Blackbird Sims / Milviz Forum Archive

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and enchanted by this wonderful Beaver ...

The plane is so detailed that curiosity pushed me even further and I discovered a texture file "Beaver_ext_gasAddon.dds" which seems dedicated to the filler compartment (the 3 filler necks of the fuel tanks).
Does anyone know how to access this compartment and if there is a dedicated animation for the hinged door on the forward left-hand side of
the fuselage, adjacent to the cockpit door?

And I have a second question about the files "air": is it normal that each file "air" contains 3 times the "Record: 0451 Cl_beta - Dihedral effect vs. AoA" with 3 times different values? or perhaps it is a mistake ... and in this case the flightdynamic is it influenced?

So if someone can provide answers ..

The filler door should, as I understand it, open when your near a fueling area. The repeats are to be ignored.

Thank you for this suggestion, but no. By approaching a fuel trigger the door remains closed under all circumstances.
However if Milviz has provided a texture, I suppose it is not to color an invisible part. I must have missed something ...
But that's not important. Only one precision.

Hey Colin, how about asking the developers how to open the fuel panel.
It was clearly displayed in the WIP shots: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5652

The filler door does not open in sim , until its possible to have animated ramp agents to fill the tanks I don't animate these . In the 64 bit platform there is enough "poly overhead" to allow this and its time will come but for the moment compatibility limits the model size .
