OK. But put it back to 1.5.
The AF ratio will probably land somewhere above 50 and less than 100. It has a big impact as this specifies the fuel flow relative to the air flow. If this is too low, your fuel consumption will be too high. It's likely your problem.Cool, this is a lead, thanks
I Sir!
Sweet! That did the trick! Flies like a dream
Excellent. It's a proper air breathing engine model, so power will decrease with altitude, as will rotor thrust. A fun test is to see how high you can fly it and see if it matches the service ceiling. Wiki suggests that this is around 20,000 ft or 6300 m.Sweet! That did the trick! Flies like a dream
Max HP output = 322. Official HP = 317!
By the way, I love the mesh, it's very well built.
I'll be porting the code to Windows very soon. In the meantime, you can find the code for the Linux version here: https://github.com/MatiasSaibene/Sikorsky_R-4_Helicopter_for_Orbiter
If you are using my touchdown points it should float level. It looks like the cg is too far forward.
That was a major motivation
If you push it it'l just go over 6500m, so a service ceiling of 6300m checks out
, but the code is still a little daunting for me. The DG comes with an autopilot which could be adopted but attempts so far have failed.
Oh my god! That metallic shader is perfectly beautiful!That was a major motivation

Unfortuneately spent far too much time on code, and am getting nowhere, stumbling on very basic issues! The intention was to add an auto level.
@Gondos has done an excellent job porting the Atlantis and DG to LUA
Otherwise everything except a minor lighting issue is running perfectly!
And something good did come from all the "Büffeln", delving through the docs I found out that metal maps are supported! (new in Orbiter2024?!)
Makes the helis look crazy cool.

If your CG is properly located below the rotor mast it should level all by itself when you release the controls with no level autopilot needed.Unfortuneately spent far too much time on code, and am getting nowhere, stumbling on very basic issues! The intention was to add an auto level.

It's very stable, I've fine tuned the COG, with a very minimal preference to pitch down/forward as apposed to the opposite. An auto level would be more for conveinience than necessity, but I wouldn't say it self corrects, it seems rather to mantain attitude?
Yes, but bear in mind, very poor quality (pixelation), and very low refresh rates (even if set to max in d3d9), I don't know how good that would work on a small surface. And I would suggest using the (old) .cfg material based method, easier to implement for a single object.I am wondering if that metallic effect could be used to make some pseudo rear view and wing mirrors for my VW thing. Can't actually see anything, but it would add to the immersion. A steering wheel would also probably add some immersion too.
Very interesting. How exactly do you apply this? Is it a special texture?
They are the D3D9+ additional texture maps. black/white dxt1 .dds files (they just have the extension _spec.dds etc.).
Landscape has low resolution, so it's difficult to evaluate the quality of the "mirror". Maybe try to look at the reflection of the DG in this "mirror". Or some mesh with text.
