heading bug.
Ok..I Understand OfficerFlake...
Thanks..i Really Appreciate That..
