How to use the Acceleration Carriers with other planes.
« on: November 25, 2007, 03:10:10 pm »
As you can see in this topic from Irissimulations forum:
http://irissimulations.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?t=38&sid=40609cfa9b26a5942b717efe3dbe8d6c
It is possible to use the Acceleration Carriers with other planes, "Dlink" post there how to make Iris F-14 and F-4 to work in Acceleration Carriers:

" To use the Acceleration Carriers with the IRIS aircraft , put this at the end of the aircraft.cfg

[launch_assistance]
launch_bar_pivot=21.6, 0.00, -3.75
launch_bar_lug=28.63, 0.00, -5.40

These numbers relate to the contact points for the F-14.

[launch_assistance]
launch_bar_pivot=21.6, 0.00, -3.8
launch_bar_lug=25.6, 0.00, -4.8

This one is for the F4 Phantom "

I try it and it works.
I try to register to the forum to ask him how he knows what numbers to add to each plane but for some reason i can't register to their forum, so do anyone knows the "secret"? For example what numbers should i add to Aerialfoundry's F-18, how can i know the contact points?
Thank you.

The aircraft.cfg file normally has contact points in it. Just look for the set that looks like the front wheel and start with those coordinates for both the launch_bar_pivot and the launch_bar_lug.

Yeah, and if you go up to their main page and click on their Forums link, it said that there were "No Forums on this board".

I wondered if you had to register as a user before you could see them (but I notice GR27 said he couldn't register either).

Strange.
