Mini Giles rocks!
 

Rodeo this mini Giles is just awesome! I think I have a new favorite plane for AFP.

So far I added 60 deg on rudder and CG to .5.

Put the rudder propwash at 100.

Voltage per cell 1.5.

Thanks again Rodeo !!! Keep them coming.

If anyone else has some input on this model ... post it here.

Hopefully Maarten will tune in.

Now he was nice enough to do the Mini Edge Hybrid Electric. Thanks RODEO!

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

where can u download this..it is not on his site?

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

Yea! I want that edge! is it on aerofly? or rc-sim?

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

Sorry ... I'm just waiting for the latest update from him. He sent it to me like 11PM German time and I sent him back the updates .... but now it's really late there.

It will be up tomorrow.

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

Hi,

now I'm awake again :D

I will finish the edge today evening after work, and it will be available at www.aeroflypro.com and on my site.

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

The file is up! Go get it.

www.aeroflypro.com/download 3D section.

THANKS RODEO!

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

Maybe I'm missing something, but clicking on the download link gets me:

http://www.aeroflypro.com/.../OMPEdgeHybrid.zip

which is the full-size model. Not that I'm complaining, but that's not what I expected.[:o]

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

Sorry problem fixed.

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

I goofed up a couple parameters. Make these changes.

Rudder: Propwash 100

Elevator: Propwash 50 each side
Elevator: Throw 50 each side

Keep all the rest the same.

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

That file will overwrite the previous version of the fuel powered plane with the same file name as downloaded a few months ago???[X(]

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

i can't get it to work, boy i feel dumb

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

The plane works fine however don't be alarmed because apparently it is the wrong file:eek:. Always read the "read me" file for installation[>:]. I always unzip in a folder outside AFP. Then I copy the extracted folder and paste it on top of the word "Aircraft" in AFP. In my case it says this plane already exists[sm=spinnyeyes.gif]. Probably just a mistake in uploading to the site. Won't do any damage unless you allow it to overwrite a plane you have modified. No biggie because it warns you prior to the overwrite[sm=confused.gif]. Just say no:D. LOL
I have a folder that contains a copy of all my AFP plane files just in case of a little human error[sm=idea.gif].

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

Sorry!!! It's fixed now, my bad. Let me know if it works.

I goofed up a couple parameters. Make these changes.

Rudder: Propwash 100

Elevator: Propwash 50 each side
Elevator: Throw 50 each side

Keep all the rest the same.

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

I just downloaded it a few minutes ago. Workes just fine.
And flies FANTASTIC, and so does the big Hybird
Thanks a bunch
Ron

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

Dion the Edge Flies Great[sm=thumbup.gif]. Where is the Mini-Giles?:)

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

The Mini Giles is at Rodeo's site under AFPD downloads.

I'm totally addicted to this Mini Hybrid now .... it's fun! It's like getting a new plane everyday.

Gonna have to do this will all the OMP planes I guess.

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

Dion....I have it flying in AFP already[X(]. I had to change two values in the beginning of the TMD file to make it appear in AFP. Is this supposed to work in Deluxe only?[sm=pirate.gif]. It performs great!:D

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

I'm sure Rodeo will jump in with the fix and we'll re-upload it tomorrow.

Thanks for the tip.

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

I can email you the number to change to let it work in AFP[sm=bananahead.gif]. Also I have a number that allows smoke on with electrics. Weird but looks good[sm=lol.gif].

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

Hi Bowser,

the mini Giles was done for AFPD, I didn't even test it in AFP. But if it works, even better. I know I have to change the version number.
But if I add smoke by default, I will get a bunch of emails complaining about this unrealistic feature http://www.salacious.de/Smiliez/Crazy/crazybcyclop.gif


Dion, yes let's try to 'shrink some more OMP planes to mini size. It must look very funny to have a slowflyer with such a thick wing profile.

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

Hi Rodeo...All work great in AFP using the method you mention and I would never publish any "how to" information between AFP and Deluxe without permission. I have the smoke on a switch and we both know what number I changed to get that:). I only tried it because I noticed you left the muffler on the electric OMP Edge[sm=idea.gif]. I think they fly better than the engine versions:D.

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

Hi Bowser,

you are absolutely right.
Without access to the 3D model, I could not change the geometry but did the scaling on the obj and tmd file. Some more will follow soon I guess ;)

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

Rodeo, you can shrink them all, no problem.

They are as much fun to fly as their larger counterparts. We'll just call the motors electric that look like glow! :D

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

Hi Rodeo...Keep them coming[sm=thumbup.gif]. Thank You for all your time and hard work. I appreciate all your free stuff and it always works great[sm=idea.gif].

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

Hi Dion...As you know I am flying the mini Giles in AFP[X(]. The only change that I have made to the plane is to move the CG back to (minus)-0.2.
Now anyone could fly it to a very high hover[sm=tongue.gif]. Then add left or right aileron. Work the throttle and the plane will back down to the ground while torque rolling. Works equally well rolling in either direction. Add throttle for perfect climbing torque rolls. The only change I would make would be to reduce inertia when flipping with full elevator because it tends to over rotate when the elevator is released. I don't know how to change that but I don't give up easily[sm=idea.gif]. I love this little plane. Obsessed with a little Giles:D.

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

I have to agree with everyone here Rodeo. The minis rock! They deprived me from alot of well needed sleep this weekend. Keep them coming I like em alot! I think it'll be awesome if you could do all the OMP planes in minis. :)

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

He did it again. Does anyone else feel like it's Christmas every day? :D:D

The Yak-55 SP Mini.

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

Is it hard too see the small versions when flying? Is there a best field to use to see em better. I still have not been able to download one yet. I think my puter is doing some of the steps....but I do not know what step to do next? Looks like everthing has to be done in a perfect sequence? I will keep reading and trying. Got to be a easy way. Capt,n

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

The smaller planes are just as easy to see then the big ones because you want to fly them close anyhow. Even far away they are still easy to see.

Also AFP has an autozoom feature.

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

If anyone wants the Mini Yak just email me. There are a couple of updates needed before posting it, but I can email you the file and the parameter changes.

[email protected]

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

OK ... the mini Yak is up at aeroflypro.com/download (3D Forum)

Enjoy! Thanks Rodeo .... again.

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

OK...I got the YAK folder on my desktop. How do I get it in AFPDeluxe? Thanks for the download....wish I could use it. Capt,n

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

Send me the MINI Giles...please. I might get lucky and get it to work. Thanks Capt,n

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

I can't get the Giles mini to work on AFP. I know it was made for AFPDeluxe. I got the OMP Edgemini, the Shock Flyer and the Yak 55mini to work fine on AFP. I was hoping the Giles would work. I have read here there is a secret to make it work. How do I learn that secret?
Thanks
Ron

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

When is someone going to give the answer? Life is short you know!!! Why don,t they make these downloads with data that tells where they should go when they are downloaded. It should not be that hard compared to writing the program itself? Thanks Capt,n

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

All you do is download the whatever.zip file to your desktop.

Then goto the c:\program files\ipacs\aeroflyprodeluxe\aircraft folder.

You will see all the aircraft folders.

Then create a new directory that matches the whatever.tmd file in the zip.

The directory name has to be perfect. If the .tmd is GSYak54.tmd then the folder name has to be GSYak54 and it caps sensitive.

Then drag the contents of the zip into the new folder.

If there is a sound file in the zip it must be place in the sound directory.

That's it!

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

Then goto the c:\program files\ipacs\aeroflyprodeluxe\aircraft folder.
Is this what I got to type in and where?

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

Capn' John your prayers have been answered.

I made an instruction video just for you. :D

[link=http://www.flybuder.com/aeroflyvids/install/index.htm]Click here for video instruction to install AFP(D) aircraft[/link]

RE: Mini Giles rocks!
 

STLPilot: WOW ! I am impressed to say the least!! I had no idea you could make a how to video and place it here. It must have been kinda time consuming? I got a feeling a lot of RC,ers will use it to get airplanes downloaded. Everyone has a favorite. Thanks you Very Much. Capt,n
