fg-scenery=C:\Program Files\FlightGear\data\Scenery C:\Program Files\FlightGear\sceneryįgrun is launching the original c172p, obviously there has to be a way to launch the modified aircraft by changing a parameter somewhere.Ĭhange the name of the -set file in the new airplane folder (. fg-root=C:\Program Files\FlightGear\data Displaying the launch parameters from the fgrun launcher shows the following :Ĭ:\Program Files\FlightGear\bin\Win32\fgfs.exe There is one more step needed to make the airplane load into Flight Gear. The experience has been very interesting and rewarding so far, and I look forward to publishing the model.
Listed below is an earlier version of how to change the aircraft, this write up will be replaced soon with an actual run-through. The method used for adding colours to the model at present is Materials only, since this is the easiest to use, and also textures are difficult to apply smoothly to a model, at least in my experience.Ĭhanges planned for the C172 are as follows:Īdd instrument panel with custom instrumentsĬhange the wheels and tires for a better versionīouncing on landing, changing gear damping settingsĬhanging engine power from 160hp to 180 or 200 this is done in real lifeĪdding an experimental glass panel - most probably from an airlinerĮach version will be saved separately after modification to preserve recovery if a model goes wrong after a change.
The versions of Wings and Blender have the required import and export features and Wings runs without crashing, so that version is chosen. The 3d tools used are Blender 2.4 and Wings 3D 1.4, Win32 versions running in WINE on Linux Mint 19.3 Tricia on a 2015 HP 45 laptop. Starting with the Mirage 2000, with some success in changing the tires and wheels in that aircraft, I returned to the Cessna 172 and other aircraft that I had started to modify. New knowledge on how to modify aircraft and how to use the folder structure has revived interest in modifying aircraft.
