Newest EDM Model Tools

[trietnguyen]

your welcome

but be careful !

tail rotor rotation needs 2*-5* times rotations more (means 720-1800 degrees rotations) than main rotor 360 degrees rotation (depends of helicopter)

unfortunatelly many helicopter got default-wrong tail rotor rotation animations in DCS :(

questions:main rotor

fps=????

speed=1/2x or 1x,...2x.4x...

[NRG-Vampire]

Tail rotor RPM : Main rotor RPM = 4.6 : 1

Is there any way to open the city and town .blk files?

There are no public tools to open output files. Im not even sure if any exist in general

I would really like to redo the tree assets in game around the cities and towns but I am limited with the file format access.

[luckybob9]

.blk files include more than just trees from what my memory is telling me. Think of them as templates that contain buildings, trees, own textures, etc.

Yes, I did figure this was the case...

Big thank :smartass:

Big thank :smartass:

 

uhh, sorry :doh: i thought we are talking about seahawk/blackhawk rotors (4.6 : 1)

 

osprey - does not matter: same rotation (RPM) for left and right rotors/propellers

 

left rotor rotation: clockwise

right rotor rotation: anti-clockwise

Since there is no argument for blade pitch, I would say use the wheel argument. wheels down = blades up, wheels up = blades pitched forward

yeah, or flap animations: Arg 9 and Arg 10

 

i think flap Args are better - if you speeding up, flaps will automatically slowly raised (FC3) - aircraft mode (flaps up)

 

sorry Zach but are you talking about rotor tilt ?

Does the ospray have flaps? If it does maybe use both arguments. flaps for blades from horizontal 45 degrees. Wheels for 45 degrees to vertical

yes, have flaps ;)

 

not the best video but visible how/when work/raise

i am asking everybody and Alex O'kean: can the SFM (FC3.dll) handle a non-horizontal thrust ?

 

a rotating thrust by connectors ? or is it always AFM ?

 

yes, i would like to get SFM VTOL aircrafts (first) :thumbup:

 

i hope E.D. is going to add/sell/implement more SFM FC3-style aircrafts

 

of course AFM DCS-style aircrafts should be better (later) but these need too much time :(

Not sure about SFM. But with EFM it's possible.

[NRG-Vampire]

thought, but as far as i know (external flight model) EFM = a non E.D.'s AFM ? right ? so it's "too" complicated and needs too much works/times

 

but in SFM "everything" is simple:

thrust brings speed

speed brings lift and drag

 

but we need "only" lift without speed :)

I set:(same rotation)

fps =100

start time=0

end time=720

0->360 foward

360->720 revert

slowly rotating propeller!!!

Yes and yes. It's especially time-consuming if you are not a professional programmer and/or (aeronautical) engineer. Creating aircraft in FSX is possible for anyone... creating aircraft in DCS is not.

 

but in SFM "everything" is simple:

It's in the name. :) SFM is simplified. It cannot simulate anything but horizontal thrust. (A decent V/STOL aircraft is simply not possible.)

If your flaps are big enough, you don't need vertical thrust:

 

 

Joking of course, but that is actually how most of the MSFS VTOL mod planes worked.

yes, that's true, i tested SFM a lot but lift come about min. 80 kmph / 55 mph so that's not a S/VTOL :(

 

unfortunately SFM aircraft needs speed for lift ( thrust and flap surface does not matter up to this minimum speed )

How can we use the EDM Plugins with 3Ds Max 2013 x64 ?

I have try to installing the EDM Plugin but no support for the 2013 is available, even the version 2014 of the software its now available...And i can't check box (i have try cause maybe with luck the 2012 EDM plugin can work with the 2013 but nothing).

Any solution or any future support ?

You dont. They only support 2010,2011,2012. Future supported .max versions is unknown

fantastic :thumbsup:

ok i guess it is beta but can you give us a download link ?

we will help you if we can

 

by the way: is it LOM or EDM model ?

I have try on the trial version of 2012 and when i opening any 3D object all i get is : File Open Failed
