Hi Clifton, So, again my understanding with the linking of the sounds is that they will trigger together, but they don't actually affect each other, right? The second one will do it's own thing according to it's settings, just at the same time as the first one, right? Why would the [combustion1] sec...

Hi Clifton, DragSu,

Ok, thank you. I didn't know routers had a hate on for 255.255.255.255, so that's news to me! I'll keep this in mind going forward, though.

Thanks,
david

Hi Clifton, Yes and no. First off - I tried the WheeledTank sample, and put in my F35 combustion sounds, and used those settings you gave - it sounds just as I'd expected it to, and how the F35 sounds. When the rpm gets up there, it still sounds like a continuous smooth sound. I copied those setting...

Ok, weird. I set the last value in my subnet to 0, and it appears to be working!

Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble getting the DIS interface working in Pro Plus, here. I'm a little confused about the network settings, the subnet mask in particular. I've got it set to the localhost for the IP, so 127.0.0.1, and I'm attempting to just broadcast, and I want to set my subnet mask to 2...

Hi Ron, That's interesting - I was interpreting that as the pitch played at that output level - ie: my combustion value from 0.0 through 1.0, not the position it the sound file. So in my case, if my PercentRpm is tied to my combustion sounds, and if it is less than 0.50, the sound doesn't play. When...

I'm thinking that your code is trying to update the engine too quickly, but I am not sure. You may have to do some checking as to the delta argument in the update and say play the sound less often. No kidding? I have my ISimulator set to 100hz... could that really be it? I'll have to try slowing it...

Hi Ron, Welcome to the world of P3D(FSX) SDK issues - thanks for finding this documentation error. Yes I believe it should be a Bool in the documentation not percent. lol, all right. :) Yes, it's been a while since I've really had to dig deep into P3D/ESP/FSX. but I've noticed when my PercentRpm val...

Hi, I'm trying to add some sounds to my ISimObject aircraft, and I'm having a few issues that I'm a little confused about. For my sounds, for starters, I copied the included F35 sounds, to give me something to work with. I have some set up, but I'm also getting some weird audio effect when my plane ...

Hi Mike,

Great, thanks!

Also - found out my position/orientation values were getting truncated - fixed that and now it's all nice and smooth!

Thanks,
david

Hi Mike, So I'm getting my velocity in body coordinates, and then using the matrix class from the example to convert them to world. When I get my position, I will set it to the matrix by calling Matrix.Update with my orientation, then call BodyToWorld with my body velocity. Just to make sure I have ...

Hi Mike,

Ok, that's great. But they don't affect the movement of the vehicle at all?

Yes, I'm seeing the jerkiness when in the virtual cockpit as well. I'm setting the delta time as in the example, basically passing it through from the update parameter.

Thanks,
david

Hi, I'm currently trying to get an ISimObject plugin working, and receiving some position updates from an external sim using a little udp socket in my ISimulation class. It seems to be working, but the movement is a little jerky in Prepar3d, so I'm trying to understand why. First off, I set my ISimu...

Hi Mike,

Ok, thank you! I did not see that modeldef file in the sampleAirplane folder. This definitely helps clarify how the sample is working.

Does this same method also apply to gauges, etc inside the cockpit?

Thanks,
david

Any thoughts on this? Is using the ISimObject only recommended when creating new vehicle models? If so, do these properties I set in the code need to be named in such a way that the 3d model will animate properly? If I want to use an existing model, how can I get the parts to animate? What should I ...
