RAZBAM: T-2 Buckeye

Hey all, here's a new video showing some of the gradual modeling improvements. I annotated it a bit to show what I'm trying to do to make sure it matches approach instructions (and feels right while doing so).

 

Also, this is the initial version of the new cockpit integrated. Much better field of view with the Mk5 gunsight system out of the way on the dashboard!

 

Again, please keep in mind this is still VERY MUCH a work in progress and everything is subject to change as usual. I have about 3 full pages of bulleted items to continue to work on so we aren't out of the woods yet.

Hey guys, long time no update!

 

I've been really wrapped up in my day job, but knew I needed to give you guys an update on what's going on:

 

Flying Qualities/Dynamics/Performance:

I feel pretty good with the flying qualities, I'll try to generate some performance/data charts as some comparisons. In general the aircraft operates in the appropriate envelopes and it's fun to see the same behavior of the aircraft as seen in youtube videos, but the proof is in the numbers so I'll try to get that out to you guys soon.

 

Engine and Fuel Systems:

In general, steady state performance is golden, it's using a really cool physics based model based off NASA/DOD real time simulation block diagrams for similar engines of that generation then modified for the specific J85 we are going for. Again, I'd like to show some neat data charts for engine performance comparison.

 

For engine dynamics, it also models a very convincing fuel governor, which I consider the most important part of the engine model since it uses various cams, valves, etc.. to control the fuel going into the engine based off a few parameters.

 

For engine startup/shutdown, I'm still working on getting it right. It'd be easier if this were a parametric model, but it's physics based so it's tough to get the right dynamic behavior, will keep you guys updated on the progress.

 

That's all for now!

bueno, la cosa sigue avanzando... a ver cuándo llega a puerto! :plas: :plas:

Un pequeño update

A quick update guys. Work has been slow going as many features and functionality are taking a ton of time to learn how to integrate with the SDK. Pretty much all the systems are modeled but I am unable to perform final integration and am also awaiting the final revisions of the cockpit and external models.

 

In the mean time, I have been working on the flight models for our other projects so stay tuned.

T-2 Update

Hey all, since the T-2 updates have slowed a bit, I figured that would justify more detailed updates within their own separate thread to keep updates more organized. so here goes...

 

I'm just the flight model and system coder so no new eye candy, unfortunately all my stuff is under the hood.

 

1. Now that we have branched into multiple projects at a time, I am reworking the entire code structure to be even more modular than before. I did a little bit of this before but I'm breaking everything up even further so that common code elements can be dropped in across airframe models relatively easily. This is taking a bit of time but hopefully will save time in the long run

 

2. Matured some of the systems models to include engine, hydraulics, and landing gear. The code structure has been developed for the electrical system and I hope to try integrating some of the example radio code to try that out as well. I also hope to improve the weapons coding a bit. I'm also making small tweaks and improvements as I learn more about the SDK.

 

3. The flight model is pretty solidified. Once I get the engine model a little better I can start doing performance comparisons to the spec. I've done very minor spot tests and they look really good.

 

I know many of you were under the assumption that because other projects were being worked on, that the T-2 is completely dropped but that is not the case at all!

 

Back to work
