The New Look A380 is not ready yet

[doggie015]

I am having a few issues with the landing gear; attached is a .zip file for those that want to help.

and BTW: I have a new logo

Ok, I found a few problems:

• you're not using aircraft.dll (thus causing it to use spacecraft3.dll)
• you don't have a cockpit
• your flaps and gears aren't working
• and your landing points aren't in the right place(causing it to sink in the ground)

I can probably fix the 1st and 4th problems but i'm not sure about the 2nd and 3rd

Also since i'm tierd of making my ships for now (which means i'm pulling out), i'll team up with you ok?
(Besides, i'm the competition admin:lol

Try this,no dive.And sample how you cold make a gear animation.

I was trying to animate but...maybe I could if I have orginal non orb. mesh...

If could make any help,simple gear animation.

• you don't have a cockpit
• your flaps and gears aren't working
• and your landing points aren't in the right place(causing it to sink in the ground)

1. The move to spacecraft3.dll was a DELIBERATE choice
2. I do not plan to have a 2d panel or VC; just the generic 'glass cockpit' view (Unless someone wants to do that for me)
3. If you check the config file you will see that the animation is there; it is only for the front gear doors and is on a delay for when I workout which group the wheel is on
4. The landing points are unchanged from the aircraft.dll release (why it sinks I do not know)

Forgive my ignorance of the spacecraft/aircraft DLLs (I've always written custom ones), but why would you use spacecraft3.dll for an A380, which is clearly an aircraft, not a spacecraft?

 

[tl8]

Aircraft DLL does not have all the features that SC3 has.

Just download the beta 1.5 release on orbithangar and see for youself (It was losing engine thrust too low)
