V-22 model + Harrier flight characteristics= VTOL?

Postby DONTREADMYUSERNAME » Sun Jul 20, 2008 8:32 pm

Alright, today I had the bright idea to try to fix this V-22 Osprey I've had since forever. It doesn't have the full helicopter like VTOL abilities, it merely can just land at extremely slow speeds, like 5 knots. But, I had the freeware UKMIL harrier that has full "helicopter like" characteristics. So I thought, why not just copy the nessecary parts of the Harrier's cfg file into the Ospreys config file? So I tried several different parts like the Flaps.0 and flaps.1 and the engine ones. None worked. Then I tried copying everthing in the cfg except the [flightsim.XX] part. So now I have an Osprey that can approach mach one but I still cannot get it to do all of the helicopter like moves I can do in the harrier.

CAN ANYONE HELP ME?!

I would have thought the XXX.air file would have the most effect on that.  

But still, a near-mach Osprey sounds fun.  :D

VTOL does not exist in FS.
In order to simulate it anyway, a great module was produced from a guy at SimOuthouse: the rcbo gauges. Yeah, it's the same guy that made the aircraft carrier gauges :)
If you go through the downloads, you should be able to find those gauges for the Osprey... and since I believe the UKMIL Harrier is already using them, you might manage to find what you need by looking closely at the panel.cfg of that Harrier. Some lines might need to be tranfered to your Osprey panel :)

Thanks Daube, but now I need to fix the "static thurst" setting it doesnt lift the osprey even with it virtually empty. Anyone know of a good setting?
