Re: Rotation:

[wsieffert]

Jonathan,

If you turn OFF crash detection, it does just that! It allows you to keep
flying even if you have exceeded parameters. We had that built into hight end
flight simulators for "Dog and Pony Shows", such as when VIPs wanted to fly a
Jet Fighter Aircraft.

I guess the solution is to leave "Crash Detection ON".

Greetings.
I have begun test flying my C-141.
I set up scrape points on the wingtips,
the back and the locations for the retracted
gear.
When I takeoff and rotate too early
the back hits the runway and I go back level.
Good.

When I turn off crash detection and rotate too
early, My tail sinks into the runway and doesnt
scrape. Whats up with that? How do I make it so
my plane scraps wiht crash detection on if I rotate
too early?

Well see the problem is
it seems backwards.
With crash detection ON,
my tail doesnt strike the ground
on over-rotation. Instead it sinks
into the ground as if there is no tail.

It only strikes with Crash Detection
OFF.

Im still waiting on a responce on how to
get objrects visiable and difrent ground
speeds and altitude above ground level.
The totorials helped me ZERO in useing
preprocess.

Thanks,
