From 65ea3564307d96d8508b9a737f60c0613cf55c1e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hector Sanjuan Date: Mon, 14 Aug 2023 00:09:20 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] rotor effects: use rotor radius from rotor_new. Handle twin rotors. I had added a rotor_diameter model option, but the models already define rotors and their diameters using "rotor_new". The only combination that serves to differentiate and count main rotors is that they either have "follow controls" set or they are "tiltable" (ospray). When more than 1 main rotor is identified (v22, ka-25), then torque and Transverse Flow rotor effects are compensated and disabled. --- data/aircrafts/as350.3d | 3 -- data/aircrafts/b47.3d | 3 -- data/aircrafts/ec145.3d | 3 -- data/aircrafts/hh60.3d | 3 -- data/aircrafts/hh65.3d | 3 -- data/aircrafts/ka27.3d | 3 -- data/aircrafts/s64.3d | 3 -- data/aircrafts/uh1d.3d | 3 -- data/aircrafts/v22.3d | 3 -- src/cmdset.c | 11 ------ src/obj.h | 3 -- src/objio.c | 13 ------- src/sfmmodel.h | 1 + src/sfmsimforce.c | 86 +++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------- src/simop.c | 29 +++++++++++++- 15 files changed, 81 insertions(+), 89 deletions(-) diff --git a/data/aircrafts/as350.3d b/data/aircrafts/as350.3d index 7e8b5d5..03aca39 100644 --- a/data/aircrafts/as350.3d +++ b/data/aircrafts/as350.3d @@ -66,9 +66,6 @@ belly_height 1.7 # Length in meters length 10.92 -# Rotor diameter in meters -rotor_diameter 10.8966 - # Gear (down position) to belly height in meters gear_height 0.35 diff --git a/data/aircrafts/b47.3d b/data/aircrafts/b47.3d index 7cd9936..b0dd1cc 100644 --- a/data/aircrafts/b47.3d +++ b/data/aircrafts/b47.3d @@ -60,9 +60,6 @@ belly_height 0.5 # Length in meters length 9.63 -# Rotor diameter in meters -rotor_diameter 9.4742 - # Gear (down position) to belly height in meters gear_height 0.0 diff --git a/data/aircrafts/ec145.3d b/data/aircrafts/ec145.3d index 711a3b6..dac6766 100644 --- a/data/aircrafts/ec145.3d +++ b/data/aircrafts/ec145.3d @@ -55,9 +55,6 @@ belly_height 1.55 # Length, in meters length 13.03 -# Rotor diameter in meters -rotor_diameter 11 - # Gear (down position) to belly height, in meters gear_height 0.44 diff --git a/data/aircrafts/hh60.3d b/data/aircrafts/hh60.3d index 71bc94f..6c75eb7 100644 --- a/data/aircrafts/hh60.3d +++ b/data/aircrafts/hh60.3d @@ -71,9 +71,6 @@ belly_height 2.2 # Length in meters length 19.81 -# Rotor diameter in meters -rotor_diameter 16.4592 - # Gear (down position) to belly height in meters gear_height 0.5 diff --git a/data/aircrafts/hh65.3d b/data/aircrafts/hh65.3d index 4f69cc6..545a0bb 100644 --- a/data/aircrafts/hh65.3d +++ b/data/aircrafts/hh65.3d @@ -69,9 +69,6 @@ belly_height 2.38 # Length in meters length 13.54 -# Rotor diameter in meters -rotor_diameter 11.938 - # Gear (down position) to belly height in meters gear_height 0.35 diff --git a/data/aircrafts/ka27.3d b/data/aircrafts/ka27.3d index 94490cd..dda95e8 100644 --- a/data/aircrafts/ka27.3d +++ b/data/aircrafts/ka27.3d @@ -67,9 +67,6 @@ belly_height 2.35 # Length in meters length 10.49 -# Rotor diameter in meters -rotor_diameter 16.637 - # Gear (down position) to belly height in meters gear_height 0.3 diff --git a/data/aircrafts/s64.3d b/data/aircrafts/s64.3d index 64e3226..d5e855a 100644 --- a/data/aircrafts/s64.3d +++ b/data/aircrafts/s64.3d @@ -61,9 +61,6 @@ belly_height 3.55 # Length in meters length 21.41 -# Rotor diameter in meters -rotor_diameter 21.9456 - # Gear (down position) to belly height in meters gear_height 0.45 diff --git a/data/aircrafts/uh1d.3d b/data/aircrafts/uh1d.3d index 74b3ea9..3493dd0 100644 --- a/data/aircrafts/uh1d.3d +++ b/data/aircrafts/uh1d.3d @@ -60,9 +60,6 @@ belly_height 1.7 # Length in meters length 12.75 -# Rotor diameter in meters -rotor_diameter 14.7828 - # Gear (down position) to belly height in meters gear_height 0.3 diff --git a/data/aircrafts/v22.3d b/data/aircrafts/v22.3d index 827dd0c..d1dda1c 100644 --- a/data/aircrafts/v22.3d +++ b/data/aircrafts/v22.3d @@ -70,9 +70,6 @@ belly_height 2.8 # Length in meters length 17.47 -# Rotor diameter in meters -rotor_diameter 11.5824 - # Wingspan in meters wingspan 15.24 diff --git a/src/cmdset.c b/src/cmdset.c index 3ea688e..c09f7e6 100644 --- a/src/cmdset.c +++ b/src/cmdset.c @@ -579,17 +579,6 @@ void SARCmdSet(SAR_CMD_PROTOTYPE) got_match = True;
