Title: VTOL and STOL Aircraft ... Addons So far
Post by: jamie_psx on 22 Apr 2003, 00:31:31: OK so we've finally got actual models of the Harrier (from Vit) and the Yak 38 and 141 (from OFPman1).

They're all beautiful models but I never use the Yaks (since they act like helicopters and so are too slow), and I only use the Harrier, even though it can't hover.

Here's my question:

Where in the Harrier's cpp file do I adjust the minimum flying speed (and maybe the minimum takeoff and landing speeds) so that I can slow it down in the air without stalling the aircraft and crashing to the ground?

(This adjustment would be for my personal use, so I'm not gonna pass off Vit's addon as my own or anything like that).

As far as i know this is all that you can change

maneuvrability=50.0;
      maxSpeed=200;
      aileronSensitivity = 0.4;
      elevatorSensitivity = 1;
      flapsFrictionCoef = .9;
      noseDownCoef = 1;          landingSpeed = 90; (used for ai landing)

to make it short take off i made the .p3d model very light so it dosent take to long to get in the sky, but the plane in ofp reality, only TO's at speed= to 65. the takeoff distance is about double to the real thing.

I'am not sure with the harrier as it's vtol may be you'll have to wait for Klinks harrier

Hope that helps

All have working VTOL and STOL.
