Stability Coefficients for SimpleObjects

(1/1)

jamarogers:
I am working on a mission that involves a helicopter lift of an object (lifeboat). I tried coefficients from other liftable objects but they don't work with this model. When lifted the boats swings uncontrollably and crashes. I'm using FSX stock model "Veh_Greek_Fishingboat_05_Sm" with hoist point added. Can anyone explain or direct me to a source on the use of:
translational damping
ground rotational damping
ground rotational stability
air translational damping
air rotational damping
air rotational stability
The SDK gives only an example...no explanation.  Thanks for any help.
Jake

Bruce Hamilton:
You probably won't be able to lift stock objects because stock helicopters don't have hoists.   ;)

Hi Jake,

I think your best source for help would be on the FSDevelopers forum: http://www.fsdeveloper.com/

There is a wealth of knowledge in there, and if you post your question there, someone will usually try to help. A lot of very knowledgable talent in that forum.
