MC-130 coming along really well

21.6k OverlordPrime  1.1 years ago
The progress on the MC-130 [lite] from TFS, which itself is based on the real world YMC-130 is slow but steady. Not much changes to the body of the aircraft but new functional changes where made. The aircraft is capable of almost instantaneous take off with JATOL. And it can easily take off from USS tiny without hitting the tower. And landing is also quick. But i am facing some problems with the code. As of now I am trying to make the JATOL trigger after Activate1 and Throttle above 50% and for some reason it won't take off as fast but when doing a manual boost it takes off instantly. Got to rewrite the code for automatic mode. And the code for landing needs further refining. I wish I could share a video but the moment I turn on the screen recorder, the game starts to lag badly.
If everything goes well, I am expecting to finish it within this week, there is no guarantee as i am too lazy.

And finally, T for tag.

    @upperflat never mind, I figured it out. The problem was the rear boosters being angled down after deploying, causing a nose down tendency which delayed the take off.

    @upperflat the engine responds fast. I have set the throttleResponse to 10000. It's like a rocket booster going off. Instantaneous thrust. The problem seems to be something with the game. In automated mode the booster engages when Throttle > 90% and when Activate1 is true. That's when the aircraft needs a bit of room to take off. Maybe it's because throttle and Activate 1 is being turned on at the same time. But with manual boost, when pressing FireWeapons button, it takes off instantly. So instantaneous that you could technically call it a vertical take off.
    I will tag you anyway. Maybe you will see something I don't.
