karbengo Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) Do I spy a B9 Style landing gear?? Finally! Boy was I longing for a descent looking airplane wheel set. Firespitter is good for prop plane but innapropriate for big jets, TTOmniweels is nice but I don't like the texture work, and stock landing gear just don't do it. I like this two-wheel gear in the pic but I hope there will be four wheel or even six wheel trolleys, like those on Airbus A380. I can't wait the next B9 release!

Turn angle uses the FS speed-based turning but peaks @ 45 degrees when youre barely moving. You can do 180 inside the runway bounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slye_Fox Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 It's awesome you're adding your own gear.Just wondering if you'll also do a large version for things like cargo planes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B787_300 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Hey Taverius... could you do a multi wheel trolley that just rolls... no steering or power? or just power but no steering? or is it a game limitation in the fact that there are multiple wheels vs just one or two?

Taverius Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Trolleys can't done right now. You can do multiple wheels so long as they share the axis, but things like this:Cannot be done right now.Well, you can model them and attach all the wheel colliders, but the trolley won't rotate so that all 4 wheels follow the ground so it would be stupid.It would require a custom hinge like DR/IR and yet another plugin and frankly its just not worth it.Power & Steering are toggleable in VAB/SPH Action Group mode or right click menu, and disabled by default.

B787_300 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 ah i understand now, also nice gear pic... did you chose it because of my name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasmic Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I just realized how big of a memory hog b9 aerospace is. It doesn't take up a lot of disk space, but almost every single texture is 1024*1024 pixels, and EACH of these take up 4mb of ram! There are even some *2048 textures among them, and they take 16mb of ram! I've just reduced my B9 pack to about a quarter of what it was. It still looks great.

Umlüx Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Thats what the Squad Texture Reduction Pack was made for can't live without B9, but i have to install the pack to run all my mods without crashing after some minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K3-Chris Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Btw the large landing legs in .22 will have suspension, meaning you can land at fairly high vertical speed and the mechanism absorbs some of the force (saw it demoed on the .22 twitch stream marathon), the B9 landing legs and any future landing gear could benefit from something similar I think.TT's modular multi-wheels comes with some landing gear with very nice suspension, can brake on the runway after landing even in very light planes and the nose just dips instead of the plane doing a front-flip like it does with stock, the stock landing gear supposedly has suspension but it must use a solid shock absorber or something.

B787_300 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Ptomble pictures would help, Also other information like what other mods are you using, what you posted is not informative enough for us to help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sochin Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 What I would like to see in 3.4 is modified cross sections of the great fuselages that BAC9 produced to be more inline with real world space planes (nearly flat bottomed-look at bobcats Klipper for an example).

PolecatEZ Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I just heard that the B9 reduction pack stripped the specular channels away, and I don't want that, so I did it myself.It doesn't do that at all, its just a straight size reduction of the .png files. No channels were harmed in the making of the redux pack. There are some artifacts with the intakes that I've noticed, but other than that I haven't seen any other issues. Cockpit details were left alone as well, just some of the individual props were shrunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taverius Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I think we're done with new parts for this update, and the stock crafts have been updated.Now we have to check all plugins are working, fix any that are not, and hook everything into R&D.Don't ask for an ETA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
