Released [0.21+] Antonov AN-12B (Fixed Lua Error!)

Does anyone know if he will ever update it?

 

i miss this mod

 

dosent work how fly it??????????

 

Hey, there's another way to have fun with a broken plane mod: drop it from a high altitude and let it fly itself. Since aerodynamics are part of this game's physics engine, the wings still generate lift even if all the control surfaces are broken.

I think the minimum height I got it to where it could just scrape the ground at the vertex of its fall was around 4800 feet. Then, I put a car in the cargo hold and managed to drive out of the plane as it crashed after completing it's parabolic arc and stalling. Somehow, the car sustained minimal damage for being in a literal plane crash. See, who says you can't have fun with broken mods?

 

I wish it still worked

 

Please update your Mod!!! I have reeinstalled Beamng. Its says "This is often caused by broken Mods". I cant fly the plane!

 

Hello Everyone! I got the mod working on BeamNG.drive v0.21. I will first state off that I'm in no way a coder or programmer, but I do know where to look in the logs when things go wrong.

In the current state, the Log spits this out when the mod loads:

Now knowing where to first look (line 191 in the groundeffect.lua) I went into the an12.zip folder and from there went to /vehicles/an12/lua/controller/ and double clicked on the groundeffect.lua script.

I modified the code so instead of it saying this:

for _,group in pairs(groups) do
if group.lastRaycastResult then
local verticalAdjustment = getVA(upDir)
local raycastFac = ((group.effectiveRange - group.lastRaycastDistance) / group.effectiveRange)
local force = group.force * raycastFac * speed * verticalAdjustment

--if pFrameCount == 1000 then
--print("Adding force to group " .. group.name .. " : " .. tostring(force) .. " with vA " .. tostring(verticalAdjustment) .. " with rF " .. tostring(raycastFac))
--print("rD " .. tostring(group.lastRaycastDistance))
--end

for _,node in pairs(group.nodes) do
local fVec = (upDir * float3(force, force, force))
obj:applyForceVector(node.cid, fVec)
end
end
end

it said this (just practically commenting out line 190-192)

for _,group in pairs(groups) do
if group.lastRaycastResult then
local verticalAdjustment = getVA(upDir)
local raycastFac = ((group.effectiveRange - group.lastRaycastDistance) / group.effectiveRange)
local force = group.force * raycastFac * speed * verticalAdjustment

--if pFrameCount == 1000 then
--print("Adding force to group " .. group.name .. " : " .. tostring(force) .. " with vA " .. tostring(verticalAdjustment) .. " with rF " .. tostring(raycastFac))
--print("rD " .. tostring(group.lastRaycastDistance))
--end

--for _,node in pairs(group.nodes) do
--local fVec = (upDir * float3(force, force, force))
--obj:applyForceVector(node.cid, fVec)
end
end
end

I then saved the file, closed BeamNG, rezipped, relaunched BeamNG, and huzzah, mod now works, at least as far as I can tell. I can turn on/off engines, load cargo, and of course, fly!

In case you don't want to do this, or you don't want to screw something else up, you can just use this file with the modification already made. If there are any lua people out there, that's where the problem is.

 

HOW DO YOU FLY THIS

 

with your mind

 

Throttle up, reach a certain speed and pull the yoke.

 

There's this weird thing called "Human Interface". But im not sure i know much about it.

 

cant wait for the update

 

bro just scroll up

 

Thank you so much for this, I loved this mod so much and it is great that you got it working again

 

THANK YOU! IT WORKS!

 

Your are the best Thanks for reworking this

 

Dude I was so confused why it wasn't working but my beamng was just not updated
Thank you so much, this mod was the reason why I enjoyed this game so much and this made the game better again
