Into Chisinau

[HaraldG 559]

Hi,

 

early morning: Time for a flight from Pipishegyi (Hungary) to Chisinau (Moldavia).

 

 

 

Now life comes to the plane

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Over Romania, the Carpathes come in sight.

 

 

Near Chisinau

 

 

Arrived

 

 

 

Have fun!

Regards,

Harald

Very nice...Chisinau city and airport custom work is a game changer!

Just beautiful! Thanks, Harald.

Ooooooo love the dawn shots and the Yak-40! :wub:

 

Might I be so bold as to suggest better parking spots for your GA and Helis? Not your fault as these were not included in the Afcad along with any approaches and relevant waypoints. 

 

p.s The An-74's contact points need tweaking.

 

[HaraldG 559]

Many thanks HLJames, Mark and Ed.

 

Chisinau is no big airport. But the scenery has a lot to discover. Nevertheless, as Ed points out, there's still something to do.

Regarding the contact points of the An-72 - here I experience one of these strange FS9 phenomenons. The picture clearly shows that the wheels sink into the ground. But I started I new flight at LUKK just some minutes ago - now the same plane hovered above the ground...

Regarding the contact points of the An-72

 

Hello Harald, I have have just check my list of AI aircraft and to my surprise it does not include an An-72. Could you tell me where you got yours and I will check it out.

 

edit* I have found a SBAI An-72

 

In my experience static pitch/heights are something all developers forget to check properly.

[HaraldG 559]

Yes Ed, it's the SBAI model.

[edetroit 933]

These are the corrected contact points. But I cannot get it to show up at my airport at all!   I'm too tired.

 

[contact_points]

static_pitch = 0

static_cg_height = 9.05

tailwheel_lock = 0

gear_system_type = 0

max_number_of_points = 3

 

point.0 = 1, 18.8156, 0, -13.64, 1400, 0, 1.25, 60, 1.1, 1.0909, 0.9, 10, 11, 0, 216, 230

point.1 = 1, -9.5075, -6.55, -13.65, 1850, 1, 1.75, 0, 1.8, 0.8, 0.9, 10, 11, 3, 216, 230

point.2 = 1, -9.5075, 6.55, -13.65, 1850, 2, 1.75, 0, 1.8, 0.8, 0.9, 10, 11, 3, 216, 230

[HaraldG 559]

Ed, thanks much for the contact points.

However, there are still problems (childs didn't let me the time for testing further).

 

With your values, I also didn't see the plane, but then I looked from nearby:

 

I changed then back to "max_number_of_points = 11" with this result:

 

Same with "static_cg_height = 7.3"

 

And back to the original values:

 

And this...

 

is the result with the following values:

 

[contact_points]
static_pitch = 1
static_cg_height = 7.3
tailwheel_lock = 0
gear_system_type = 0
max_number_of_points = 11

point.2 = 1, -22.49, 6.96, -9.1, 1850, 2, 1.68, 0, 0.5, 0.65, 0.9, 10, 11, 3, 216, 230

Hello Harald, is it possible you have the SBAI An-72 version 1? I have the version 2 and the contact points are nothing like yours.

 

I have tried all the tricks in the book and cannot get my An-72 to show.

 

Perhaps you would be so kind as to send me yours. I would really like some An-72/74 action.

[edetroit 933]

Never mind Harald. I have been faffing about for a good half a day trying to work out why my An-74 would not show.

 

And then I came across something I did not know.

 

"In the aircraft.cfg file for each repaint there is an entry

atc_airline=

If there is anything in that line - the repaint is AIRLINE traffic.

If there is nothing in that line - the repaint is GA traffic.

 

Of course I had nothing in that line and my GA traffic off!

[HaraldG 559]

Oh, that was new to me, too.

I'm currently packing a copy of my An-72... still interested?

[edetroit 933]

Thank you Harald but no. After giving the airline a name all is tickety boo.

 

Very nice model....so nice I had to slap a photo on it.  :wub:

 

[HaraldG 559]

No problem.

Nice how the Ukrainians meet in Moldova!
