Bristol Sycamore Beta

Very nice for a beta:applause: Only available for members at CBFsim.

Don't worry, I am a 'mod' there and even I missed it!

Rick is a complete perfectionist, but lack of cockpit details (he is awaiting a museum to re-assemble their real version) has meant the project stalling.
I have had the FS9 beta for years and it flies better than any other FS9 helo ever made! If you think you cannot fly a helo, try this!

As far as I know, the model (being WIP) will NEVER be legally uploaded to the usual sites.

So if you want a copy, join CBFS, it's free and we are all rather 'nice chaps' too!!!
 
Took a flight out to St. Kilda. Started out with light rain that went to marginal conditions as neared the island, but found the helipad and landed without incident. :)

Rick, really like the rotor animation. For a beta it handles pretty good. :applause:
 
It really looks wonderfull. I cannot wait to take her up for some testing :jump:
Thank you HU, Roger.

Hi Guys

If any other Developers have a formula for convincing Amber anti glare upper perspex i would be interested as i cannot get it to look right in the top of the cabin :kilroy:

the rotor effect is experimental as i like the way Tamas (Nemeth Designs) does the spinning rotors sort of half visible :icon29:

I have tried PM; ing the ND guys but they still have not read my message 2 years on :monkies: still sitting in my ND outbox!

Regards
Rick
 
well im not a helo guy
but i will try :173go1:
its not that i dont like them they dont like me:isadizzy:
Thanks

Hello Rick,

The HR14 sycamore helicopter model is wonderful. I have downloaded rhe FsX/AEP version. I like the virtual cockpit of your model.. We can look down like in the real helicopter. The 3D model and textures sets are high quality. Bravo

On my computer, when I arm the hoist (ctrl+u) the right door open. That the normal with the parameters used in the aircraft.cfg file. So I have modified the folowing sections in the aircraft.cfg file in order to arm the hoist without openig the right door.

[exits]
number_of_exits=3
exit_rate.0=0.3
exit_rate.1=0.7
exit_rate.2=0.5


[Sling.0]
hoist_extend_rate = 5 //Feet per second
hoist_retract_rate = -5 //Feet per second
position = 2.55, 2.943, 3.620 //Feet from datum ***** 2.943, 2.943, 3.620
max_stretch = 2.0 //Max stretch distance at ultimate load
damping_ratio = 0.6 //0 for no damping to 1.0 for critically damped.
rated_load = 500 //Characteristics tension of cable in pounds
ultimate_load = 1000 //Breaking force in pounds
tolerance_angle=75 //Angle, in degrees, used to determine lateral breaking force limit
auto_pickup_range = 18 //Max Range, in feet, for auto-pickup
auto_pickup_max_speed = 18 //Maximum speed (feet per second) for auto-pickup
hoist_payload_station = 2 //Payload station in which the hoist will load in and out of. 1 is first station.
hoist_door=3 //Door associated with hoist. Must be open for use. ****** 1


In other terms, I have added a fictious door and I have specified this door in the [Sling.0] section. I have also slightly modified the position of the hoist.

Now on my computer, when I arm the hoist the right door does not open. Once again thank you very much for this wonderful helicopter model. Have a good day

Hi Benoit

I had it all working already but forgot that after i cut out the doors it would do that.

I set up the winch etc long before i cut the doors.

Well spotted

Regards
Rick
