parachute delay

233k RamboJutter  3.9 years ago

Why isn't there an option to put a delay on a parachute opening?

I was trying to sequence an ejection like the real martin baker seats, so there is an initial parachute opening to slow pilot almost straight after the seat has ejected and seat then the seat detaches (detacher has delay option, no problem) then the second chute opens for the pilot (cant do as no delay on chute, would have to be manual operation...)

    It can be done with FT but it would be a little hard

    well yes but i want to do non-funky trees lol
    (and in that case, impossible with current stock non-FT stuff)

    @X4JB I did thanks to edensk and it works, if I try anything it just freezes the rotator.... but then again I wouldn't normally put a capital letter in the middle of a command either (ignitionDelay for example) so maybe I'm just not cut out for the computing/maths bit ;)

    @edensk thanks, i will play with that, you definately need to do that useful commands list with a little desciprtion as to what does what, I find the other guides out there overly complex =)

    @WolfSpark now if only i knew how to code funky trees... or even knew you could do this with them in the first place =) Even the codes for BIDMAS that snowflake quotes are diffeerent to when i went to school lol.

    Some ones needs to make a sub assemble with all the different times .1-5 seconds or something

    You can make it delay with FT ya know...
    I do it with every function. Wether it be under an airspeed, etc etc.

    @edensk you should make a forum listing your useful FT

    floor(smooth(Activate1,1/x))
    x is the delay, change Activate1 for whatever AG it is, put the input in the activation group field

    You can still use FT formulas used to delay the landing gears for example. I did that and my whole ejection sequence is activated only by AG7.
