Is there a way to change spawn height? My plane spawns about 2m above ground.

[angrypig]

Spawn height depends on the camera position and there is a minimum height limit hard coded to 1.5m. I can replace the 1.5m with the value computed from the object bounding box. Will be this solution enough or you want to set this value explicitly?

[ddenn]

I think small distance from bounding box should be enough.

Default Cessna spawns very good, it doesn't affected by 1.5m limit?

[angrypig]

1.5m was tuned explicitly for cessna...

is there a possibility to output values like engine rpm into the debug console, or output them in any way ?

[angrypig]

yes, in the next update i already added this function to the API...

[Chaoz]

i try to display the rpm on the indicator in the aircraft and it seems to behave quite weird. I have a range of 0-2000 rpm from 0-180 degrees where 0 is on the left. That means that 1 rpm is 0,09 degrees, up until 1000 rpm it behaves correctly but when i go to 100% throttle the needle goes almost up to 2400 rpm. Now I am curious if the rpm is really so high or if there is something wrong with me-..

Just getting into the Exporter and using JBSIM: Once I am comfortable I will be creating some video tutorials on how to import and incorporate JBSIM with your new model.

Just to show you my past work, this is what the vids will look like.

Mustang....you da man.  Looking forward to your efforts.  I'm ...a bit lost.  X-Plane makes this stuff too easy!

Thanks a lot for that material ! ... looking forward for more.

I noticed when you import a model the 'quality' of the mesh is significantly less than in 3dsMax, is this normal, or is there a setting to get full quality, by quality I mean that it seems to square corners etc, in my example my wheels are not very round.

[cameni]

You probably haven't exported it at that quality. I guess you have some mesh modifiers attached to a rough base mesh there and didn't specify them to be converted to a mesh on export.
Or something. OT doesn't reduce quality of the model, it takes what it's given.

[mustang60348]

I don't think I have any modifiers but I will definately check that out.

[mustang60348]

I verified that none of my nodes have modifiers on them,

2 questions:

There is a setting in the .objdef file called LOD_CURVE , what does this setting do and could it effect this , since I assume LOD = Level of Detail

Since I am exporting from 3dsmax, should my node be MESH objects or POLY objects or does it matter.
