This patch adds main gear rotations about the fuselage attach points that keep the wheels in contact with the ground as the compression increases and decreases. I also rotated the main fairings and wheels 4 degrees so the wheel axles are horizontal sitting on the ground. The left and right main gear struts, wheels, and fairings were adjusted to be mirrored (symetric) in the c172p.ac. I also increased the rpm boundary between the Propeller and Propeller.slow selects.
Patch goals:
1. Implement instrument and pannel lights controled by the nav-light switch.
2. Use Instruments-3d/vor which includes GS flag and filters for smooth movement of cdi and gs needles to and from parked position.
3. Adjust model and pilot view per the agreed to changes in Re: [Flightgear-devel] c172p pitch at cruise question, 12/06/2008 02:27 PM. These changes were never committed.
-new better panel
-added lights and made them switchable
-doors can be open now (pick animation)
-added some liveries by Brett Harrison
-added paintkit by Brett Harrison
-converted liveries to png
-replaced radio stack with 3d-radios, DME and marker-lights yet missing
-minor bugfixes
-added glass shader with fresnel effect
still work on the interior to do like the seats, walls and so on...
A big step at bringing the default aircraft into the state it actually
deserves.
Features:
- new, accurate exterior modell, modelled with original 3-views by Cessna
- textures with shadow shading
- livery changing sytem over mp
- immatriculation over mp
- glass shader with fresnel effect
- nearly complete 3d-panel
Known Bugs:
- Radio_Stack shines through the fuselage. New 3d radio_stack has yet to be done.
To-Do:
- Suction-Instrument
- Interior with much more details and painting
- Radio_stack
- doors openable
- lights
- fully animation of the gear
- failure system by Erobo
