Aircraft defination

[Plane]

This is the first time for me to make a aircraft, I nearly finished the 3D model and next comes the config. So can any one gives some ideas about defining a aircraft? Like animations, lights, cockpit panel, and speed, climb rate, turn rate...

That's a long time wait Why there's no one can help me about this?!

Why can't you just look in the game config for an example.....the A10 possibly.

Configing is probably the most frustrating aspect of addon creation.  Planck is right, look at the commented configs, then de-pbo some other plane addons and look at their config.  If you run across a problem you can't solve, post it here and we (Planck ;D) will try to help.  Planck is a genius with this stuff.  I'll try to help when I can...and if I manage to post before he does.

Right now your question is quite broad and covers many aspects of configing, which makes it a bit hard to answer.

Oh, thanks guys! ;D
I'll take a look at it.

Well, here is the unsolved problems.
What is the following mean, I want my aircraft can do a fast climb and turn.

Code: [Select]

aileronSensitivity = 1;
elevatorSensitivity = 1;
steerAheadSimul=1.0;
steerAheadPlan=2.0;

[Pilot]

aileronSensitivity defines how fast the airplane rolls.  This is not how fast the airplane turns, but only how fast it rolls into the turn.

elevatorSensitivity defines how fast the airplane pitches up.

I am not too sure what the two bottom numbers do, although I always had the impression they had to do with how the AI turns the plane on the ground.  I could very well be wrong, so take that with a grain of salt.
