Modder Update!  ^_^

• The default Cessna is a very nice plane, and I thought that it needed some upgrades. So here are the current upgrades I managed to implement so far:

- Landing lights & rotary beacon light | toggle using "gear" key.
- Flashing strobe lights.
- Navigation lights.
- Red cockpit light.
- Gauges lights.

- Animated Doors | They open when speed is below 0.1 knots, and flaps are extended.
- Working fuel quantity indicators.
- Working Oil Temperature indicator.
- Working Oil Pressure indicator.
- Working Exhaust Gas Temperature indicator.
- Working rudder pedals.
- The nose gear is now animated when steering.
- Animated tires.
- Ten different camera positions (use 'V' key).

If you have performance issues, you can always turn off the cockpit lights by opening the script (ALT+E) and at the top, set the first constantdisable_cockpit_lights to true.

Download
Will be included in the next Outerra update as well.

 Warning: The .oxt replaces the original plane.

Just a note! as of the first release, the OTX file may not always install correctly, and may have to be unzipped and placed manually in the main Anteworld "Packages" folder.

Mod-In-Progress:

 

From: Uriah George

 

I found a free 3d model to use as a placeholder on TurboSquid with Royalty Free License for All Extended Uses. I am contacting the creator to confirm I can modify it for Outerra.

Script works, just need to modify the FDM to UH-60 specs.

Regards,
Uriah

Mod-In-Progress:

 

From Uriah George

 

Conversion for Outerra Anteworld of Pjedvaj's Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II for Flight Gear, with a modified version of the JSBSim Flight Dynamic Model created by Erik Hofman. These works are covered under the GPL/GNU (General Public License) and give praise to their original creators.

http://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/fgaddon/HEAD/tree/trunk/Aircraft/F-35B/

I cannot release the F-35B publicly until I receive permission from Pjedvaj.

The current version demonstrates smooth transition between VTOL mode and forward flight with pitch and roll hold using thrust vectoring and thrust differential control. The flight controls use a fly-by-wire system to simulate the experience of flying the advanced 5th generation Joint Strike Fighter.

Regards,
Uriah

EDIT: P.S. The video features Cape Canaveral Air Force Station scenery thanks to Acetone!

A lot of cool news! Thanks for sharing them with us

A lot of cool news! Thanks for sharing them with us

 

I mentioned someplace else: Outerra is going into hyper-mode.

 

ALPHA RELEASE!

 

From: Uriah George

 

Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk v0.1    Download UH-60.GNU.otx

 

This uses free 3d model as a placeholder that I found on TurboSquid with a Royalty Free License for All Extended Uses. It is low poly, and the cockpit is poor quality, sorry. I'm trying to find one of higher quality with a virtual cockpit.

 

The FDM is still that of the AH-64 as I work on the UH-60 FDM, however it is all in one package now, instead before the FDM was scattered in a number of folders in ./Anteworld/jsbsim/.

 

Current Features:

• All helicopter FDM files contained within OTX (AH-64 is fragmented)
• In First Person View the camera shakes simulating motion and vibration
• Interior and exterior sounds
• Strobe lights
• Landing lights
• Cabin lights
• Light Switches at the top of script to easily turn lights on or off as desired

'H' key enables hover mode!

 

Suggestions and comments welcome. Enjoy! 

 

Regards,

Uriah

PythonPago is already a talented ground vehicle modder, but now he's working on a plane, the SU-39 M!

 

 

Still early WIP, of course

Outerramodels.com reorganized and is back better than ever at version 2.0

Well it has been a while but I am still here!
Just wanted to let you guys know the new site is up and running and looks beautiful!

We had some plugin conflicts on the old site after we updated and the site went nuts.  So instead of fixing it we redesigned from the ground up!  The new site is much more responsive and visually pleasing.

We are still adding all the old models from backup, but 80% is back up and it just felt like time to get things back up and running.

A note..  If you had an account on the Outerra Model library in the past, it may have gotten corrupted during the backup process.  If you are unable to login to your old account, simply message me With your email address and we will send you a password reset request so you can login and fully enjoy the site.

This is my contribution, A demo of Acetones LFNA Scenery test area. Its far from completion, but I think we can agree it looks awesome already. Acetone is a very patient guy for doing all this fiddly object placement without going nuts! (I made one airport and went nuts)

Awac9 shows off that sub MOD. Its also a good reminder that Outerra can depict things other  than flight.

WIP!

 

Wikipedia: The AgustaWestland AW101 is a medium-lift helicopter used in both military and civil applications. It was developed by joint venture between Westland Helicopters in the UK and Agusta in Italy in response to national requirements for a modern naval utility helicopter. Several operators, including the armed forces of Britain, Denmark and Portugal, use the name Merlin for their AW101 aircraft. It is manufactured at factories in Yeovil, England and Vergiate, Italy; licensed assembly work has also taken place in Japan and the United States.

This is an unofficial conversion for the AgustaWestland AW101 Merlin from AlphaSim/Virtavia. The conversion is done with Phil Perrott's Permission at virtavia.com.
