Happy birthday Paul.
That is a nice surprise...

Thanks for the birthday greetings Funk and Christian.

Being a hobby, I build what I want when I want, so there are others tucked away that have not been worked on in years, and others that are being worked on and off
when I feel the need.

The TriStar was going to be kept under wraps and announced when it was completed, but since today is my birthday, and the TriStar is my favourite aircraft, I made the decision yesterday
to preview it.
I'm actively working on it until the main model (the most detailed LOD) is complete. Then I'm texture converting for the DC-8-61 whilst is being tested (still need more help for that, apply here!)

The 500 should be fun as well along with the freighters.

So keep watching this space

Paul

Hi All.

Once I have finished the tedious and frustrating animations, I'll post some more previews.

Now does anyone out there have any FS9 XML code for tilting bogies on AI aircraft??
The bogies have been built to tilt, but I just need the code to make it work.

Thanks.

Paul

Thanks Funk.

Just what I needed.
I thought I had seen something at FFDS, but assumed it was XML.
The FFDS forum does not like me now, so can't log in, and the search does not work, so thanks for pointing me on the easy way to do the tiling bogies.
I already have the compressed gear so adding this was not to difficult.

Just proved the theory on the left hand gear.

Thanks again for this info.

Put the tilting bogies to one side to revisit later. The small amount of angle I want to add caused makeMDL to fail to compile. Big angles work, small angles cause the compile to fail. Bummer Paul

hello Paul,

thanks for your amazing work.

the L1011 is also my favorite aircraft. my first plane ride was an Eastern Tristar

one point though, i dont think the Tristar's main bogeys tilted

see this photo:

Hi David.

Not as much as in the try out picture.
If you find a landing shot when the wheels have just touched down, you will see the tilt.
I'm using the books Airliner Tech Vol 8, and Airlife's Airlines Vol 2 along with several other picture books for reference, along with some hard to get drawings.
A good photo, that is not difficult to find is of ship 1 tail dragging during testing, and you will the tilt on the bogies.
This is what I was trying to replicate, but for some reason it will not let me use a small amount of rotation. Large no problem, small = compile failure.

Still, when I do a 747, I know how to do the bogies
