Markindel Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Using 3dsMax I created a windsock. I wish I could put in DCS World but I do not know how to turn it in the direction of the wind and lift on the strength of the wind. In the DCS World the smoke coming from chimneys moves in relation to the wind and this means that in the World DCS data are wind direction and intensity. But what are they? How can I do?

How can I do? would require scripting of some sort, with the weather system in sim. https://www.youtube.com/user/diveplane11 DCS Audio Modding.

Markindel Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 Hi Gunnergolly, Unfortunately I'm stuck because I do not know what values (arguments?) to assign to the movement of the wind sock. I hope in a help of experts from the ED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron886 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Markindel... again there are no arguments directly available for this task. I believe using the current system you could turn it into a turret (:D) but there is no way to point that turret into the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markindel Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 Thanks HungaroJet. There is an Italian proverb which says: "Chi di speranza vive, disperato muore" In English: " Who lives in hope, dies in despair". However, hope is the only thing we can do.

chaos Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Isn't there some sort of workaround to this? Would it be possible to use the smokestack object and replace the 3D model with a windsock.. sans smoke of course :) "It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage..."

They explained that the smoke from the chimneys is a "Dummy", that is an empty object that is positioned and then the sim is in charge of the movement and the sim these data do not make them available.

VIMANAMAN Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I wish then - that ED would incorporate it as a 'dummy' object, the same as smoke! It would be then as good as a chimney only easier to reference! A windsock is a 'basic' at any aerodrome! What happens with chimney smoke in dynamic weather I wonder? I'll check that out!?

Aginor Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Hey guys! Necro thread again because I was talking with the guys at lockonforum.de about that topic. Did ED meanwhile implement something like an animation argument for wind? Wind socks would be awesome.

SilentEagle Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 This is why I have added a keyboard button to the L-39 that retrieves weather info from the sim and displays it as a METAR printout on the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
