Military AI Works

Hi guys,

JUst wondered if anyone knows how to change how sharp an aircraft will turn whilst taxiing. At the minute it need a mile to turn. I believe you can change it in the cfg but I don't know where

any help appreciated

Thanks in advance
Dale

Nose wheel steering degrees in the aircraft CFG maybe??

No there isn't a section called that

In the aircraft.cfg file, look for the contact points section of the model you are dealing with.

The 8th entry over is the steer angle in degrees, try changing that one.

This is the contact points section from the default C-172:

//0 Class
//1 Longitudinal Position (feet)
//2 Lateral Position (feet)
//3 Vertical Position (feet)
//4 Impact Damage Threshold (Feet Per Minute)
//5 Brake Map (0=None, 1=Left, 2=Right)
//6 Wheel Radius (feet)
//7 Steer Angle (degrees)
//8 Static Compression (feet) (0 if rigid)
//9 Max/Static Compression Ratio
//10 Damping Ratio (0=Undamped, 1=Critically Damped)
//11 Extension Time (seconds)
//12 Retraction Time (seconds)
//13 Sound Type
[contact_points]

The Red "22" is the steering angle for the nose wheel for this model.

Are you talking AI or UI here?

Is that for the nose wheel? as Iwant todo it for a tail dragger so would that be point three?

Not sure, if you have one of the default taildraggers, check their contact points section to see how they did it.

Will check first thing tomorrow

yay it has worked.

Thanks Mike

Maybe someone could give us the correct numbers for Henry Tomkiewicz F-16's.
They're making big turnes.

Thanxs.

It's all trial and error.
