WIP: JA37 Viggen

At the end of the video, during final approach, the g-meter shows a constant 2G load factor, I would suspect a problem with the scale…

Correct, both the AOA and G-scale have a problem, showing a too big number. Qawa would discuss it with other 3D pit devs, to find a solution.

yes TOPOLO… I’ve problem with XDOF’s… dont know about to use these solutions:
1)- use the F16 instrument dial graphic, then apply a rotate dof
2)- use the Viggen instrument dial graphic, then apply an xrotate dof, as I’ve made… but it’s the hard part for mewould like to understand how Xdof works before entering the 3dworld… my approach have limits for sure !!!
seems XDOF “setting” have different reactions related the number I use… wrong ? … so I can’t have a unique approach for each Xdof … a lot of in&out runs between 3dworld and 3dsmax for to check the “”“right”“” setting (the AOA tape it’s hard to change into a needle in the dial)

XDOF gives you quite a bit of flexibility.
Multiplier = Set to “1” for same action as regular rotate DOF. Set to “2” and DOF works twice as fast and moves twice as far. Set to “.5” and DOF works half as fast and half as far.
Check Limits = if checked and min/max values are set, then code will force travel within parameters. For example, min = 20 and max = 90. DOF will not begin rotation until regular DOF completes 20 degrees and will stop when it hits 90 degrees. Usually you have to check “Pre Rotate DOF” to get the DOF to start where you want it to. Careful with negative min/max values as “Pre Rotate” does not work properly then. The “Multiplier” affects the min/max values. That is, if your “min = 20” and your “Multiplier = 2”, the XDOF will begin turning at 10 degrees (2 x 10degrees = 20)
Reverse = Changes the direction of the XDOF travel. It is better to actually rotate the DOF and use the regular direction of travel, especially if reversing causes you to enter negative values in the “min/max” or “normalize.”
Normalize = Causes the DOF to travel x degrees in the time regular DOF’s travel 360 degrees. If checked, you enter the number of degrees of travel in the “Multiplier” box. For example, if “Normalize” is checked and the value in “Multiplier = 90.” The DOF will travel 0 to 90 degrees in the same time as a regular DOF travels 0 to 360. Normalizing can let you accomplish many “timed” effects using just one DOF number. Be very careful using min/max values as results are not always what one expects. For example, if “Normalize” is checked and the “Multiplier = 90” and "Min = 20 and “Max = 90,” The XDOF will begin rotating after 20 degrees of travel and will stop moving after 70 degrees. Why? Max = 90 subtract Min = 20 and you get 70 degrees. To get the full 90 degrees, Max should equal 110. (Max = 110 subtract Min = 20 and you get 90).
Pre Rotate DOF = When using Min values less or greater than 0, the “Pre Rotate” moves the DOF back to “0.” If unchecked and the Min = 20, then the DOF will be rotated 20 degrees already to begin with.
Hope this helps.

Hope this helps.
You’ve gave me the “holy bible” of DOF Robert !!! thank you
I’ve somethin to play now
PS: this is when I say “Looking from the shoulders of a giant FalconDev” !

Radar warning existed of 4 lights around the central MFD, which lighted to the direction of the received radar signal.
Like so.
-
Thank Tronald, that’s the RWR in the AJ/SH/SK range.
In the JA37 cockpit, these are the RWR lights (around the central MFD)
Less resolution, but in combination with the info on the moving map a lot more SA.And the AOA / G / VVI readings are much improved. Thanks qawa!

The first picture is from the original JA-37, the one you show are the DI version who was modified for international service
-
You know, if the day comes that we can better model a greater number of avionics realistically, it would be really cool to see these aircraft operating the way they’re supposed too.
…And of course, we will feel terrible for Qawa or whoever else needs to go back and revise the old cockpit models.

meanwile… AOA, G’ and VVI fixed in 3dpit

The picture in the message of Tronald Dump is an AJ37, SH37 or SK37. This is a first generation, year 1980, JA37 cockpit:
monochrome displays, but already a moving map. -

I should have recognised the cockpit. ‘Flown’ it for about 30 minutes. Great experience! The ‘G’-simulator is very immersive.

What a gorgeous Viggen, I cannot wait for it! Thank you for making this, thank you so much!

Today the first (and hopefully not the last) hour of testing by a real life Viggen pilot was done. The basics of the flight model are quite good, but there is some room for improvement. I hope that it can be done within the current flight model.
A quote from KimKiller, who assisted him with the BMS install: “He did some runs against russian bombers at 25000 ft and here he said that it performed very close to the real jet.” That is what you like to hear -
