Detailed Description

DtFixedWingActuatorDescriptor, a descriptor for the DtFixedWingActuatorComponent component.

DtFixedWingActuatorDescriptor is a kind of DtActuatorComponentDescriptor that has additional information needed for providing parameters to the kinematics-based fixed wing model (DtFixedWingActuatorComponent).

Member Data Documentation

DtRwReal DtFixedWingActuatorDescriptor::myMaxThrustAcceleration

protected

Parameter Name: max-thrust-acceleration
Parameter Description: The maximum acceleration in the direction of thrust (assumed down the X axis, the nose).

Parameter Default Value: 20.
Parameter Units: meters/second/second

DtRwBoolean DtFixedWingActuatorDescriptor::myCheckTerrain

protected

Parameter Name: terrain-check
Parameter Description: If terrain-check is False, entity ignores the terrain.

It could appear to fly below ground. However, when terrain-check is set to False, VR-Forces does not have to check ground points, so performance may improve. When terrain-check is True, if a rotary-wing or fixed-wing entity approaches a ground point at three meters per second or less, it lands. If it approaches the ground at a greater speed, it crashes. Parameter Default Value: True

DtRwReal DtFixedWingActuatorDescriptor::myDragCoefficient

protected

Parameter Name: drag-coefficient
Parameter Description: This is amount of drag associated with this entity.

Parameter Default Value: 0.03
