Wow, do they jump out too? Or will we need to wait for FS 2024 for that feature
We need to wait for MSFS2024. I hope new SDK will give us this animation opportunity.
Good day!
We have added a Skydiving Altimeter to the Skydiving model.
This is the final element of the cockpit. Now we will prepare the project for release and fix minor bugs. Altimeter test video will be soon.
A cool scenario for this, with some assumptions.
Adding weight to passenger seats alters the number of jumpers there are. When you reach the safe jumping height you open the sliding doors in the back. One by one the jumpers leave the plane after a small delay, and this also resets the weight & balance in the back as they jump out, but for each individual that leaves the plane, rather than some boolean “are there people in the back or not” kind of thing.
The jumping out bit doesn’t need to be animated, and they can pop out of existence really. Ideally they would be shown clambering out, but that sounds like a lot of work.
I know there are other planes out there that do have things animate that are detached from the plane itself, but I’m not sure if that includes slowly descended jumpers with or without parachutes, or if that is even possible. But chasing them down would be amazing.
Hi Hobanagerik!
At the moment we don’t plan to do something else. Now the main task to prepare release. Also we want to see new/updated SDK from MSFS2024.
ALTIMASTER from Alti-2 Skydiving Altimeter Skydivers Test (long video).
P.S. Unfortunately, there is no joystick at the moment, so a High Fidelity Flight Model and custom engine code is all that is needed.
The marketplace airport SBGV Governador Valdares has hang gliders floating about and slowly floating down so yes the capability is already in the sim.
Is is worth the effort considering people will likely only look at it once and maybe take a screenshot? Probably not .
Other owners could see it though, which would be pretty cool. But I agree, it’s attention for the long term would be dwindling. But having their numbers reduce, and affect the load of the aircraft would be more important than the visual representation.
Adding the skydiving altimeter is a really nice touch in terms of authenticity
Hi Buteo! Good idea. We will add more options after release!
Good day to All! We are OK!!!
It’s awfull quite on the Porter front. Any news??
