Well, sure.  But I've been making add ons for 16 years.  It's not something easily overlooked.  When a dev is animating a wheel, it's 2nd nature to work up from making the wheel rotate, then animating the suspension, then animating the steering, then animating the retraction.  It's done that way because of the multiple parenting of animations needed, that eventually parent up to the root animation.  The retraction.  Missing an entire animation in the middle of the order of animating them, is...unusual.

Makes sense,  Thanks,

Has anyone tried the ADS-B function on one of the Online Networks yet?

It works absolutely brilliant with PSXT!

Did you read all what I said, and sorry that was too many words for you 🙂. It's not known yet if suspension/gear modelling and compression improvements (or handling of) is part of the ground physics revamp in MSFS (well, at least I don't know). If it is, then yes it's an omission on iniBuilds' part to not take advantage of that.

It *is* confirmed per what iniBuilds said at that timestamp in the video that they are taking advantage of the new ground contact model (so that at least enables all the other improvements in ground handling, taxiing, etc).. I read your "Now when it's shown that a brand new top of the line top of the price line add-on actually has no landing gear physics at all" comment to mean that you were saying they weren't taking advantage of the new ground physics at all.
 

I read, and it's not the quantity of the words at all, I can put it through ChatGPT to dumb it down for me 😉 I just don't understand why everything has to be debated.  

It's a clear omission and yet here we are first saying sim physics aren't even important to landing and ignore it and even with people showing there are no landing physics what-so-ever, the plane just appears rigid we are still going back and forth.  

If anything should be a clear, "yep. that can't be right" it should have been this but alas let's bicker and argue instead.   No, I didn't mean it wasn't using any of the updated ground physics they clearly showed "tire squat" in the preview video so having a tire that squats but a landing gear that doesn't clearly isn't right.

In the context of things, I literally just laughed at that.  Well played, sir.

Indeed. And in *cough*X-Plane*cough* even every default plane has suspension. And not only since XP12 or XP11, but (IIRC) XP8^*, more that 20 years ago, as a friend of mine has shown me. Just sayin' 😉.

* Or even longer ...

I didn't remember correctly - I asked the above mentioned friend again and he told me it was X-Plane 6 (the oldest version he could download some years ago - it was released in 2001). Possibly suspension was modeled even earlier (in default planes, mind you 😉), but we don't know ...

EK001 LFBO - OMDB 🙂 on the way but how do you acticate TCAS on this bird ?

Michael Moe

the EK1 is actually DXB TO LHR and its filed as the UAE6VH, and its on a a380 not a a350

Im a stickler for detail as you know.

MSFS addons aren't, despite us being told they would be, that much cheaper than those on

I don't follow XP addons these days, but I've definitley got the feeling 2024 prices for scenery have crept up without providing any actual enhancements over 2020 versions. Lots of pretty mediocre stuff up in the 25 euro region on SImMarket

The question is not whether it works, the question is whether Callsign or Aircraft Registration is displayed. With AIG and BATC you get Registration and that is not helpful since then you can't connect the aircraft you see to the radio comms you hear.

I think inbuild disturbed the balance of universe! LOL All of sudden other developers and xplane lover can't sleep peacefully anymore! LOL

The universe is almost certainly disturbed at the lack of nose wheel compression physics

I make add ons.  I work until 4am.  It'as currently 325am.  Occasionally I venture into several forums to see what's going on.  Maybe there are some people who would like to know how animations in 3D models work.  Just a guess.

Stops by Avsim before heading to gym. Sees 3 pages of back and forth about MLG compression in latest addon release. The lads never let me down. Well done, be back later.

Well that's great 🙂, and ya not everything has to be debated hotly, this is a discussion forum so decent debate is to be expected. Re: sim physics not being important to landings, I presume you're talking about what Farlis said and he can explain more. But that's not what I'm saying, nor various others.

Once again, ini is clearly taking advantage of some of the new ground physics improvements (that helps with taxiing, modelling of braking/skidding/etc and carrying of momentum properly, etc), and yes it's also clear that the landing compression physics is not there (what's not clear is if that's an omission on their part, or if the sim platform doesn't provide for good modelling of that).
