As I have announced in an earlier post, the release of this aircraft has been delayed until 1.9.202 is officially released.
With that, I kinda have more time to do some tweaks...
So I tried to replicate the ACTUAL Ju 288 landing gear... it's easier than I thought (although I had to use War Thunder gameplay video as a reference).
The new "smooth" function also enabled me (finally) to make proper landing gear bay doors.
The fully functional landing gear indication lights are also made possible by the new commands. I could even use the smooth function with different rates to reflect the different speed for each leg. (obviously tailwheel retracts faster than main landing gear)
When this is close to release, there will be a final teaser (obviously, that will be after the release of 1.9.202)
@asteroidbook345 Uh, space between minus sign and variable, and LG is just an abbreviation, you need to actually write "LandingGear" when doing it...
I suppose you should know....
@asteroidbook345 No need for that.
Same thing, smooth LG function.
And then: (assume you're smoothing from -1 to 1)
Landing gear movement : -0.5 ~ 0.5
Door movement: -1 ~ -0.5 and 0.5 ~ 1
For example:
clamp01(abs(smooth(- LG, 0.25)) - 0.5)
and then set door close at 1 and open at 0.
The input would start at 1 (door close), go to 0 (door open, landing gear start moving), and then go to 1 again (landing gear stored, door close)
The reason why this is better than sine function is that sine function still moves, while absolute plus clamp can make sure your door stay 100% open.
@asteroidbook345 Smooth function.
First, set a smooth function to make a "smooth" landing gear function.
"smooth(- LandingGear, 0.25)" would go from -1 to 1 smoothly in 8 seconds.
Then you set the landing gear arms to move when this function goes from -1 to 0, and gear doors to move when 0 to 1.
So when you retract the gear, it would retract the arms first, then close the door.
When you extend the gear, it would open the door first, then extend the arm.
