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.
i have the Kamov happily running ready for pesticide in FS19 along with my PZL but only on ground. The levitation would be one of the final hurdles. because u can only reasonably pretend flying i think as the scrip stands now its suited for rotary wing. fixed wing looks awkward with no roll and vertical lift. but as i fly it in FS17 as well it feels quite amazing for helicopters (based on real even if faded memories)

Loving the enthusiasm general but if u read through the firs page its clear there is nothing to release ... hence the discussion. If anything the script could get a healthy dose of update from the people of the modding community to get it functional in FS19. Then the script remains in public domain for all to use. Something like simpleIC global script. maybe we should touch base with him, seems he's quite home in LUA 5+

during the loading process the engine will throw these errors
2020-03-05 09:21 Error: Vehicle type 'Ka26.ka26' has unknown specialization 'Ka26.LevitatorSprayer'!
2020-03-05 09:21 Error: Vehicle type 'Ka26.ka26' has unknown specialization 'Ka26.Levitator_Ka26'!
Then digging down in the magical world (or perhaps voodoo) of tables ad infinitum I see that the engine does fetch a lot of the levitation functions from the lua. with my vague understanding in hand I'd say thats promising....

my few cents...
so the functions in the script are valid but the specializations would have to be registered anew?
been looking at modelleicher's simpleIC implementation which registers the spec in a separate lua.
I thought modelling animating texturing mapmaking would be the end of the road but I feel like I'm standing at the foot of Mt. Everest right now looking up not even seeing the top.
Cheers

Interesting, we definitely need someone to get the levitation script up and running in FS19. I feel I would be more useful at getting some realistic movement into the aircraft, bank/roll/pitch, secondary control effects, working on performance data etc. Being so new to FS modding, the inner workings of how flight was possible in FS are still very much voodoo to me.
Just to keep everyone in the loop, someone posted up a crop duster was needed in FS19 on Reddit. Been contributing with some of my ideas and brainstorming with others, so as not to repeat it all here, this is a link to the thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/farmingsimulat ... _the_game/
zip, trying to catch up a bit. Are the errors an indication that custom specialization folders are missing or the paths are wrong, or formatted wrong? From my reading there are specializations that are in the game that can be called, or one can create a custom specialization. From the naming above these would seem to be custom specializations.
I fired up the remote debugger and it makes getting stuff out of the engine far easier to access. but as of now the script fires all over the place i guess because of the re classing of a heap of stuff from fs17 to fs19
im gonna need help with why
function LevitatorSprayer:onLoad(savegame)
self.isSelectable = true;
self.toggleLevitatorSprayer = SpecializationUtil.callSpecializationsFunction("toggleLevitatorSprayer");
self.LevitatorSprayer = {};
-- local spec = self.spec_levitatorSprayer;
local name = getXMLString(self.xmlFile, "vehicle.storeData.name");
if name == nil then name = getXMLString(self.xmlFile, "vehicle.storeData.name.en"); end;
if name == nil then name = getXMLString(self.xmlFile, "vehicle.storeData.name.de"); end;
if name == nil then name = getXMLString(self.xmlFile, "vehicle.storeData.name.es"); end;
if name == nil then name = getXMLString(self.xmlFile, "vehicle.storeData.name.fr"); end;
if name == nil then name = getXMLString(self.xmlFile, "vehicle.storeData.name.pt"); end;
if name == nil then name = getXMLString(self.xmlFile, "vehicle.storeData.name.ru"); end;
if name == nil then name = "UnknownVehicle"; end;
self.lastDigitalSide = 0;
self.yLV = 0;
self.workAreaPositions = {};
for k,c in pairs (self.workAreas) do <=========================ON THIS LINE table nil PLEASE lemme know why or how to fix
local xs,ys,zs = getWorldTranslation(workArea.start);
local xw,yw,zw = getWorldTranslation(workArea.width);
local xh,yh,zh = getWorldTranslation(workArea.height);
local cap = {};
cap.start = {xs,ys,zs};
cap.width = {xw,yw,zw};
cap.height = {xh,yh,zh};
table.insert(self.workAreaPositions, cap);
end;
Any progress zip? I've done my reading on modding in FS. Now on a LUA refresh, after that I can start to dig into the FS19 engine a bit more (why do I do these things?? :0) )
Was wondering what you want ideally for the models to do?
Reading around community posts, a large proportion would be happy with a duster they could call up to spray a field (rather than flying it themselves). This could all be done with splines, perhaps a system like courseplay where new fields could be added by the player. I think but have not checked that is how the duster worked in FS17, but it was built directly into a mod map. I think I would like to see a mod working with the vanilla in game maps, even though they are small to have an aircraft flying around in, as well as larger mod maps.
I would still like to see something actually flyable. Well more than that, a complete aerial ag business where it is possible to add new fields to spray by manually adding them to a GPS system. A ground base with an airstrip and filling station etc.
So my concept goes like this, there is a functional GPS system available to the aircraft. The plane has a GPS light bar for field work and navigation to a given field if flown manually. New GPS data could be added either in flight (recce new field) or by the player on the ground (no manual flight required).
What do you think? It all seems doable one way or another.
Been buried in the debugger the mod now loads with the script fine and the spec is live on the Kamov. Still few items to tidy up in scripting differences from old FS17 but I'm really set on getting it up and running within short time. Since I'm not a programmer or scripter but more of a practical kinda guy (the debugger is a must have get it if you haven't), it will take some mental muscle
As for the models ... not very important for now ... the script looks for workAreas params in xml and thats it
add to any model as long as u set up source lua in modesc and add the spec.......NOT a global realization as u describe tho
based on my take the helicopter is first now because levitating is not flying and it looks acceptable on it, with planes it'll be a whole new rewrite of at least the updateMovement function and thensome.
the lightbar connected to the GPS would all have to be scratch made scripts ... as u can see only up to you as myself, how deep down the rabbit hole you go.Irrelevant of model u could test your GPS/Lightbar script on a pickup or tractor before levitation to get it sorted first.
Nevertheless I like all ideas a lot hope u see the enormous depth of it all
Made an 8x8 km map and I think it would be an ideal test bed for the Kamov.
Hoping it goes beyond us all but small steps first
Progress is SWEET the Kamov became airborne in FS19 for the first time (for me anyways) today and is surely put a smile on my grumpy mug.
Still some ways to get translation working the way I'd like but still it FLIES!
The mouse presses are read by scrpit ok and it will Climb and Descend which is a welcome new tidbit in the Farming arsenal. It drives and steers on ground but for now forward velocity is gained on ground only and in the air this momentum decays to 0 so I still got a bit to gobble up into my poor brain
Can't believe some far more capable scripters have not tore this script to its bits by now... there is so much possible
A Big CHEERS to all (my beer supply suffers tremendously)
Too drunk to fall asleep i could not leave it alone......
Happy to announce the flying part is sorted to the point of taxi takeoff hover climb descend and now controlled flight. No roll only yaw for the turns is awful but it has pitch forward and backward attitude during translation so maybe i can hack something up for that as well later. more and more its evident that this script was never meant to be attached to fixed wing...
BUT HEY IT FINALLY BRINGS FLYING BACK TO Farming Simulator!!!!
well its 2am I'm off to think up more ways to violate my brain
This is great news zip! Getting the planes flying how they should is where I can really contribute. Having the levitator script up and running in FS19 will be a enormous help. Though I understand it was never meant for fixed wing, it is going to be much easier to develop a fixed wing script from scratch, with some sort of reference (even if it is just knowing the shortcomings), than with nothing at all.
Zip can you anyone else confirm that FS19 is still on LUA 5.1 not a later version? Will be setting up my LUA environment today and going back to school :0)
