Hi 5H1N0B1

I wrote a long post on FG forum on the ejection seat. Did you see it ? http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewto … 30#p179537

You are free to use the script with respect to the GPL.

What would you like to do?

No problem. Have a look at the zip I posted when you got time.

(I was unprecise in the above formulation. I have no problem with the Lockheed prefix, instead what I ment that you change your project/folder name to Lockheed U-2R, for now, see the zip.)

Regards

Just to clarify. My suggestion was not to revert your work! You continue it but rename your project to U-2R, as I already did for you (See zip file above. I changed your version.).

Then I could keep my old version named U-2S. We could continue cooperation and could benefit fom each others development.

To the naming: I'm perfectly aware of the different U-2 versions. And I believe there is no difference in the exterior model of the U-2S and TR-1A, exept probably the small GPS pod !

Be aware that there are not only different U-2 versions but also there is different modular equipment/payload. The nose is changeable and cannot be used as a version reference. (The largest nose type is called ASARS.)

Have a look at this:
U-2S different payload

But the cockpit version you started is clearly the one used on the U-2R.
Yes, the U-2R was then renamed/redesignated to U-2S and the cockpit was changed later. Ah, it's a mess. However I think this would be a clear and easy to understand naming.

U-2R: Old cockpit and old engine, probably no GPS pod.
(Your version as you already did it. I already changed the engine in the above zip file for you.)

U-2S: New (glass) cockpit new engine.
(My old version. Stays under my control. In future enhanced by your improvements, your FDM, the cockpit interior, but
integrated/inserted by me. And in future including a full glass cockpit.)

My goal is not to finish this project, but to make it the best !
Regards

Hello Guys

Please don't take it personally and don't misunderstand me. I still would like to cooperate and I find it good that the U-2 get's pushed further. However after having a closer look there are some things that make it difficult for me to work with your version.

(For example the changed directory structure and the changed names. I think it includes some unneccessary generic stuff and I perfectly understand that this is neccessary when maintaining a lot of different aircrafts. However for me and my version this is not neccessary.)

I will provide you a list with my further suggestions. It was just very late yesterday and I didn't wanted to write it then!

For this project now my suggestion is that you rename your version to U-2R. This would also match the cockpit version you're already working on !
In fact, I did this for you and updated the files. Please see: cem.bplaced.net/Uploads/Lockheed-U-2R_2013-03-16.zip
I updated all the xml files changed the .ac names and also updated the readme. I changed the engine to the J75-P-15W in comments and yasim. I did a quick test and I think it's working fine.
I restored your splash screen, though you would have to change the text to U-2R. No problem I think.

My version would then still be the U-2S.

I hope this is acceptable for you! I'm aware that having two different U-2 versions (regarding directory structure etc...) is not optimal. However this would give me the time and possibility to continue my work on the ejection seat with my version. And also this gives me the time I need to study your modifications and learn a lot from them! I certainly would like to use your modified FDM and the cockpit objects that are still the same on the U-2S glass cockpit. The thrust handler, steering stick etc. (Sorry maybe not the correct english terms) (Of cource referencing you (Patrizio, Emmanuel) as authors.)

I did this before I saw your latest post Patrizio. If you want, I would be really interested in working on a U-2S version with you based on my original work and including the improvements that you already made on it. (And most probably including your new model. Only I require it to be your original work and to be as realistic as possible requiring a reference for each detail. And I'm not as FG experienced as helijah and therefor need more time to realize things.)!

I'll provide you the mentioned list shortly.

Best regards
Cem

Hello guys.
Finally I was able to register to your forum (didn't work before.., I don't know why).

As stated on the FG forum I really appreciate the work that you already have done, especially the FDM and the cockpit.

But after having a closer look I must say that there are some things I'm not perfectly fine with.

Therefor I would somehow like to keep my original version alive! And I think I have an acceptable solution for this in mind.
I'll sleep over this and rethink/test/reply tomorrow.

Best Regards Cem
