Title: Fokker Dr1 [WIP-WIP-WIP]
Post by: booz on June 02, 2016, 05:09:24 pm
Hi guys,

Just some screenshots of my model, Still a lot of work to do... but I can fly :o :o

thank to Acetone for his help  :P.

I use at the moment the script of the Heinkel_He51 / Rafale M / ZS-23-2 (Levi/PytonPago/Zzz).... But I do not really understand what I'm doing  :facepalm: :facepalm:

Actually it's a bitch to fly..... and yes I do have a jsbsim flight model done for it...

It's old, 2 years plus.... pretty accurate, just not the spin quality I'm looking for... but you'll work hard, just to get her off the ground and you'll never take your hand off the joystick.

I'll need to do some work converting from flightgear to here.

I'll go check it out.

No it's not fun, it's a genuine eye opener into the workload of a WWI pilot... there's no trim, it's a full on engine throttle and fixed pitch prop and the engines a rotary, giving enough torque on take off to turn it into a fight to the death just to get into the air.. This plane could never have been given to a novice pilot.

I remember doing the flight model and thinking... no ones going to fly this. If I release it all I'll get is requests to make it simpler... because in their minds it's clearly wrong.

That might be pessimistic, as the planes in Rise of Flight can be similarly unforgiving and many people love it.......

Well I did this flight model for flightgear and I can assure you there aren't many people there that'd love it..

I also think you're missing the fundamental reason why it's fun on rise of flight.... you're in combat and you have a plane that outclimbes your oponents allowing you to get out of trouble, because he who has the height wins the fight.. Now under those circumstances you can forgive any amount of work.

If you're going for a jolly however and just look at the scenary.... this flight model aint for you.

So it's very much horses for courses and Outerra as yet doesn't have the combat element sufficient that an authentic flight model becomes valid... it'd get a cursory glance, 99% of people wouldn't even get it off the ground at the first attempt... I know I didn't.

So if we want people to fly this plane in a non-combat environment, put the cesna flight model on it... by all means give people the option of using an authentic version.

This is just my experience, that when it comes right down to it, with this level of flight sim that Outerra has at present pushing an authentic flight model does more damage that good.

Give Outerra balastics, probability damage modelling and online play and it's a different tune I'd be singing.
