@Bomber
The JSbsim launches

However

1. I get these errors in the log -- print several time

Code: Select all

Is this concern to you?

2. The jsbsim-set.xml could have a better name, like UH-1-jsbsim-set.xml, or something of that sort, if you dont mind?

If we gave everybody in the World free software today, but we failed to teach them about the four freedoms, five years from now, would they still have it?

@Bomber

Except this output alerts, the JSBsim UH-1 is the most maneuverable Helicopter I've ever managed in FG

Awesome work!


My joystick was not responding so I had to fly it by mouse. Any ideas?

I may have disabled the joystick.....will have a look.

I too fly using a mouse and throttle, so not aware of the joystick issue.

Hi Bomber
I renamed the set file then

https://github.com/FGMEMBERS-NONGPL/UH- ... 62fea64bf2

Also,
here is a log of my test flight.

A very gentle soul, this Huey is. (even kinder than the scorpio)
Thanks a lot.
Your FDMs, as always, are top-notch

Best,
IH

If you press the s key and shutdown the engne, it does a nice autorotation to the ground.

Also if you go sit in the slidedoor position the helicopter will remain on a steady course and the mouse will allow you to adjust the alt....
You can also.open the door.

Cycle through the views till you're behind the pilot.
