VEHICLE TYPE AIRPLANE

Wiki description

Uses linear deflection for lift, no hover, and banking to turn.

Effects

Setting the vehicle type to airplane enables the vehicle system and additionally has the same effect of executing the following:
// very little friction along forward-back axis
llSetVehicleVectorParam( VEHICLE_LINEAR_FRICTION_TIMESCALE, <200, 10, 5> );
// uniform angular friction
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_ANGULAR_FRICTION_TIMESCALE, 20 );
// linear motor
llSetVehicleVectorParam( VEHICLE_LINEAR_MOTOR_DIRECTION, <0, 0, 0> );
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_LINEAR_MOTOR_TIMESCALE, 2 );
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_LINEAR_MOTOR_DECAY_TIMESCALE, 60 );
// agular motor
llSetVehicleVectorParam( VEHICLE_ANGULAR_MOTOR_DIRECTION, <0, 0, 0> );
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_ANGULAR_MOTOR_TIMESCALE, 4 );
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_ANGULAR_MOTOR_DECAY_TIMESCALE, 8 );
// no hover
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_HOVER_HEIGHT, 0 );
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_HOVER_EFFICIENCY, 0.5 );
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_HOVER_TIMESCALE, 1000 );
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_BUOYANCY, 0 );
// linear deflection
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_LINEAR_DEFLECTION_EFFICIENCY, 0.5 );
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_LINEAR_DEFLECTION_TIMESCALE, 0.5 );
// angular deflection
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_ANGULAR_DEFLECTION_EFFICIENCY, 1.0 );
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_ANGULAR_DEFLECTION_TIMESCALE, 2.0 );
// vertical attractor
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_VERTICAL_ATTRACTION_EFFICIENCY, 0.9 );
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_VERTICAL_ATTRACTION_TIMESCALE, 2 );
// banking
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_BANKING_EFFICIENCY, 1 );
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_BANKING_MIX, 0.7 );
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_BANKING_TIMESCALE, 2 );
// default rotation of local frame
llSetVehicleRotationParam( VEHICLE_REFERENCE_FRAME, <0, 0, 0, 1> );
// remove these flags
llRemoveVehicleFlags( VEHICLE_FLAG_NO_DEFLECTION_UP
    | VEHICLE_FLAG_HOVER_WATER_ONLY
    | VEHICLE_FLAG_HOVER_TERRAIN_ONLY
    | VEHICLE_FLAG_HOVER_GLOBAL_HEIGHT
    | VEHICLE_FLAG_HOVER_UP_ONLY
    | VEHICLE_FLAG_LIMIT_MOTOR_UP );
// set these flags
llSetVehicleFlags( VEHICLE_FLAG_LIMIT_ROLL_ONLY );

FlagsDescription
VEHICLE_TYPE_NONE 0 Turns off vehicle support
VEHICLE_TYPE_SLED 1 Simple vehicle that bumps along the ground, and likes to move along its local x-axis
VEHICLE_TYPE_CAR 2 Vehicle that bounces along the ground but needs the motors to be driven from external controls or timer events
VEHICLE_TYPE_BOAT 3 Hovers over water with lots of friction and some angular deflection
VEHICLE_TYPE_AIRPLANE 4 Uses linear deflection for lift, no hover, and banking to turn
VEHICLE_TYPE_BALLOON 5 Hover, and friction, but no deflection
