Inspired and developed from the crash system in the MiG-15 by Slavutinsky Victor, this system is meant to become generic and usable for all aircraft by adding just a few lines. For now you have to add a file with code though.

Features so far

  • Impact, crash and explosion detection.
  • Tied into the new 3.5+ failure manager.
  • Over-G detection for wing stress.
  • Sounds.

Planned features

Feel free to suggest some in the forum topic linked to at the end of this article.

Background

The crash system in the Mig15 also have detection of flying into trees and buildings. That detection is based on random calculation of the chance of hitting something, meaning it will hit trees or building that is not seen in the 3D rendered landscape. I decided that could be confusing for many users, and also it had a big performance hit, therefore that is not a feature present in this system.

How to install the current system on an aircraft

Copy this code into your aircraft's Nasal folder as crash-and-stress.nas file:

# TODO:
#
# Loss of inertia if impacting/sliding? Or should the jsb groundcontacts take care of that alone?
# If gears hit something at too high speed the gears should be damaged?
# Make property to control if system active, or method enough?
# Explosion depending on bumpiness and speed when sliding?
# Tie in with damage from Bombable?
# Use galvedro's UpdateLoop framework when it gets merged


# example uses:
#
# var crashCode = CrashAndStress.new([0,1,2]); 
#
# var crashCode = CrashAndStress.new([0,1,2], {"weightLbs":30000, "maxG": 12});
#
# var crashCode = CrashAndStress.new([0,1,2,3], {"weightLbs":20000, "maxG": 11, "minG": -5});
#
# var crashCode = CrashAndStress.new([0,1,2], {"wingloadMaxLbs": 90000, "wingloadMinLbs": -45000}, ["controls/flight/aileron", "controls/flight/elevator", "controls/flight/flaps"]);

# var crashCode = CrashAndStress.new([0,1,2], {"wingloadMaxLbs":90000}, ["controls/flight/aileron", "controls/flight/elevator", "controls/flight/flaps"]);
#
# Gears parameter must be defined.
# Stress parameter is optional. If minimum wing stress is not defined it will be set to -40% of max wingload stress if that is defined.
# The last optional parameter is a list of failure mode IDs that shall fail when wings detach. They must be defined in the FailureMgr.
#
#
# Remember to add sounds and to add the sound properties as custom signals to the replay recorder.


# example use:
var crashCode = nil;
var crash_start = func {
	removelistener(lsnr);
	crashCode = CrashAndStress.new([0,1,2], {"weightLbs":30000, "maxG": 12}, ["controls/flight/aileron", "controls/flight/elevator"]);
	crashCode.start();
}

var lsnr = setlistener("sim/signals/fdm-initialized", crash_start);

# test:
var repair = func {
	crashCode.repair();
};

Notice that you should edit the line underneath # example use to fit your aircraft requirements.

In your aircraft-set.xml file under nasal tags add

<crash>
  <file>Aircraft/[aircraft name here]/Nasal/crash-and-stress.nas</file>
</crash>

Add this to your sounds file, remember to replace JA37, with your aircraft folder name:

Add some sounds to the aircraft sound folder that corresponds to the file names used in the above. (you can eventually use those in the Mig15 or JA-37 folders, depending what kind of sounds you prefer.)

Optionally add these signals to the replay recorder:

        <signal>
          <type>bool</type>
          <property type="string">damage/sounds/explode-on</property>
        </signal>
        <signal>
          <type>bool</type>
          <property type="string">damage/sounds/crash-on</property>
        </signal>
        <signal>
          <type>bool</type>
          <property type="string">damage/sounds/water-crash-on</property>
        </signal>
        <signal>
          <type>bool</type>
          <property type="string">damage/sounds/crack-on</property>
        </signal>
        <signal>
          <type>bool</type>
          <property type="string">damage/sounds/creaking-on</property>
        </signal>
        <signal>
          <type>float</type>
          <property type="string">damage/sounds/crack-volume</property>
        </signal>
        <signal>
          <type>float</type>
          <property type="string">damage/sounds/creaking-volume</property>
        </signal>
        <signal>
          <type>bool</type>
          <property type="string">fdm/jsbsim/structural/wings/serviceable</property>
        </signal>

Notice that the last signal is JSBSim specific, the corresponding YASim signal is:

        <signal>
          <type>bool</type>
          <property type="string">structural/wings/serviceable</property>
        </signal>

That property is also what you would use to animate wings being detached and/or changes in the aerodynamics.

Performance

As it is now you should feel no performance degradation at all from using it.
