Re: Crop duster mod

While I'm in limbo it is still being worked on. I had some time to sort out some of the annoyances while I come to grips with full integration into FS19. the fillunit indexing is sorted so the mod shows them in the store and the HUD and uses them properly, the weight is added and removed as used so there will be say a different power requirement for empty vs loaded. I added it into crop protection category so it's easier to find. Also implemented swapping rotor mesh on the fly depending on spin state, so there will be blurred rotors and props as well.
As you can see I'm in it for the long haul, helicopters was just a side project for me the aircraft is the finish line. I would like to see it function for solid fertilizer spreading and seeding. The filling bin and some models I made used with some other mods allows for actual physical actions to drive up to and dynamically fill the A/C hopper from the loader as in real life. I enjoy interactivity so there is always updates to clickable parts for tinkering.
Then a pump to fill liquid products with flexible hoses attachable to the aircraft......etc etc until a sweet blend of farmflying sim is born.

I have to re write all the full 3 axis translation from scratch so no fresh update for a while BUT

this gives me an opportunity to whip up something for fixed wing so I can hopefully get it off the ground before the new year and hopefully give you guys an update.

let me know your thoughts opinions this would be the time to really take this concept to fruition.

I see so it's a side project but to tell the truth I'm more interested in the Kamov. Due to map sizes the heli might fit better FS, also the field sizes are more to a heli than to an airplane. Also I'm sure it's in connection with my childhood as well as I have seen a lot of Kamov but not really an AN-2 in agronomy - maybe only for the mosquitos

I will use the latest one still we got our Christmas present :) what I really miss now are the axis to work properly, as it goes with controller forward/backward fine, and rotate around it's vertical axis, but missing the left and right which makes my landings hard :)

thanks for your work on this

Well then I feel like you missed out on a huge part with the An-2 or the M-18 Dromader. The kamov even though very agile, was very under powered and only a small timer with 600 compared to the 1500 - 2200 kilos of product in the aircraft.

As for now all following updates will be posted on YouTube so if you guys want to follow along you're more than welcome.

Long silence around here ....
Life has dealt out sum crappy cards lately so only been touching up the kamov but she's been getting lots of updates and upgrades as we struggle together in the engine. got the rotors swapping from bending down to up (no bones yet but thinking about it) and finally the rotor dust is working as well. With FS22 in sight it would be nice to get all this sorted out.
Takes nothing but time...
