Crop duster mod
Crop duster mod
I am always impressed with what the modders come up with and the ideas and creativity that make the FS series more and more enjoyable everyday. I appreciate all the work and dedication that you put into your craft. Since I am a console player I am quiet sure it will be difficult to do for this platform. But PC's .... Crop dusting airplanes and helicopters for applying fertilizer. Small grass airstrips and hangers , Semi trailers to land the helicopters on to refuel and refill with fert. Now those would be some entertaining videos to watch from the tubers !!! It maybe wont happen in FS 17 but maybe 19. Thanks again modders !!

It would be awesome to be able to do cropdusting.
Re: Crop duster mod
I love flying and flight sims, so this would be awesome!!
But are there any farmers who actually do their own crop dusting? Or do they hire this job out to agricultural aviation companies?
But yeah, if this came to FS, I'd be thrilled!

Re: Crop duster mod
Band in England haven't seen one of those since the 70's any other countries still using them?
Re: Crop duster mod
USA, Canada, Australia, Russia, a number of eastern bloc countries use them, Central and South American countries. Ive seen one aswell
Re: Crop duster mod
Every summer in the upper midwest, fertilizer, herbicide, pesticide and also used for seeding cover crops in standing cash crops.
Re: Crop duster mod
Just want to add that they still use them here in the southern usa as well. We average between 60 to 70 inches of rainfall a year in my area and they are very useful to get chemicals in the fields when it is too wet for tractors or sprayers. Think it would be neat if you could hire a cropduster in the game, pick which field you want it to spray and watch it come spray the field. Maybe an idea for fs 19.

Re: Crop duster mod
You know, I haven't tried this yet but I think crop dusting is already here

Re: Crop duster mod
Well I searched for a duster mod and came here. Are these static models zippyo? What are the issues with developing a flyable plane for FS19? I would love a duster with a working GPS light bar (which could also be used on farm vehicles).
Done zero development in FS, however real world pilot/aerospace engineer who has done mods for flight simulators, I have some LUA and C++ backround. Can anyone give a basic concept of what would be involved in getting a plane flying around FS19? Preferably pilotable and automated. I have the time to look into it. I also get bored spraying my fields 3 times a day with a tractor :0)

Re: Crop duster mod
greetings chainsaw_sally...
I ended up here the same way. FS17 had a Kamov Ka-26working as a sprayer and fertilizer spreader based on a levitator script. along the idea of the noHUD flying around in game but with some simulated inertial translation. no aerodynamics here...I grew up working on and flying with these 1000 HP monsters so I just want them in the game for function and nostalgia but i know a lot of people would catch on quick and it would still be a legitimate way to care for your fields and crops (perhaps a little bigger than the standard maps).
So the models are NOT static, driveable and fillable I plan on making them fully functional on ground until an airborne script comes along, there is a lot of moving animated parts.
also been building aircraft for fsx and prior titles so i would love to swap moving parts based on condition eg prop still prop slow prop spin. So as the only other person showing interest in this matter I welcome you to the topic of Aerial crop services in FS19. I'm gonna dig up the Kamov and the script if you are interested in having a look. can't see it be all that bad but as a one man band all other aspects of the mod production are taxing my brain plenty for now
cheers

Re: Crop duster mod
Thanks for the welcome zip and for getting back to me. Will take a good look at the script. I need to get up to speed with modding in FS19 but have researched already and have plenty of source material to start. I'm interested in doing an Air Tractor and Pawnee. I guess the ideal situation is a functioning script as a sort of 'fake' flight model, ideally where we can enter in the performance data for different aircraft and get different models with different characteristics flying reasonably realistically. I think I caught on YouTube that someone has the FS17 Kamov Ka-26 working in an FS19 map, I'll see if I can chase that up and get in touch with them.
