Mysteriously I just tested the andfly sphere at the ghedi airport and everything went smoothly ...

From the shadows I appear early in the morning or late in the evening.
Maybe, at that time, they had other things to do ..... =D =D

Try this FDM, cleaned up from the  <external_reactions>  section that I was unable to make but that I forgot to delete ...

If you want to try to optimize the XML file .... feel completely authorized !

Niente da fare !  :(   pazienza...uso il file XML del mig è volo la sfera come un mig ...mmh... :'(   ..magari prima o poi scopro quale è l'inghippo.  Aspetterò se funziona nella prossima versione di outerra.

I made a slight restoration to the model of the Sphere, no revolution, only the refinement of some parameters for the automatisms that should increase the playability and control.
I also cleaned up the JsbSim XML file from the unused garbage and balanced the number of fuel tanks with that of the engines ...

It is possible to download the new "otx" at the same address provided at the beginning.

Still ... have fun!  :)

I had some free time and dedicated myself to the restoration of this model.
I think I found the cause of the malfunction highlighted by users and corrected it.
I also took the opportunity to improve it a little.

If some "daredevil" wants to try again ...   ::)

hey andfly !
nice to see you still finding some time for outerra.
Yes it now works fine. No longer causing those problems I had.
And wow you found the way to add the milky way to the night sky !
Only one question: in normal navigation (not hyperdrive) it seems the max speed is around 1200 km/h. Is that right or am I doing something wrong ?

Hello,  Marco

Nothing wrong.
The flight speed is subordinated to the flight altitude.
If you stay even closer to sea level your top speed will be even lower.
But, if you increase the flight altitude, decreasing the density of the atmosphere, you will be able to travel much faster.

You found the Milky Way immediately !!
It is an additional mod, called during the initialization of the Sphere, extremely simple at the programming level (much less simple to be able to size everything so that the overlap with the Outerra sky was acceptable and synchronized ...) and little demanding of resources.
It is not as perfect as I would like because it is not covered by clouds and loses brightness with increasing altitude, contrary to how it should be in reality.
It could be a suggestion for developers who, of course, would be able to implement it internally, directly in the Outerra code and ... better than mine.

I wish you have fun !   :D
