Howto:Animated jetways (Type 1)

2015-09-14T17:28:25Z

Skyop: Remove obsolete and confusing content.

'''Animated jetways''' are dynamic {{Wikipedia|jetway|noicon=1}} models that connect to your aircraft when you are pulled up at a gate. [[FlightGear]] boasts the most advanced animated jetways in the flight simulator market, beating those of Microsoft Flight Simulator and X-plane in features — a testament to the flexibility of FlightGear. This article describes how to obtain and use the jetways and interface them with aircraft and scenery.

== Current state (09/2015) ==
=== Issues ===
Jetways that are defined in <code>Airports/K/S/F/KSFO.jetways.xml</code> using {{repo link|site=s|proj=flightgear/fgdata|type=git|path=Models/Airport/Jetway/generic.xml|text=Models/Airport/Jetway/generic.xml}} do not work.

== Obtaining and installing ==

Versions of FlightGear later than June 17, 2011 (so 2.4.0 and onwards) include the animated jetway system. Nothing extra has to be installed.

== Using the jetways ==

Start FlightGear in any animated jetway-compatible aircraft. Currently, these include the following:
* [[Boeing 717]] (separate download) (support available in Git)
* [[Boeing 777-200ER]] (separate download)
* [[Bombardier CRJ700]]

Fly (or spawn) to any airport equipped with animated jetways. Ensure you have the latest scenery from [[TerraSync]], so you don't get conflicts between animated and static jetways! At the moment, the following airports are animated jetway-compatible:
* [[London Gatwick Airport]] (EGKK)*
* [[Amsterdam Airport Schiphol]] (EHAM)
* Denver International Airport (KDEN)*
* Las Vegas McCarran International Airport (KLAS)*
* [[San Francisco International Airport]] (KSFO)
* Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (PANC)*
''<nowiki>*</nowiki> - Indicates the jetways for this airport were auto-converted and do not have gate numbers''

You can tell if a jetway is animated by pressing Ctrl-C. If the polygons are highlighted in yellow, then it's animated.

Taxi up to an animated jetway and park near it. Click it, and if your aircraft is supported and parked well enough, the jetway will extend, rotate, and connect.

== Adding support in aircraft ==

Open up your aircraft's main model in your favorite 3d modeling software (the author prefers [[Blender]]). Move the model around to account for any offsets you have in the main model file. Then get the coordinates of the door.

[[File:Animated-jetway-tutorial.jpg]]

Now add the following code in your aircraft's -set.xml (remember to merge the tags properly):

<syntaxhighlight language="xml">
<sim>
<model>
<door>
<position-x-m type="float">X-M</position-x-m>
<position-y-m type="float">Y-M</position-y-m>
<position-z-m type="float">Z-M</position-z-m>
<jetway-hood-deg type="float">HOOD-DEG</jetway-hood-deg>
</door>
</model>
</sim>
</syntaxhighlight>

Where '''X-M''', '''Y-M''', and '''Z-M''' are the X/Y/Z coordinates of the door in meters and '''HOOD-DEG''' is the jetway hood rotation amount. To specify more doors, just add more door elements.

Finally, add the following code into your XML model file. It enables the jetways to connect to your aircraft over the [[multiplayer]] network.

<nasal>
<load>
var model = cmdarg();
model.getNode("door[0]/position-x-m", 1).setValue(X-M);
model.getNode("door[0]/position-y-m", 1).setValue(Y-M);
model.getNode("door[0]/position-z-m", 1).setValue(Z-M);
model.getNode("door[0]/jetway-hood-deg", 1).setValue(HOOD-DEG);
</load>
</nasal>

Again, replace '''X-M''', '''Y-M''', '''Z-M''', and '''HOOD-DEG''' with their respective values. To add more doors, duplicate the last 4 lines of [[Nasal]] code and replace <tt>[0]</tt> with <tt>[1]</tt> or <tt>[2]</tt>.

=== Adding support in AI aircraft ===

Follow the steps for regular aircraft above, but only add in the Nasal code.

== Adding support in scenery ==

=== Placing jetways ===

Launch FlightGear in your favorite aircraft. The author uses the [[Bluebird]]. You ''cannot'' use the [[UFO]] because its scenery-editing function will interfere with the jetway editor. Go to AI > Jetway Settings and tick the "Enable jetway editor" checkbox. Then click the "Open Editor" button.

[[File:Animated-jetway-editor.jpg]]

With the editor enabled, click anywhere on the ground to place an animated jetway, which will flash to indicate it is selected. The jetway editor is similar to the UFO's scenery model editor. You can Alt-click on the terrain to move the current selected jetway. Ctrl-click selects the jetway closest to the click position (the new jetway will flash to indicate it's selected). Shift-click deselects the current jetway.

The dialog is used to adjust the selected jetway. The top sliders adjust position and orientation, and the bottom ones adjust the jetway itself. The offsets that the bottom sliders control can be used to model jetways that are in obscure configurations. The drop-down menus at the very bottom of the dialog control various properties of the jetway, such as the model, gate number, airline sign, and door number. At the moment, the following models are available:

* Generic
* Glass
* [[EHAM]] gate
* [[EHAM]] 747 gate

When you are finished editing your airport jetway layout, click the "Export" button. A jetway definition file will be created and written to <tt>$FG_HOME/Export/ICAO.xml</tt>, where <tt>ICAO</tt> is the ICAO code of the nearest airport. (The exact location of this file is printed to the console window.) This file should be submitted to Terrasync (see [[FlightGear Scenery Database#Contribute]]).

Versions of FlightGear later than June 17, 2011 (so 2.4.0 and onwards) include the animated jetway system. Nothing extra has to be installed.

Downloads for other versions of FlightGear, including updated files implementing the system for some aircraft, can be found on the first post of [http://flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8728 this thread] on the FlightGear Forums. Read the included README for installation instructions. '''Note that FG 2.0.0 users will NOT be able to get support for new airports added through Terrasync.'''

You can tell if a jetway is animated by pressing Ctrl-C. If the polygons are highlighted in yellow, then it's animated. Also look for a yellow line on the pavement. If it's there, that means it's an obsolete animated jetway that will hopefully be replaced by the developer of the airport at some future point. Otherwise, it's a newer jetway.

Taxi up to an animated jetway and park near it. Click it, and if your aircraft is supported and parked well enough, the jetway will extend, rotate, and connect.

== Adding support in aircraft ==

Open up your aircraft's main model in your favorite 3d modeling software (the author prefers [[Blender]]). Move the model around to account for any offsets you have in the main model file. Then get the coordinates of the door.

</load>
</nasal>

Again, replace '''X-M''', '''Y-M''', '''Z-M''', and '''HOOD-DEG''' with their respective values. To add more doors, duplicate the last 4 lines of [[Nasal]] code and replace <tt>[0]</tt> with <tt>[1]</tt> or <tt>[2]</tt>.

The '''McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30''' is a long-range trijet commercial airliner. [[FlightGear]]'s DC-10-30 is a realistic and relatively complete [[aircraft]]. Highlights include fully functional lights for [[Project Rembrandt|Rembrandt rendering]], complete flight controls with proper spoiler and [[autobrake]] simulation, and a very accurately-modelled [[autopilot]]. At first glance, the DC-10 may seem like any other airliner you may have flown in FlightGear. Actually, it is an obscure, challenging aircraft with a steep learning curve, especially for inexperienced pilots. Nonetheless, learning to fly this unique airliner is a truly rewarding experience.

==Variants==
* '''DC-10-30''' - the basic intercontinental model
* '''DC-10-30ER''' - later model with extra fuel tanks for extended range
* '''DC-10-30CF''' - convertible freighter model with functional cargo door and configuration switching
* '''KC-10A''' - military tanker model with working [[Howto:Aerial_refueling|air-to-air refueling]]

==Quick checklists==
===Takeoff===
# Set [[Control Surfaces#Elevators|elevator trim]] for takeoff (move the trim within the ''green zone'' on the throttle quadrant)
# Set [[flaps]] for 15 or 22 degrees
# Turn on appropriate aircraft lights
===Landing===
# Set flaps for 35 or 50 degrees
# Arm the [[auto-spoilers|ground spoilers]] by moving the speedbrake/spoiler lever beyond the speedbrake detent: '''[k]'''
# Arm the [[autobrake|automatic brake system (ABS)]] by selecting MIN or MED (or MAX, in case of emergency) '''[TAB]'''

==General tutorial==
This tutorial shows you how to make a typical flight in the DC-10 using the autopilot, automatic braking, and autoland systems. It is fairly in-depth, and ''meant to be read from start to end.''

===Getting started===
To start the aircraft, use the "Autostart" item in the aircraft-specific menu. The DC-10 has incomplete system simulations and this is currently the only way to start up.
===Preparing for takeoff===
The first thing you should do is make sure the aircraft's doors are closed. :-) To open and close doors, open the "Doors" dialog in the aircraft menu. Then use the "Lights" dialog (in the same menu) to turn on the appropriate lights. At the very least, you should turn on the landing lights.

Now we need to prepare the flight surfaces for takeoff. First, deploy the flaps to 15 or 22 degrees, depending on the takeoff weight and runway length. Second, we need to set the elevator trim for takeoff. This will make it easier to rotate the plane during the takeoff roll. The takeoff trim zone is helpfully marked in green on the throttle quadrant:

[[File:DC10 throttle.jpg|600px]]

Just use the '''HOME/END''' keys or your '''joystick''' to set the elevator trim within the zone.

====Introduction to George, your virtual copilot...====
Before we get into the air <strike>and put our passengers in danger</strike>, let's take a moment to meet ''George'', the DC-10's autopilot system. The most intuitive way to control the autopilot is to use the Mode Control Panel, located in the top-center of the instrument panel. The DC-10, of course, also gives you the option to use a custom autopilot dialog. However, it is less intuitive to use than the panel, and will not be covered here. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the layout:

[[File:DC10 mcp.jpg|600px]]

Our only concern is the three sections in the middle. Left-to-right, they control '''speed''', '''heading''', and '''pitch'''.

All controls on the autopilot panel operate consistently and predictably. Read on to learn how they work:
=====Knobs=====
* To '''pull''' any knob, '''middle-click''' it.
* To '''push''' any knob, '''left-click''' it.
* To '''rotate''' any knob, use the '''scroll wheel''' on it.
=====Buttons=====
* '''Push''' buttons by '''left-clicking''' them.
* Unlike other aircraft, buttons on the DC-10 become depressed while you hold down the mouse button to reinforce the idea that you are actually pushing them.
=====Levers=====
* Levers are the short, fat controls that move along black "tracks."
* The levers for the autothrottle system (labeled "ATS") are toggled using '''left-clicks'''. This is because they only have two settings: on and off.
* The levers for the autopilot system (labeled "AP") move '''up''' with '''left-clicks''' and move '''down''' with '''middle-clicks'''. This is because they have three possible settings.

Mess around with the panel now, getting a feel for the controls. You'll notice white messages appearing on-screen that announce what changes you have made. They help new pilots get familiar with the autopilot. If you happen to find them annoying later on, you can turn the messages off in the autopilot dialog ('''F11''').

===Taking off===
Now, let's actually put George to work! He can't actually get the plane off the ground for us. But while we're still on the ground, we'll input our settings.

====Setting speed====
First, we'll set our desired speed. '''The first thing to realize about the DC-10's autopilot is that the "autothrottle" (the part of the AP that works the throttles) is a completely separate system from the "autopilot" (the part of the AP that controls the ailerons and elevators).''' You can have the autopilot on and the autothrottles off, and vise-versa. This might seem a bit odd compared to certain other airliners you may have flown in FlightGear. This is because, quite frankly, they are modelled ''wrong''. ;-)

We'll set the autothrottle to maintain 250 knots for our climbout. We do this using the speed knob. The speed knob is located in the "ATS" section of the panel; it has an orange triangle on its face. You can adjust the speed setting by '''scrolling''' on this knob. Scroll up until you have selected 250 knots- but wait! If you '''push''' the knob in (that means left-click and hold, remember?) and then '''scroll''' at the same time, the knob adjusts in increments of 10 knots instead of 1. Use this handy trick to make quick adjustments to your speed setting.

Finally, '''pull''' the knob to select the autothrottle's IAS hold mode. (Remember, you pull knobs by '''middle-clicking''' them.)

====Setting heading====
Next, let's tell George which way to turn. The DC-10 ''autopilot'' has several heading modes:
* Magnetic heading hold
* Current heading hold
* Inertial navigation system (INS)*
* VOR-LOC track
* ILS glideslope track (heading only!)

* - The Inertial Navigation System is currently not implemented. Instead, selecting this mode will cause the DC-10's autopilot to follow the route entered in the Route Manager.

All of these modes are fairly self-explanatory. Their usage is explained below.

The heading controls are labelled "HDG" on the panel. Remember, there are actually ''two'' heading knobs; a black one in front and a grey one in the back.

'''To set the ''maximum bank angle'' for the autopilot:'''
# '''Left-click''' the grey heading knob to decrease the bank angle.
# '''Middle-click''' the grey heading knob to increase the bank angle.
# The current bank angle is indicated by the white arrow.

'''To fly by magnetic heading:'''
# '''Rotate''' (scroll) the black heading knob to select the desired heading. (You cannot push the knob to adjust faster, unlike the speed selection knob.)
# '''Pull''' (middle-click) the black knob to select magnetic heading hold mode.

'''To hold the current heading:'''
# '''Push''' (left-click) the black heading knob.
# The autopilot will then maintain the current magnetic heading. (This is basically a "smarter" wing leveller.)

'''To use the <strike>Inertial Navigation System (INS)</strike> Route Manager:'''
# '''Push''' the '''INS''' button.

'''To track a VOR station:'''
# Tune the VOR station on the NAV1 frequency.
# Set the desired course on the NAV1 radial.
# '''Push''' the '''VOR-LOC''' button.

'''To track an ILS glideslope (heading only!):'''
# Tune the ILS station on the NAV1 frequency.
# '''Push''' the '''ILS''' button.

Selecting ILS mode only tells the autopilot to fly the glideslope's heading. To follow it down to the runway, you need to set the pitch mode to LAND.

====Setting pitch====
The DC-10 ''autopilot'' has several pitch modes:
* Vertical speed hold
* Altitude ''capture'' mode
* Speed-with-pitch mode (IAS)
* Speed-with-pitch mode (Mach)
* Autoland mode

# '''Left-click''' the grey heading knob to decrease the bank angle.
# '''Middle-click''' the grey heading knob to increase the bank angle.
# The current bank angle is indicated by the white arrow.

'''To fly by magnetic heading:'''
# '''Rotate''' (scroll) the black heading knob to select the desired heading. (You cannot push the knob to adjust faster, unlike the speed selection knob.)
# '''Pull''' (middle-click) the black knob to select magnetic heading hold mode.

'''To hold the current heading:'''
# '''Push''' (left-click) the black heading knob.
# The autopilot will then maintain the current magnetic heading. (This is basically a "smarter" wing leveller.)

'''To use the <strike>Inertial Navigation System (INS)</strike> Route Manager:'''
# '''Push''' the '''INS''' button.

'''To track a VOR station:'''
# Tune the VOR station on the NAV1 frequency.
# Set the desired course on the NAV1 radial.
# '''Push''' the '''VOR-LOC''' button.

'''To track an ILS glideslope (heading only!):'''
# Tune the ILS station on the NAV1 frequency.
# '''Push''' the '''ILS''' button.

Selecting ILS mode only tells the autopilot to fly the glideslope's heading. To follow it down to the runway, you need to set the pitch mode to LAND.

====Setting pitch====
The DC-10 ''autopilot'' has several pitch modes:
* Vertical speed hold
* Altitude ''capture'' mode
* Speed-with-pitch mode (IAS)
* Speed-with-pitch mode (Mach)
* Autoland mode

=Aircraft of the Week/Month=

The CRJ700 was reviewed by Thorsten R as part of the "Aircraft of the Week/Month" feature on the FlightGear Forums.

====Model====

The 3d cockpit of the CRJ-700 is very detailed and contains not only functionality on the main panel but also on the central console and an overhead panel. However, as often seen, the cockpit surfaces not covered by instrumentation are very simply textured by a monochromatic grey color - a more natural texture resembling a real material with some wear and tear could add a lot here.

[http://www.phy.duke.edu/~trenk/pics/crj700-cockpit.jpg View image]

There is a lot of functionality in the cockpit - a startup procedure using the APU is supported as well as a full set of external lights and no-smoking and seat belt signs for the passengers. A nice touch of the model is that it also contains an interior view of the cabin in which the signs can be observed. Switches and knobs are usually animated, and the clickspots are placed fairly intuitively. The MFD's all have various selectable functions.

The exterior model of the aircraft is also very nicely done, contains good animations and shows all the light switch settings in the cockpit faithfully. An option to switch livery exists as well.

[http://www.phy.duke.edu/~trenk/pics/crj700-model.jpg View image]

====Flight characteristics====

The FDM of the CRJ-700 is quite plausible for an airliner of its size. I haven't really tested the behaviour at the edge of the performance envelope, but during normal operations, the plane behaves well and reaches basic performance characteristics. All in all, the plane is an airliner (albeit a small one) - it turns slowly, it does not descent rapidly without picking up a lot of excess speed and all maneuvers need to be planned well in advance. Having said that, it's actually fun to fly.

I found the AP nicely tuned and able to fly turns, climb or dive at all altitudes without oscillations or weird behaviour. Unfortunately, the support for AP modes involving navaids is not as good: While I could home in on a VOR station, the AP seems to be tracking the station rather than the chosen radial, i.e. the angle under which I approached the station kept changing. Also, I was unable to intercept an ILS glideslope automatically. However, the plane can be operated well in IFR conditions just using the instruments to display the navaid signals and the heading and altitude modes of the AP to control the plane.

====My personal wishlist====

Fixing the AP to a more consistent behaviour with navaids would be high on my priority list - there are currently very few airliners with a well-tuned AP capable of tracking navaids. Some more natural texturing in the cockpit would also be nice. I realize that the CRJ-700 is a fairly recent addition to the aircraft repository of Flightgear - but I like where the model is going very much.

====Things to experience====

Try flying at night - the CRJ-700 has one of the best light concepts I've ever seen. The instrument lights are very beautifully done and can be dimmed at need, the cabin lights likewise, and all lighting is visible both from internal and external views.

''Editor's note: The autopilot VOR-LOC/ILS holds have been fixed as of CRJ700 v1.0.2.''

Howto:Aerial refueling

2013-06-15T19:31:34Z

Skyop: /* What is possible */ Add KC-10A

[[File:Airrefuelingready.png]]

'''Aerial refueling''', also called '''air refueling''', '''in-flight refueling''' ('''IFR'''), '''air-to-air refueling''' ('''AAR''') or '''tanking''', is the process of transferring fuel from one [[aircraft]] (the tanker) to another (the receiver) during flight.

== What is possible ==
[[File:F-8E_refueling_behind_KA-6.jpg|thumb|270px|A F-8E receiving fuel from a hose-equipped KA-6.]]
At present, there are three tanker [[aircraft]] and several receiving aircraft capable of in-air refuelling:

{| class="prettytable" border="1px" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"
! style="background:#efefef" |Aircraft
! style="background:#efefef" |Can be refueled by
|-
|[[Douglas A4 Skyhawk]]
|rowspan="5"|[[Grumman KA-6]]
|-
|[[English Electric Lightning]]
|-
|[[F-8 Crusader]]
|-
|[[Grumman A-6E]]
|-
|[[Grumman F-14 Tomcat]]
|-
|[[Fairchild A-10]]
|rowspan="4"|[[Boeing KC-135E]]
[[McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30|McDonnell Douglas KC-10A]]
|-
|[[F-117 Nighthawk]]
|-
|[[General Dynamics F-16]]
|-
|[[Northrop T-38]]
|}

When flying one of these aircraft in the default scenery area, one can locate the tanker aircraft using air-air [[TACAN]] and/or radar and then receive a full or partial load of fuel by flying in close formation behind the tanker. Refuelling is also possible between aircraft in a [[Howto: Multiplayer|multiplayer]] session. It is not possible to control the boom/hose position yet; they are always operatable when the tankers are air-born.

Implementing aerial refueling capability to other aircraft is pretty straight forward, as explained in [[Howto: Implement aerial refueling capability|this article]]. It does not require much coding-skills and can be done by the average FlightGear user.

== Receiving fuel ==
=== Necessary preparations ===
==== Request a tanker at current position ====

[[File:Tanker.jpg|thumb|270px|The tanker control dialog in FG 2.11]]

As of FlightGear 2.4.0 you can request a tanker close to your current position, via the in-sim <tt>AI > Tanker Controls</tt> dialog.

As of FlightGear 2.11 the tanker AI dialog has been much expanded. It is now possible to select from different tanker types, set the airspeed of the tanker and most importantly set the contact radius which determines how close one neeeds to approach the contact point in order to receive fuel. This allows to set the level of realism, for beginners a wide radius is recommended, whereas for a realistic simulation just few meters are appropriate.

==== Scenarios ====
Like the [[aircraft carrier]]s, AAR is implemented as an AI scenario. Selecting these requires an extra command in the commandline (eg. <tt>--ai-scenario=refueling_demo_1</tt>, check <tt>[[$FG ROOT]]/AI/</tt> to see what scenarios are available), or selecting the corresponding scenario from the [[FlightGear Launch Control|launcher/FGRun]].

The A4F, Lightning or T38 are special cases, as they should automatically load a scenario containing a tanker (without the need for extra commands).

Make sure that "AI models" are enabled and start at [[San Francisco International Airport]] (KSFO, the default airport). Depending on the scenario, you might see the tanker crossing overhead when the sim starts; if not, don't worry.

=== In the cockpit ===
Perhaps the first thing to do after starting the engines, if necessary, is to select the appropriate TACAN channel if your aircraft is so equipped (the A4F and Lightning both are). Enter the channel using the relevant dropdown boxes in the radios dialogue (<tt>Equipment > Radio Settings</tt> or press {{Key press|F12}}). Note that you should pick the channel of the tanker-type that you aircraft can receive from ([[#What is possible|see the table above]]).

{| class="prettytable" border="1px" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"
! style="background:#efefef" |Tanker
! style="background:#efefef" |TACAN
|-
|KA6
|050X
|-
|KC-135
|040X
|}

You should now see the current bearing to the tanker indicated in the nav display of the A4 or the TACAN indicator (green needle) in the Lightning. If the tanker is within range, it will also appear on the radar display of the T38 or Lightning.

Now, take off.

=== In the air ===
==== General procedure ====
Turn to an appropriate heading, guided by the TACAN bearing (you should try a "leading" approach to close in on the tanker) and look for the tanker on the radar or nav screen. Around 5nm away, you should reduce your speed to around 20kts faster than the tanker (these fly at 280 kts [[TAS]]). The KC-135 will be visible from about 10nm, the KA6-D, being smaller, just over 1 nm. Use airbrakes to keep control of your speed should you find yourself overshooting.

[[File:KC-135E.jpg|thumb|270px|The KC-135E aircraft with the boom.]]
Close to within 50ft of the tanker (do not get too close, or visual artifacts might hide the boom from view). You should see indication in the cockpit that you are receiving fuel (there is a green light in the A4 fuel gauge, as well as a green light on the right side of the T-38's panel), and you should see the indicated tank load increase.

Getting to this stage is not necessarily easy - it can take a lot of practice. As with carrier landings, this is not an easy manoeuver in real life either and there are additional complications in the sim. The tanker, being an AI model, is unaffected by the wind and flies [[TAS]] (True Air Speed), while you are flying [[IAS]] (Indicated Air Speed) and are affected by the environment. As in real life, your aircraft will also steadily increase in weight as the tanks fill which will affect the trim of the aircraft. You might find it helpful to use the [[Autopilot#Velocity control|autothrottle]] to help control your speed ({{key press|Ctrl|S}} then {{key press|Page up}} or {{key press|Page down}} to increase and decrease the set speed).

Once your tanks are full, or you have taken as much fuel as you wish, close the throttle a little, back away from the tanker and continue your intended flight.

==== Troubleshooting the approach ====
If you had problems approaching the tanker, then it is useful to understand just what the cause of the difficulty is, so that you know what to practice. In a nutshell, what you have to do is to fly to the right spot behind the tanker, ''in such a way that the relative velocity with the tanker is zero''. The first part, flying to the correct position, is easy - just keep the tanker centered in your visual field and fly till you are there. All the trouble is in matching the velocity. Successful aerial refueling thus requires precision control of your airspeed.

This, again, would be no problem if the throttle would directly control your airspeed - then you could just set the throttle to the airspeed you need as soon as you reach the right spot. However, the throttle controls thrust, and airspeed results from an equilibrium between thrust and drag which takes some time to reach. Let's assume you have reached the right spot behind the tanker with the correct airspeed, but with insufficient thrust, and see what happens: Since the drag force is now larger than the thrust, the plane starts to settle into a new equilibrium and the airspeed will slowly drop. A few seconds pass before the airspeed gauge reflects this, as gauges usually do not work instantaneously. Thus, but the time you notice the chance in airspeed from the gauge, the plane is already slower than the gauge indicates. Assume you try to correct you increasing thrust a bit. It takes a few moments before the turbine spins up to the new RPM setting (like gauges, they don't react instantaneously), then more thrust is generated. From that moment on, it takes a few seconds for the plane to settle into a new equilibrium airspeed corresponding to that thrust level. By the time that is reached, some 20 seconds may have passed - and you may find yourself already far behind the tanker!

That time-lag between recognizing airspeed changes and reaction of the plane to thrust is the prime reason why Air-Air Refueling is so difficult. A second reason is that planes usually do not just get slower when you reduce thrust or apply airbrakes - the nose of the aircraft tends to drop as well and you have to compensate. The solution to all problems is that you need to anticipate the reaction of the aircraft to what you're doing and that you need to act quickly and decisively. For this, you have to know the aircraft you're flying well.

First, ''never'' fly by the airspeed gauge in close proximity to the tanker, always react to ''what you see'' - if you see the tanker fly away, you are too slow no matter what the airspeed gauge says! If you react to what you see, you gain precious seconds (and that takes care of the wind effects, i.e. the fact that the tanker flys TAS whereas you IAS as well). Second, change thrust before you see the effect. Assume in the above example, you'd give a short burst of thrust, then put the thrust lever back to a slightly higher setting than it was before. If done just right, the airspeed drop gets compensated almost immediately and the new equilibrium is reached quickly without falling far behind the tanker. Finally, use altitude to your advantage instead of fighting it. If you pull the nose up, you'll lose just a bit of airspeed, so if you approach a bit below the tanker being a bit faster than the tanker, you can pull up as soon as you reach the spot, and you will stop just fine in the correct spot.

=== Multiplayer refuelling ===
Refuelling is possible within a multiplayer session given certain conditions. A basic flyable KC135 model is available - the pilot of this aircraft should use the callsign "MOBIL1", "MOBIL2" or "MOBIL3". Other numbers are acceptable, but only these three have A-A TACAN channels assigned. These are 060X, 061X and 062X respectively.

If the receiving aircraft uses a YASim FDM, there are no further complications. Should the receiving aircraft be JSBSim based, the user must make sure that there are no AI tankers in their configuration. This means disabling (commenting out) all refuelling "scenarios" in the relevant aircraft-set.xml and in preferences.xml.

MP refuelling works in exactly the same way as AI refuelling and is a fun challenge. It is best to ensure that your network connection is as free from interruptions as possible; the MP code does a degree of prediction if there is a "blip" in the stream of packets and this can make close formation flight very difficult or even impossible.

''See also [[Chat Menu]]''

=== Selecting different scenarios ===
There are several AAR scenarios available in the AI directory. refueling_demo.xml has a KC135 circling near KSFO at 3000ft; refueling_demo_1.xml the KC135 on a North/South towline at 8000ft and refueling_demo_2.xml the KA6D on a similar N/S path but at 8500ft.

These can be selected by several methods; using the --ai-scenario [[Command Line Parameters|command line option]], or by editing preferences.xml.

==== Command line method ====
Add the --ai-scenario option to your usual FlightGear [[command line]]; eg.:
fgfs --aircraft=lightning --ai-scenario=refueling_demo_2

==== Preferences.xml method ====
Use your operating system's search facility to locate this if you don't know where it is). Open preferences.xml in a text editor (e.g. notepad if on windows) and search for the <ai> </ai> tags. Place a line like <tt><scenario>refueling_demo</scenario></tt> somewhere within the <ai> tags; you should see other scenarios already there too, perhaps commented out: i.e. with <! -- -->

== Simulation vs. reality ==
[[File:f16-air-air-refuel.jpg|thumb|270px|Approaching the tanker with a [[F-16]] - and receiving fuel already (FG 1.9.1)!]]
There are a few things which are (presumably) easier in the simulation as compared with the real world, but there are also some that are harder. First, the envelope for refueling is actually quite generous - you start getting fuel in a position where in the real world this could not possibly work (see picture). The real refueling position of the F-16 feels a lot less comfortable! It is also mercifully short - usually holding the plane in the correct spot for about 30 seconds is all you need. There is also no turbulence or other change in the airstream induced by the tanker modelled.

As of Flightgear 2.11, it is now possible to select a realistic refueling envelope, forcing the pilot to get much closer to the tanker (see picture).

[[File:Refueling pos.jpg|thumb|270px|The view from the F-16 cockpit with the plane in a realistic refueling position (FG 2.11)]]

What is on the other hand probably easier in real life is flying by eye - in reality, we usually don't have any problems accurately gauging relative motions of a few feet per second. On the screen, with finite resolution and not-exactly-real textures and shadows, a lot of visual cues are missing and gauging a small relative motion becomes difficult. Also, in real life both the tanker and the refueling plane fly in the same airstream and wind effects not being felt by the tanker AI model are not an issue.

The '''McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30''' is a long-range trijet commercial airliner. FlightGear's DC-10-30 is a realistic and relatively complete aircraft. Highlights include fully functional lights for Rembrandt rendering, complete flight controls with proper spoiler and autobrake simulation, and a very accurately-modelled autopilot. At first glance, the DC-10 may seem like any other airliner you may have flown in FlightGear. Actually, it is an obscure, challenging aircraft with a steep learning curve, especially for inexperienced pilots. Nonetheless, learning to fly this unique airliner is a truly rewarding experience.

==Variants==
* '''DC-10-30''' - the basic intercontinental model
* '''DC-10-30ER''' - later model with extra fuel tanks for extended range
* '''DC-10-30CF''' - convertible freighter model with functional cargo door and configuration switching
* '''KC-10A''' - military tanker model with working [[Howto:Aerial_refueling|air-to-air refueling]]

==Quick checklists==
===Takeoff===
# Set elevator trim for takeoff (move the trim within the ''green zone'' on the throttle quadrant)
# Set flaps for 15 or 22 degrees
# Turn on appropriate aircraft lights
===Landing===
# Set flaps for 35 or 50 degrees
# Arm the ground spoilers by moving the speedbrake/spoiler lever beyond the speedbrake detent: '''[k]'''
# Arm the automatic brake system (ABS) by selecting MIN or MED (or MAX, in case of emergency) '''[TAB]'''

==General tutorial==
This tutorial shows you how to make a typical flight in the DC-10 using the autopilot, automatic braking, and autoland systems. It is fairly in-depth, and ''meant to be read from start to end.''

===Getting started===
To start the aircraft, use the "Autostart" item in the aircraft-specific menu. The DC-10 has incomplete system simulations and this is currently the only way to start up.
===Preparing for takeoff===
The first thing you should do is make sure the aircraft's doors are closed. :-) To open and close doors, open the "Doors" dialog in the aircraft menu. Then use the "Lights" dialog (in the same menu) to turn on the appropriate lights. At the very least, you should turn on the landing lights.

Now we need to prepare the flight surfaces for takeoff. First, deploy the flaps to 15 or 22 degrees, depending on the takeoff weight and runway length. Second, we need to set the elevator trim for takeoff. This will make it easier to rotate the plane during the takeoff roll. The takeoff trim zone is helpfully marked in green on the throttle quadrant:

[[File:DC10 throttle.jpg|600px]]

Just use the '''HOME/END''' keys or your '''joystick''' to set the elevator trim within the zone.

====Introduction to George, your virtual copilot...====
Before we get into the air <strike>and put our passengers in danger</strike>, let's take a moment to meet ''George'', the DC-10's autopilot system. The most intuitive way to control the autopilot is to use the Mode Control Panel, located in the top-center of the instrument panel. The DC-10, of course, also gives you the option to use a custom autopilot dialog. However, it is less intuitive to use than the panel, and will not be covered here. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the layout:

[[File:DC10 mcp.jpg|600px]]

Our only concern is the three sections in the middle. Left-to-right, they control '''speed''', '''heading''', and '''pitch'''.

All controls on the autopilot panel operate consistently and predictably. Read on to learn how they work:
=====Knobs=====
* To '''pull''' any knob, '''middle-click''' it.
* To '''push''' any knob, '''left-click''' it.
* To '''rotate''' any knob, use the '''scroll wheel''' on it.
=====Buttons=====
* '''Push''' buttons by '''left-clicking''' them.
* Unlike other aircraft, buttons on the DC-10 become depressed while you hold down the mouse button to reinforce the idea that you are actually pushing them.
=====Levers=====
* Levers are the short, fat controls that move along black "tracks."
* The levers for the autothrottle system (labeled "ATS") are toggled using '''left-clicks'''. This is because they only have two settings: on and off.
* The levers for the autopilot system (labeled "AP") move '''up''' with '''left-clicks''' and move '''down''' with '''middle-clicks'''. This is because they have three possible settings.

Mess around with the panel now, getting a feel for the controls. You'll notice white messages appearing on-screen that announce what changes you have made. They help new pilots get familiar with the autopilot. If you happen to find them annoying later on, you can turn the messages off in the autopilot dialog ('''F11''').

===Taking off===
Now, let's actually put George to work! He can't actually get the plane off the ground for us. But while we're still on the ground, we'll input our settings.

====Setting speed====
First, we'll set our desired speed. '''The first thing to realize about the DC-10's autopilot is that the "autothrottle" (the part of the AP that works the throttles) is a completely separate system from the "autopilot" (the part of the AP that controls the ailerons and elevators).''' You can have the autopilot on and the autothrottles off, and vise-versa. This might seem a bit odd compared to certain other airliners you may have flown in FlightGear. This is because, quite frankly, they are modelled ''wrong''. ;-)

We'll set the autothrottle to maintain 250 knots for our climbout. We do this using the speed knob. The speed knob is located in the "ATS" section of the panel; it has an orange triangle on its face. You can adjust the speed setting by '''scrolling''' on this knob. Scroll up until you have selected 250 knots- but wait! If you '''push''' the knob in (that means left-click and hold, remember?) and then '''scroll''' at the same time, the knob adjusts in increments of 10 knots instead of 1. Use this handy trick to make quick adjustments to your speed setting.

Finally, '''pull''' the knob to select the autothrottle's IAS hold mode. (Remember, you pull knobs by '''middle-clicking''' them.)

====Setting heading====
Next, let's tell George which way to turn. The DC-10 ''autopilot'' has several heading modes:
* Magnetic heading hold
* Current heading hold
* Inertial navigation system (INS)*
* VOR-LOC track
* ILS glideslope track (heading only!)

* - The Inertial Navigation System is currently not implemented. Instead, selecting this mode will cause the DC-10's autopilot to follow the route entered in the Route Manager.

All of these modes are fairly self-explanatory. Their usage is explained below.

The heading controls are labelled "HDG" on the panel. Remember, there are actually ''two'' heading knobs; a black one in front and a grey one in the back.

'''To set the ''maximum bank angle'' for the autopilot:'''
# '''Left-click''' the grey heading knob to decrease the bank angle.
# '''Middle-click''' the grey heading knob to increase the bank angle.
# The current bank angle is indicated by the white arrow.

'''To fly by magnetic heading:'''
# '''Rotate''' (scroll) the black heading knob to select the desired heading. (You cannot push the knob to adjust faster, unlike the speed selection knob.)
# '''Pull''' (middle-click) the black knob to select magnetic heading hold mode.

'''To hold the current heading:'''
# '''Push''' (left-click) the black heading knob.
# The autopilot will then maintain the current magnetic heading. (This is basically a "smarter" wing leveller.)

'''To use the <strike>Inertial Navigation System (INS)</strike> Route Manager:'''
# '''Push''' the '''INS''' button.

'''To track a VOR station:'''
# Tune the VOR station on the NAV1 frequency.
# Set the desired course on the NAV1 radial.
# '''Push''' the '''VOR-LOC''' button.

'''To track an ILS glideslope (heading only!):'''
# Tune the ILS station on the NAV1 frequency.
# '''Push''' the '''ILS''' button.

Selecting ILS mode only tells the autopilot to fly the glideslope's heading. To follow it down to the runway, you need to set the pitch mode to LAND.

====Setting pitch====
The DC-10 ''autopilot'' has several pitch modes:
* Vertical speed hold
* Altitude ''capture'' mode
* Speed-with-pitch mode (IAS)
* Speed-with-pitch mode (Mach)
* Autoland mode

Douglas DC-10

2013-06-15T19:11:40Z

Skyop: /* Variants */ Updating the DC-10 pages...

The '''McDonnell Douglas DC-10''' is a three-engine medium- to long-range widebody [[:Category:Airliners|airliner]], with two engines mounted on underwing pylons and a third engine at the base of the vertical stabilizer. The model was a successor to the company's DC-8 for long-range operations, and competed in the same markets as the [[Airbus A300]], [[Boeing 747]], and [[Lockheed L-1011-500|Lockheed L-1011 Tristar]], which has a similar layout to the DC-10.

Production of the DC-10 ended in 1989 with 386 delivered to airlines and 60 to the U.S. Air Force as air-to-air refueling tankers, designated the KC-10 Extender. The DC-10 was succeeded by the related [[McDonnell Douglas MD-11]] which entered service in 1990.

The DC-10 is a low-wing cantilever monoplane with a conventional tail unit with a single fin and rudder. It is powered by two turbofan engines mounted on underwing pylons and a third engine at the base of the vertical stabilizer. It has a retractable tricycle landing gear. The later series 30 and 40 have an additional two-wheel main landing gear on the centerline of the fuselage. It was designed to be a medium to long-range airliner with a widebody fuselage to seat over 250 passengers. It is operated by a flight-crew of three located on the flightdeck in the nose on the same level as the passenger cabin. The fuselage has underfloor stowage for cargo and baggage.

== Variants ==
Currently there are two projects to model the DC-10 for [[FlightGear]]:

The latest version is always available on the official FlightGear aircraft download page.

The CRJ700 also has its own Git repository at [http://gitorious.org/fg-skyops-hangar/crj700-family Gitorious].

=Aircraft of the Week/Month=

The CRJ700 was reviewed by Thorsten R as part of the "Aircraft of the Week/Month" feature on the FlightGear Forums.

====Model====

The 3d cockpit of the CRJ-700 is very detailed and contains not only functionality on the main panel but also on the central console and an overhead panel. However, as often seen, the cockpit surfaces not covered by instrumentation are very simply textured by a monochromatic grey color - a more natural texture resembling a real material with some wear and tear could add a lot here.

[http://www.phy.duke.edu/~trenk/pics/crj700-cockpit.jpg View image]

There is a lot of functionality in the cockpit - a startup procedure using the APU is supported as well as a full set of external lights and no-smoking and seat belt signs for the passengers. A nice touch of the model is that it also contains an interior view of the cabin in which the signs can be observed. Switches and knobs are usually animated, and the clickspots are placed fairly intuitively. The MFD's all have various selectable functions.

The exterior model of the aircraft is also very nicely done, contains good animations and shows all the light switch settings in the cockpit faithfully. An option to switch livery exists as well.

[http://www.phy.duke.edu/~trenk/pics/crj700-model.jpg View image]

====Flight characteristics====

The FDM of the CRJ-700 is quite plausible for an airliner of its size. I haven't really tested the behaviour at the edge of the performance envelope, but during normal operations, the plane behaves well and reaches basic performance characteristics. All in all, the plane is an airliner (albeit a small one) - it turns slowly, it does not descent rapidly without picking up a lot of excess speed and all maneuvers need to be planned well in advance. Having said that, it's actually fun to fly.

I found the AP nicely tuned and able to fly turns, climb or dive at all altitudes without oscillations or weird behaviour. Unfortunately, the support for AP modes involving navaids is not as good: While I could home in on a VOR station, the AP seems to be tracking the station rather than the chosen radial, i.e. the angle under which I approached the station kept changing. Also, I was unable to intercept an ILS glideslope automatically. However, the plane can be operated well in IFR conditions just using the instruments to display the navaid signals and the heading and altitude modes of the AP to control the plane.

====My personal wishlist====

Fixing the AP to a more consistent behaviour with navaids would be high on my priority list - there are currently very few airliners with a well-tuned AP capable of tracking navaids. Some more natural texturing in the cockpit would also be nice. I realize that the CRJ-700 is a fairly recent addition to the aircraft repository of Flightgear - but I like where the model is going very much.

====Things to experience====

Try flying at night - the CRJ-700 has one of the best light concepts I've ever seen. The instrument lights are very beautifully done and can be dimmed at need, the cabin lights likewise, and all lighting is visible both from internal and external views.

''Editor's note: The autopilot VOR-LOC/ILS holds have been fixed as of CRJ700 v1.0.2.''

Dual control

2012-07-07T19:27:38Z

Skyop: /* Aircraft */ Added CRJ700 (2.0.0 implementation sucks, but it counts)

[[File:Dualcontrolready.png]]

'''Dual Control''' is a system for [[FlightGear]] that adds basic support for shared control of an [[aircraft]] over the FlightGear [[Multiplayer Howto|multiplayer network]].

'''Note:''' [[FlightGear 1.9.0]] or later is needed to use Dual Control.

== Aircraft ==

Currently there are a small number of aircraft with dual control support:
* [[Airbus A320 Family]], pilot and co-pilot (<tt>A3xx-xx1</tt>, <tt>A320-copilot</tt>). Available from [http://gitorious.org/airbus-aircraft/a320 Gitorious project page]. Be sure to rename the aircraft directory to "A320-family" after checking out/downloading.
* [[Airbus A340-600]], pilot and co-pilot (<tt>A340-600</tt>, <tt>A346-copilot</tt>). Available in FlightGear 2.0 or later, Latest beta versions available on the forum.
* [[Blackburn Buccaneer]], pilot and systems officer (<tt>buccaneer</tt>, <tt>buccaneer-obs</tt>). Available in FlightGear 1.9.0 or later.
* [[Boeing 747-400]], pilot flying and pilot monitoring (<tt>747-400</tt>, <tt>747-400-fo</tt>). Available in FlightGear/Git.
* c172p Skyhawk, pilot and copilot (<tt>c172p-pilot</tt> and <tt>c172p-copilot</tt>). Based on David Megginson's [[Cessna C172|c172p]] single control aircraft. Available from [http://www.gidenstam.org/FlightGear/DualControl/Aircraft the dual-control aircraft hangar]. The tar.gz archive for the aircraft should be extracted in $FG_ROOT/Aircraft/.
* [[Bombardier CRJ700]] (all variants), pilot and first officer (<tt>CRJ700</tt>, et al and <tt>CRJ700-firstofficer</tt>). Copilot can control aircraft using joystick and keyboard shortcuts but not toggle any switches. Available in FlightGear 2.0.0 or later. Improved dual control support available through development version at [http://gitorious.org/fg-skyops-aircraft/crj700-family Gitorious]. Be sure to rename the aircraft directory to "CRJ700-family" after checking out/downloading.
* [[fr/Douglas DC-3-C47]], pilot and copilot <u>can control aircraft</u>, and passenger 1 to 4 (<tt>dc-3</tt>, <tt>dc-3-copilot</tt>, <tt>dc-3-psg1</tt>, <tt>dc-3-psg2</tt>, <tt>dc-3-psg3</tt>, <tt>dc-3-psg4</tt>). Available in GIT.
* [[Embraer E-jets Family]], pilot and co-pilot (<tt>Embraer-17X</tt>, <tt>Embraer-17X-Copilot</tt>), Avaliable from [www.theomegahangar.yolasite.com|TheOmegaHangar]
* [[Grumman F-14 Tomcat]], pilot and RIO (<tt>f-14b</tt>, <tt>f-14b-bs</tt>). Available in FlightGear 2.0.0 or later.
* [[Hughes OH-6 Cayuse]], pilot and co-pilot (<tt>OH-6</tt>, <tt>OH-6-cp</tt>). Available on [[Hughes OH-6 Cayuse|the wiki page]].
* [[ASK-13 sailplane|Schleicher ASK-13 glider]], pilot and passenger (<tt>ask13</tt>, <tt>ask13-passenger</tt>). Available in FlightGear/Git.
* [[Submarine Scout]], pilot and observer (<tt>Submarine_Scout</tt>, <tt>Submarine_Scout-observer</tt>). Available in FlightGear 1.9.0 or later.
* [[Storch|Fieseler Fi 156 Storch]], pilot and passenger (<tt>Fi-156-de</tt>, <tt>Fi-156-passenger</tt>). Available in FlightGear 2.0.0 or later.
* [[Zeppelin NT]], pilot and copilot (<tt>ZLT-NT</tt>, <tt>ZLT-NT-copilot</tt>). Available in FlightGear 1.9.0 or later.

To connect the pilot and copilot selects each other in the Copilot dialog (FlightGear 2.0.0 or later) or set properties as explained in the usage instructions below.

Dual control enables a pilot and copilot to jointly fly the aircraft over the FlightGear multiplayer network. Depending on the aircraft the pilot and copilot have shared control over primary flight controls, throttle, mixture and so on. Exactly which controls are shared varies between the aircraft but usually include elevator trim, flaps, brakes, cockpit switches, the radio stack and some instrument settings. The copilot usually has a subset of the full instrumentation (also depending on the aircraft), usually including airspeed, altimeter, VSI, HSI, turn coordinator, engine RPM and the radio stack. Typically Nav/Comm 1 and the first VOR indicator is best controlled by the pilot, while Nav/Comm 2 and the corresponding VOR indicator is faster for the copilot.

[[File:ZLT-NT-dual.jpg]]
</center>
<center>
''Side-by-side presentation of the Zeppelin NT pilot's (left) and copilot's (right) views.''
</center>

== Usage instruction ==
The system consists of two "aircraft":

The pilot uses a special variant of the c172p, <tt>c172p-pilot</tt>. The pilot needs to specify the callsign of the copilot (other copilots will be ignored).
For the Zeppelin NT the aircraft names are <tt>ZLT-NT</tt> and <tt>ZLT-NT-copilot</tt>, respectively.

In the current version the pilot and copilot can select each other in their Co/Pilot selection dialogs available from the "Zeppelin NT/c172p-dual-control"->"MP-(Co)Pilot" menus.

Alternatively the relevant properties can be set from the command line or via the property browser.

'''Pilot usage example:'''
fgfs --aircraft=c172p-pilot --prop:/sim/remote/pilot-callsign="someone"

The copilot uses a special "aircraft", c172p-copilot, which piggybacks on the designated pilot and captures the local control inputs. A current limitation is that only the cockpit views are jitter free. There is also a noticeable delay between control inputs and effect, since they are passed via the the multiplayer protocol. The severity of this delay depend on round trip time and some other factors - the delay seems significantly longer than the round trip time itself which is due to buffering in the MP protocol receiver. That said, I have flown successfully as copilot in a setup with 100-120ms round trip time between both pilot and server and copilot and server (total delay >500ms). Landing is a bit exciting in that case, however.

'''Copilot usage example:'''
fgfs --aircraft=c172p-copilot --prop:/sim/remote/pilot-callsign="anybody"
Note: External views are jitter prone for the copilot.

== Developer information ==

The main part of the Dual Control system is a set of generic [[Nasal scripting language|Nasal]] modules and modified instrument files that form the core of the networked shared control functionality. See the link below for some more information.

Version 1.0.0 is available off the official FlightGear 2.4.0 aircraft download page. The latest version, 1.0.3, is available [http://flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11863&p=136022#p136022 on the FlightGear Forums].

The CRJ700 also has its own Git repository at [http://gitorious.org/fg-skyops-hangar/crj700-family Gitorious].

=Aircraft of the Week/Month=

The CRJ700 was reviewed by Thorsten B as part of the "Aircraft of the Week/Month" feature on the FlightGear Forums.

====Model====

The 3d cockpit of the CRJ-700 is very detailed and contains not only functionality on the main panel but also on the central console and an overhead panel. However, as often seen, the cockpit surfaces not covered by instrumentation are very simply textured by a monochromatic grey color - a more natural texture resembling a real material with some wear and tear could add a lot here.

[http://www.phy.duke.edu/~trenk/pics/crj700-cockpit.jpg View image]

There is a lot of functionality in the cockpit - a startup procedure using the APU is supported as well as a full set of external lights and no-smoking and seat belt signs for the passengers. A nice touch of the model is that it also contains an interior view of the cabin in which the signs can be observed. Switches and knobs are usually animated, and the clickspots are placed fairly intuitively. The MFD's all have various selectable functions.

The exterior model of the aircraft is also very nicely done, contains good animations and shows all the light switch settings in the cockpit faithfully. An option to switch livery exists as well.

====Flight characteristics====

The FDM of the CRJ-700 is quite plausible for an airliner of its size. I haven't really tested the behaviour at the edge of the performance envelope, but during normal operations, the plane behaves well and reaches basic performance characteristics. All in all, the plane is an airliner (albeit a small one) - it turns slowly, it does not descent rapidly without picking up a lot of excess speed and all maneuvers need to be planned well in advance. Having said that, it's actually fun to fly.

I found the AP nicely tuned and able to fly turns, climb or dive at all altitudes without oscillations or weird behaviour. Unfortunately, the support for AP modes involving navaids is not as good: While I could home in on a VOR station, the AP seems to be tracking the station rather than the chosen radial, i.e. the angle under which I approached the station kept changing. Also, I was unable to intercept an ILS glideslope automatically. However, the plane can be operated well in IFR conditions just using the instruments to display the navaid signals and the heading and altitude modes of the AP to control the plane.

====My personal wishlist====

Fixing the AP to a more consistent behaviour with navaids would be high on my priority list - there are currently very few airliners with a well-tuned AP capable of tracking navaids. Some more natural texturing in the cockpit would also be nice. I realize that the CRJ-700 is a fairly recent addition to the aircraft repository of Flightgear - but I like where the model is going very much.

====Things to experience====

Try flying at night - the CRJ-700 has one of the best light concepts I've ever seen. The instrument lights are very beautifully done and can be dimmed at need, the cabin lights likewise, and all lighting is visible both from internal and external views.

''Editor's note: The autopilot VOR-LOC/ILS holds have been fixed as of CRJ700 v1.0.2.''

One of the regular thoughts expressed on the FlightGear forums is "I'd like to contribute but I don't know how to program, and I don't have the time". Unfortunately, there is a common mis-conception that contributing requires programming and lots of free time. In fact, there are a huge range of ways to contribute to the project without needing to write code or spending days working on something.

For ideas on starting to contribute to FlightGear, you may want to check out: [[Volunteer]].

=Aircraft of the Week/Month=

The CRJ700 was reviewed by Thorsten B as part of the "Aircraft of the Week/Month" feature on the FlightGear Forums.

====Model====

The 3d cockpit of the CRJ-700 is very detailed and contains not only functionality on the main panel but also on the central console and an overhead panel. However, as often seen, the cockpit surfaces not covered by instrumentation are very simply textured by a monochromatic grey color - a more natural texture resembling a real material with some wear and tear could add a lot here.

[http://www.phy.duke.edu/~trenk/pics/crj700-cockpit.jpg View image]

There is a lot of functionality in the cockpit - a startup procedure using the APU is supported as well as a full set of external lights and no-smoking and seat belt signs for the passengers. A nice touch of the model is that it also contains an interior view of the cabin in which the signs can be observed. Switches and knobs are usually animated, and the clickspots are placed fairly intuitively. The MFD's all have various selectable functions.

The exterior model of the aircraft is also very nicely done, contains good animations and shows all the light switch settings in the cockpit faithfully. An option to switch livery exists as well.

====Flight characteristics====

The FDM of the CRJ-700 is quite plausible for an airliner of its size. I haven't really tested the behaviour at the edge of the performance envelope, but during normal operations, the plane behaves well and reaches basic performance characteristics. All in all, the plane is an airliner (albeit a small one) - it turns slowly, it does not descent rapidly without picking up a lot of excess speed and all maneuvers need to be planned well in advance. Having said that, it's actually fun to fly.

I found the AP nicely tuned and able to fly turns, climb or dive at all altitudes without oscillations or weird behaviour. Unfortunately, the support for AP modes involving navaids is not as good: While I could home in on a VOR station, the AP seems to be tracking the station rather than the chosen radial, i.e. the angle under which I approached the station kept changing. Also, I was unable to intercept an ILS glideslope automatically. However, the plane can be operated well in IFR conditions just using the instruments to display the navaid signals and the heading and altitude modes of the AP to control the plane.

====My personal wishlist====

Fixing the AP to a more consistent behaviour with navaids would be high on my priority list - there are currently very few airliners with a well-tuned AP capable of tracking navaids. Some more natural texturing in the cockpit would also be nice. I realize that the CRJ-700 is a fairly recent addition to the aircraft repository of Flightgear - but I like where the model is going very much.

====Things to experience====

Try flying at night - the CRJ-700 has one of the best light concepts I've ever seen. The instrument lights are very beautifully done and can be dimmed at need, the cabin lights likewise, and all lighting is visible both from internal and external views.

=Aircraft of the Week/Month=

The CRJ700 was reviewed by Thorsten B as part of the "Aircraft of the Week/Month" feature on the FlightGear Forums.

====Model====

The 3d cockpit of the CRJ-700 is very detailed and contains not only functionality on the main panel but also on the central console and an overhead panel. However, as often seen, the cockpit surfaces not covered by instrumentation are very simply textured by a monochromatic grey color - a more natural texture resembling a real material with some wear and tear could add a lot here.

[http://www.phy.duke.edu/~trenk/pics/crj700-cockpit.jpg View image]

There is a lot of functionality in the cockpit - a startup procedure using the APU is supported as well as a full set of external lights and no-smoking and seat belt signs for the passengers. A nice touch of the model is that it also contains an interior view of the cabin in which the signs can be observed. Switches and knobs are usually animated, and the clickspots are placed fairly intuitively. The MFD's all have various selectable functions.

The exterior model of the aircraft is also very nicely done, contains good animations and shows all the light switch settings in the cockpit faithfully. An option to switch livery exists as well.

[http://www.phy.duke.edu/~trenk/pics/crj700-model.jpg View image]

====Flight characteristics====

The FDM of the CRJ-700 is quite plausible for an airliner of its size. I haven't really tested the behaviour at the edge of the performance envelope, but during normal operations, the plane behaves well and reaches basic performance characteristics. All in all, the plane is an airliner (albeit a small one) - it turns slowly, it does not descent rapidly without picking up a lot of excess speed and all maneuvers need to be planned well in advance. Having said that, it's actually fun to fly.

I found the AP nicely tuned and able to fly turns, climb or dive at all altitudes without oscillations or weird behaviour. Unfortunately, the support for AP modes involving navaids is not as good: While I could home in on a VOR station, the AP seems to be tracking the station rather than the chosen radial, i.e. the angle under which I approached the station kept changing. Also, I was unable to intercept an ILS glideslope automatically. However, the plane can be operated well in IFR conditions just using the instruments to display the navaid signals and the heading and altitude modes of the AP to control the plane.

====My personal wishlist====

Fixing the AP to a more consistent behaviour with navaids would be high on my priority list - there are currently very few airliners with a well-tuned AP capable of tracking navaids. Some more natural texturing in the cockpit would also be nice. I realize that the CRJ-700 is a fairly recent addition to the aircraft repository of Flightgear - but I like where the model is going very much.

====Things to experience====

Try flying at night - the CRJ-700 has one of the best light concepts I've ever seen. The instrument lights are very beautifully done and can be dimmed at need, the cabin lights likewise, and all lighting is visible both from internal and external views.

''Editor's note: The autopilot VOR-LOC/ILS holds have been fixed in the CRJ700's master branch at Gitorious.''

Howto:Animated jetways (Type 1)

2011-06-23T22:39:03Z

Skyop: /* Using the jetways */ Finish this portion

'''Animated jetways''' are dynamic jetway models that connect to your aircraft when you are pulled up at the gate. [[FlightGear]] touts the most advanced animated jetways in the flight simulator market, beating those of Microsoft Flight Simulator and X-plane in features- a testament to the flexibility of FlightGear. This article describes how to obtain and use the jetways and interface them with aircraft and scenery.

= Obtaining and installing =

[[Flightgear and Git|Git versions]] of FlightGear later than June 17, 2011 include the animated jetway system. Nothing extra has to be installed.

Downloads for other versions of FlightGear, including updated files implementing the system for some aircraft, can be found on the first post of [http://flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8728 this thread] on the FlightGear Forums. Read the included README for installation instructions. '''Note that FG 2.0.0 users will NOT be able to get support for new airports added through Terrasync.'''

= Using the jetways =

Start FlightGear in any animated jetway-compatible aircraft. Currently, these include the following:
* [[Boeing 717]] (separate download) (support available in Git)
* [[Boeing 777-200ER]] (separate download)
* [[Bombardier CRJ700]]

Fly (or spawn) to any airport equipped with animated jetways. Ensure you have the latest scenery from [[TerraSync]], so you don't get conflicts between animated and static jetways! At the moment, the following airports are animated jetway-compatible:
* [[London Gatwick Airport]] (EGKK)*
* [[Amsterdam Airport Schiphol]] (EHAM)
* Denver International Airport (KDEN)*
* Las Vegas McCarran International Airport (KLAS)*
* [[San Francisco International Airport]] (KSFO)
* Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (PANC)*
''<nowiki>*</nowiki> - Indicates the jetways for this airport were auto-converted and do not have gate numbers''

You can tell if a jetway is animated by pressing Ctrl-C. If the polygons are highlighted in yellow, then it's animated. Also look for a yellow line on the pavement. If it's there, that means it's an obsolete animated jetway that will hopefully be replaced by the developer of the airport at some future point. Otherwise, it's a newer jetway.

Taxi up to an animated jetway and park near it. Click it, and if your aircraft is supported and parked well enough, the jetway will extend, rotate, and connect.

= Adding support in aircraft =

Open up your aircraft's main model in your favorite 3d modeling software (the author prefers [[Blender]]). Move the model around to account for any offsets you have in the main model file. Then get the coordinates of the door.

[[File:Animated-jetway-tutorial.jpg]]

Now add the following code in your aircraft's -set.xml (remember to merge the tags properly):

<syntaxhighlight language="xml">
<sim>
<model>
<door>
<position-x-m type="float">X-M</position-x-m>
<position-y-m type="float">Y-M</position-y-m>
<position-z-m type="float">Z-M</position-z-m>
<jetway-hood-deg type="float">HOOD-DEG</jetway-hood-deg>
</door>
</model>
</sim>
</syntaxhighlight>

Where '''X-M''', '''Y-M''', and '''Z-M''' are the X/Y/Z coordinates of the door in meters and '''HOOD-DEG''' is the jetway hood rotation amount. To specify more doors, just add more door elements.

Finally, add the following code into your XML model file. It enables the jetways to connect to your aircraft over the [[multiplayer]] network.

<nasal>
<load>
var model = cmdarg();
model.getNode("door[0]/position-x-m", 1).setValue(X-M);
model.getNode("door[0]/position-y-m", 1).setValue(Y-M);
model.getNode("door[0]/position-z-m", 1).setValue(Z-M);
model.getNode("door[0]/jetway-hood-deg", 1).setValue(HOOD-DEG);
</load>
</nasal>

Again, replace '''X-M''', '''Y-M''', '''Z-M''', and '''HOOD-DEG''' with their respective values. To add more doors, duplicate the last 4 lines of [[Nasal]] code and replace <tt>[0]</tt> with <tt>[1]</tt> or <tt>[2]</tt>.

== Adding support in AI aircraft ==

Follow the steps for regular aircraft above, but only add in the Nasal code.

= Adding support in scenery =

== Placing jetways ==

Launch FlightGear in your favorite aircraft. The author uses the [[Bluebird]]. You ''cannot'' use the [[UFO]] because its scenery-editing function will interfere with the jetway editor. Go to AI > Jetway Settings and tick the "Enable jetway editor" checkbox. Then click the "Open Editor" button.

[[File:Animated-jetway-editor.jpg]]

With the editor enabled, click anywhere on the ground to place an animated jetway, which will flash to indicate it is selected. The jetway editor is similar to the UFO's scenery model editor. You can Alt-click on the terrain to move the current selected jetway. Ctrl-click selects the jetway closest to the click position (the new jetway will flash to indicate it's selected). Shift-click deselects the current jetway.

The dialog is used to adjust the selected jetway. The top sliders adjust position and orientation, and the bottom ones adjust the jetway itself. The offsets that the bottom sliders control can be used to model jetways that are in obscure configurations. The drop-down menus at the very bottom of the dialog control various properties of the jetway, such as the model, gate number, airline sign, and door number. At the moment, the following models are available:

* Generic
* Glass
* [[EHAM]] gate
* [[EHAM]] 747 gate

When you are finished editing your airport jetway layout, click the "Export" button. A jetway definition file will be created and written to <tt>$FG_HOME/Export/ICAO.xml</tt>, where <tt>ICAO</tt> is the ICAO code of the nearest airport. (The exact location of this file is printed to the console window.) This file should be submitted to Terrasync (see [[FlightGear Scenery Database#Contribute]]).

Virtual airlines

2011-06-18T00:08:28Z

Skyop: /* Current Flightgear Virtual Airlines */ Sort alphabetically

A '''virtual airline''' (VA) is a dedicated hobby organization that uses flight simulation to model the operations of an airline. Virtual airlines generally have a presence on the internet, similar to a real airline. There are over 100 virtual airlines of significance currently active in the internet (supporting a number of flightsims), with thousands of participants involved at any one time each using different simulator platforms.

== A note ==
There has been a rapidly expanding number of VAs in Flightgear, and there is not enough people to support this bugeoning explosion of VAs. So think twice about creating a VA, because we're running out of pilots.

On the other hand, if you really want it and are confident, go ahead and create! This is flightgear, Fly Free! You're FREE to do what you want.

== Purpose ==
Virtual airlines were started to give a sense of purpose to activities conducted within a flight simulator. This basic premise has evolved over time, along with available technology, to provide increasing levels of immersion but always with the same core purpose. When combined with increasingly powerful personal computers, advancing flight simulation software, and communications networks, virtual airlines are often able to provide compelling, realistic, experiences similar to operations inside a real airline. Virtual airlines also provide an avenue for members to gain access to additional content, such as aircraft and scenery, for use with their simulator. The appeal varies; for younger members, virtual airlines provide a sandbox environment where they can experience the corporate environment of commercial business in the airline industry, without the risk of financial loss. These organizations also provide an outlet for those who are interested in aviation but unable to fly themselves in real life due to financial, health, or other reasons.
Most of all, its one step closer to enthusiasts feeling more involved in an airline environment and share their interests with others.
Virtual Airlines also benefit the flight simulator community by providing valuable services such as ATC, events, and general help and knowledge.

== Common elements ==
There are several elements that are common across many virtual airlines:
* A website as the focal point of the community
* Internet forum where discussion and social interaction can occur
* Customized livery that users can download together with aircraft and install in their flight simulator
* Route schedules for members to fly in their simulators
* Multiplayer events, often on a game network such as VATSIM or IVAO
* Less common elements include:
* An Online database for recording and reporting flights and membership statistics
* Dedicated game server hosting to provide private areas for members to complete flights
* Award, rank and recognition systems
* Voice over Internet Protocol servers for members to communicate freely by voice

== Current Flightgear Virtual Airlines ==
Currently, some number of virtual airlines exist, with airlines made of various experiences, fleets and operations. Here is a list of some of the known virtual airlines to have existed:

* Air H5
* [[Ares Virtual Airlines]]
* [[Atlas Virtual Airlines]]

When a virtual airline is created in the image of a real world airline legal issues can arise out of copyright violations. In 2003, a real world airline, Qantas Airways Ltd., announced a new low-cost carrier by the name of Jetstar Airways. However, a virtual airline named Jetstar International Airlines already existed, complete with a web site. As part of their startup promotion, Qantas sold 100,000 airline tickets at a discount price, and the virtual airline's web site was swamped with would-be customers, job-seekers, and prospective vendors. The virtual airline sued Qantas, claiming that Qantas stole the virtual airline's livery and trademark.
If you wish to create a virtual airline- Which Flightgear would be eager for you to do, Please do not base it on real life airlines to save copyright issues!

=== Misuse ===
Claims have been made of the use of both flight simulators and virtual airlines as training devices for criminal activities, although to date no conclusive link has ever been provided to indicate a situation where a virtual airline has provided flight simulation training to anyone involved in a terrorist activity.
Jermaine Lindsay, one of the four 7 July 2005 London bombings, may have used flight simulators to practice flying an airliner, with an accusation that he was registered with a virtual airline. A person of the same name listed his nearest major airport as Heathrow and clocked up 30 hours in two months with SimAirline.net. The website later denied the member's linking with the bombing, and indicated it was working with the Metropolitan Police to establish whether its former member was the bomber. The website stated that it provides information about airlines and free add-on software for Microsoft Flight Simulator and does not provide flight instruction to its members.
The 9/11 Commission in the US concluded in 2004 that those responsible for flying the planes into World Trade Center and Pentagon had used PC-based flight simulators for training. Despite the initial concerns of the involvement of virtual airlines in these terrorist activities, largely little has come from these claims to date and no changes have been noted as occurring in their operation as a result.

Virtual airlines

Skyop: Undo revision 32462 by Seasonal007 (talk) Let's keep the alphabetical ordering, please

A '''virtual airline''' (VA) is a dedicated hobby organization that uses flight simulation to model the operations of an airline. Virtual airlines generally have a presence on the internet, similar to a real airline. There are over 100 virtual airlines of significance currently active in the internet (supporting a number of flightsims), with thousands of participants involved at any one time each using different simulator platforms.

== A note ==
There has been a rapidly expanding number of VAs in Flightgear, and there is not enough people to support this bugeoning explosion of VAs. So think twice about creating a VA, because we're running out of pilots.

On the other hand, if you really want it and are confident, go ahead and create! This is flightgear, Fly Free! You're FREE to do what you want.

== Purpose ==
Virtual airlines were started to give a sense of purpose to activities conducted within a flight simulator. This basic premise has evolved over time, along with available technology, to provide increasing levels of immersion but always with the same core purpose. When combined with increasingly powerful personal computers, advancing flight simulation software, and communications networks, virtual airlines are often able to provide compelling, realistic, experiences similar to operations inside a real airline. Virtual airlines also provide an avenue for members to gain access to additional content, such as aircraft and scenery, for use with their simulator. The appeal varies; for younger members, virtual airlines provide a sandbox environment where they can experience the corporate environment of commercial business in the airline industry, without the risk of financial loss. These organizations also provide an outlet for those who are interested in aviation but unable to fly themselves in real life due to financial, health, or other reasons.
Most of all, its one step closer to enthusiasts feeling more involved in an airline environment and share their interests with others.
Virtual Airlines also benefit the flight simulator community by providing valuable services such as ATC, events, and general help and knowledge.

== Common elements ==
There are several elements that are common across many virtual airlines:
* A website as the focal point of the community
* Internet forum where discussion and social interaction can occur
* Customized livery that users can download together with aircraft and install in their flight simulator
* Route schedules for members to fly in their simulators
* Multiplayer events, often on a game network such as VATSIM or IVAO
* Less common elements include:
* An Online database for recording and reporting flights and membership statistics
* Dedicated game server hosting to provide private areas for members to complete flights
* Award, rank and recognition systems
* Voice over Internet Protocol servers for members to communicate freely by voice

== Current Flightgear Virtual Airlines ==
Currently, some number of virtual airlines exist, with airlines made of various experiences, fleets and operations. Here is a list of some of the known virtual airlines to have existed:

* Air H5
* Trans Pacific Express
* [[Merlion Virtual Airlines]]

Table of models

2011-06-17T18:14:14Z

Skyop: Replace CRJ900 with CRJ700, update A333/A343

'''Table of models''' targets major past, present, and planned [[GPL license]]d [[aircraft]] & [[vehicle]]s for [[FlightGear]]. It mostly excludes third-party [[FlightGear hangars|hangars]] that are not non-free, or Creative Commons licensed items.

Features, quality, and compatibility vary significantly; their development is dependent on the volunteers who worked on them, with the exception of some university and government funded projects.

Main list is alphabetical order with "name/designation_(maker(s))" or "maker_name/designation(s)", and sometimes additional notes. Note that there can be more than one project for one aircraft, and more then one variant in a single aircraft installation. Although it is not intended, the table does have errors in compatibility and misses aircraft. [http://www.flightgear.org/Downloads/aircraft-2.0.0/ Official Aircraft for 2.0] is an alternative, as is [[:Category:Aircraft]].

Skyop: /* Narrowbody & Midsize */ Replace CRJ900 with CRJ700

This list is not updated to include all the official [[GNU General Public License|GPL licensed]] '''aircraft''' for [[FlightGear]], but gives a visual sampling of the different types of aircraft and genres of aircraft officially available. See [[Table of models]] for the comprehensive list.

The examples listed here are officially available from the FlightGear project, and can be downloaded at [http://flightgear.org/Downloads/aircraft-2.0.0/ FlightGear.org], with installation typically requiring an unzipping program, and manual [[Howto: Install aircraft|installation]] in the FlightGear aircraft directory. More aircraft are available in [[FlightGear hangars|non-official hangars]].

FlightGear aircraft features, quality, and compatibility vary significantly. Their development is dependent on the [[volunteer]]s who worked on them, with exception of some University and Government funded projects.

=== Light civilian aircraft ===
The Cessna 172 is the default aircraft in FGFS 2.0. These aircraft typically have 1-2 piston engines, props, and avionics geared towards those with civilian pilot licenses.

}}

=== Modern Airliners ===
These typically have 2-4 turbofan engines and some of the more complicated takeoff and landing procedures (such as multiple [[flaps]]). In addition, avionics in real life is geared towards those with professional pilots licenses and special certifications. However, the simplifications of FG make it much easier to fly in the simulation.

=== Helicopters ===
{{Main article|Helicopter}}

Helicopters have fundamentally different controls than fixed wing aircraft (see ''[[Flying the Helicopter]]''). Modern helicopter typically feature 1-2 turbine engines, which power a main rotor with 2-6 blades.

}}

=== Gliders, Sailplanes, & Ultralights ===
These typically have the simplest controls, with minimal avionics. Flying [[:Category:Gliders|gliders]] or sailplanes using [[Soaring|thermals]] can provide more complicated experience. Ultralights on the other hand are among the simplest aircraft in FG.
