Good evening, Just wanted to post something I came accross while trying out the arma3diag.exe Don't know how to fix this, but I tried checking for anormal forces acting on the airplane that could explain the fact that it is moving forwards. Arma3diag forces on plane Seems some force is acting sideways on the airplane towards the right side...? It is blue and says "T:(succesion of numbers)" Anyone got a clue what it might be? Also, it gives rpm values, but engine is off..?

So the distance between the two points that make the damper axis influences the damper itself? Interesing... didn't know that! I'm turning into a vehicle modder monster then! :D While trying to get a Churchill tank to work, it would flip over, slip sideways, suddenly be catapulted somewhere... bloody PhysX! Will continue to try things randomly, because I have no clue to what is going on. longitudinalStiffnessPerUnitGravity is the only parameter that seems to change something significantly! Thank you both for your time and answers!

Thank you both for your answers. This is my physX part at the moment: class Wheels { class Wheel_1 { boneName = "Wheel_1"; steering = 1; side = "left"; center = "Wheel_1_center"; boundary = "Wheel_1_rim"; width = 0.25; ///wheel width (not radius!) mass = 32; ///wheel mass MOI = 0.5; ///0.5 * wheelMass * wheel radius * 2?

Maybe something to do with the memory LOD? Is this correct?

This is a nightmare, everything works perfectly fine WITHOUT physX.cfg But it's not the same without it, right? :D

Hey mate, When you mean the stiffness are you referring to latStiffX/Y and longitudinalStiffnessPerUnitGravity? Nothing seems to change much when I alter values for latstiffX/Y. I have seen a graph on the wiki, and it seems that 3/18 should be fine (same as samples' airplane model) However, when I change longitudinalStiffnessPerUnitGravity from 600 (rear wheel) or 1000 (front two wheels) to 0, the plane no longer moves forwards with the engine off. When I put engine on and increase throttle, it does move forwards, but jumping from one side to the other (damaging gear). I have tried increasing longitudinalStiffnessPerUnitGravity too, but to no effect. I don't really understand this value, only that it "affects" acceleration and brake force of the vehicle. If I give it a value over 0, it just does the same as on post number 1. Thanks for your time!

Good evening, I have been trying to implement physX into my custom airplane, but something is clearly wrong. Not sure if it is a common mistake, so for the time being I'll show you a video of my problem. Whenever I start a game with the airplane, either Editor or Virtual Arsenal, the plane starts moving forwards on it's own accord, with the engine Off. The thing is, the door and cabin close, and the wheels do rotate, so it's not like the model is just "slipping". Here's the vid: https://youtu.be/NcIdnuizh_Q Not sure if it's some basic command I've missed or what but it's driving me crazy. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time!

Will try this, thanks!

Thanks for your answer! That includes front/rear sprokets? Even wheels not touching ground? (Different sized wheels)

Good afternoon! I have been having quite a few issues with my custom tank's physX. I'm really not sure how to describe it, so here's two videos so you can see what it does. At first the wheels would sink into the ground, then they were all above ground but the tank seemed to be floating over the wheels, which were stuck to the ground (so it was functional, but tank was on sort of invisible stretchers to the wheels) speed has never gone over 14km/h. Tank1 EDIT: Forgot to mention, if I come out of the tank, it starts sliding sideways, as shown in the next video: Tank2 So there are 13 wheels on each side, but PhysX only supports 10 per side. So from wheels 3 to 11, they are touching ground. Those are the specified in the config "wheels" physX part with their podkolo PLUS the rear wheels, as said in samples "must be present anyway" Tweaking around the sprungmass, springstrengh..etc I found out I had wrong values. Now that they are supposedly correct, the tank just bobs from one side to the other... and when you accelerate, the nose pulls down and bottom pulls up, rather like it would do while BREAKING..? While on the other hand, the nose pulls up and bottom down when breaking... weird. Anyway, here are some screens of the model LODs, and wheel-relevant config info / model.cfg Resolution LOD memory LOD LandContact LOD Geometry LOD GeomPhysX LOD Config: simulation = "tankX"; maxSpeed=24; normalSpeedForwardCoef = 0.4; changeGearMinEffectivity[] = {0.5,0.15,0.95,0.95,0.95,0.95,0.95,0.95,0.95,0.95,0.95,0.95,0.9,0.9,0.9,0.9,0.9}; torqueCurve[] = {{"(0/0)"},{"(0.14/0.58)"},{"(0.29/0.81)"},{"(0.43/0.94)"},{"(0.57/1)"},{"(0.71/0.98)"},{"(0.86/0.87)"},{"(1/0.03)"}}; thrustDelay = 1; /// how much time does it take to get the full thrust (default 1), used to reduce initial wheel slipping clutchStrength = 180.0; fuelCapacity = 1885; brakeIdleSpeed = 1; /// speed in m/s below which braking is applied latency = 0.1; tankTurnForce = 458700; /// Random magic number, expected to be something like 11 x mass of vehicle /// Gearbox and transmission idleRpm = 700; // RPM at which the engine idles. redRpm = 2640; // RPM at which the engine redlines. engineLosses = 25; // power losses on the engine's crank-shaft (before the gearbox) in Nm.

ok SOLVED. What seemed to solve it was changing the mesh to a rectangle, rather than a circle and remake the texture to fit it. Thanks for your help anyway x3kj

Thanks for your response. I have scaled the mesh up and down to no effect. It still seems like it is zoomed in or something. I wonder, do the optics need to be square or something of the sort?

Good day, I have got a little problem with a custom optic I am trying to get ingame for a mod I am working on. The optic has a round .p3d model with a texture applied correctly. However, ingame, it works as if it were magnified like x10..? Here some screens and how I defined the optics in the config: This is what it should look like: http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x230/ArTaNiSS_2007/besaOptic_zpsayfbzduc.jpg This is what you see: http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x230/ArTaNiSS_2007/20170113105129_1_zpsuqkrzvd6.jpg And this is the UV layout in O.B: http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x230/ArTaNiSS_2007/Sin ttulo-1_zpsmww2t4q3.jpg Here the config: class RCWSOptics; class crusader_commander_optics { class Wide: RCWSOptics { initFov="(36 / 120)"; minFov="(36 / 120)"; maxFov="(36 / 120)"; visionMode[]= { "Normal" }; //thermalMode[]={2,3}; gunnerOpticsModel="\7Y_weapons\optics\crusader_commander.p3d"; gunnerOpticsEffect[]={}; }; class Medium: Wide { initFov="(150 * 0.05625 / 120)"; minFov="(150 * 0.05625 / 120)"; maxFov="(150 * 0.05625 / 120)"; }; class Narrow: Medium { initFov="(60 * 0.05625 / 120)"; minFov="(60 * 0.05625 / 120)"; maxFov="(60 * 0.05625 / 120)"; }; }; Then in the cfgVehicle I have this: discreteDistance[]={10,50,100,150,200,300,500,750}; discreteDistanceInitIndex=2; gunnerOpticsModel="\7Y_weapons\optics\crusader_commander"; gunnerOutOpticsModel=""; gunnerOpticsEffect[]={}; showgunneroptics = 1; gunnerAction="passenger_generic01_foldhands"; //mbt2_slot2a_in gunnerInAction="passenger_generic01_foldhands"; //passenger_low01, passenger_generic01_leanleft, passenger_generic01_foldhands gunnerForceOptics = 1; gunnerCanSee = 31; class OpticsIn { class Main { useModelOptics = 1; gunnerOpticsModel = "\7Y_weapons\optics\crusader_commander"; gunnerOpticsEffect[] = {"TankGunnerOptics2","OpticsBlur1","OpticsCHAbera1"}; initAngleX = 0; minAngleX = -100; maxAngleX = 100; initAngleY = 0; minAngleY = -360; maxAngleY = 360; initFov = 0.4; minFov = 0.1; maxFov = 0.9; memoryPointGunnerOptics = "usti Hlavne3"; visionMode[] = {"Normal"}; opticsFlare = 1; opticsDisablePeripherialVision = 1; cameraDir = ""; }; }; class ViewOptics { initAngleX = 0; minAngleX = -70; //-5 maxAngleX = 60; //45 initAngleY = 0; //0 minAngleY = -20; //-20 maxAngleY = 40; //20 initFov = 0.4; minFov = 0.1; maxFov = 0.9; visionMode[]= {"Normal"}; }; class ViewGunner { initAngleX = 0; minAngleX = -100; maxAngleX = 50; initAngleY = 0; minAngleY = -20; maxAngleY = 20; initFov = 0.4; minFov = 0.1; maxFov = 0.9; visionMode[]= {"Normal"}; //thermalMode[]={4,5}; }; I have searched on the forums for anything related with optics, however the nearest I got to my problem was with a post about some Sanchez, but no joy in the end. I have tweaked the Fov values some times, but the only thing I achieve is getting in more/less zoom, without actually changeing the actual size of the optic. Thanks in advance for your time, Loki.

Cheers mate! Spity is coming along well. I'm adding some stuff to it. Just need to get the rpm gauge working (rpms go to 100% with just engine ON) and another minor issues! Thanks for your help!

Good day! I have finaly made it work. The solution was: make new GEO and PhysX LODs :lol: I don't know what was wrong, but it was definitly there. Now the airplane takes off, can retract and open gear.. Thanks for your help, and I hope we can see a Supermarine Spitfire ingame sometime soon! Thanks again.

Good evening! Well, I have found two non convexities on the Geometry LOD. Weird, as they definitely haven't shown up before... I have closed them and now, the plane still bobs from one side to another before takeoff. I disabled damage, and once it takes off (it takes very long for it to gain enough speed) once in the air it DOES give the option to retract the gear! So it must have something to do with the gear getting damaged. Maybe this is an extremely idiotic question, but am I supposed to add some sort of material to the wheels in the geo LOD or set a wheel friction coef? Because if that is the case, I've done nothing of the sort.

Hehe no, each wheel weighs 26'66kg´. Total weight is 2.700kg I will try that, let's see if the wheels don't go wild making them convex. Thanks
