What Is msmac3D Coordinate Sign Convention?
The Coordinate Sign Convention for Vehicle Dynamics as follows: X forward, Y to the right, Z down (towards the earth as in Positive Gravity) The msmac3D , HVOSM and SMAC programs ALL use the same conventions. When HVOSM was first developed in the late 60s space travel was on the rise so they wanted ...

Flat Spin 360 Kia K5 Stunt msmac3D simulation
Just for fun in response to the Flat Spin 360 Kia K5 Stunt we thought it might be interesting to simulate the real test To quickly create a Simulation of Reality in the event The Universe IS a Simulation! :-) (OK, that's a joke!) For some additional understanding about the stunt Note we have previou...

Re: Flat Spin 360 Stunt. Kia K5 Great Stunt!
Did a quick simulation of a Flat Spin 360 Stunt with msmac3D using a similar vehicle, a little different steer to insure easy 360, and voila! For the video and details on how we set it up please see msmac3D simulation video of Flat Spin 360 Kia K5 Stunt [/size] Flat 360 SImulation SEQ 800x600.png

This is a continuation of my post above on the Flat Spin 360 Stunt Kia K5 Stunt! I Kinda Sorta Figured it out!! Well at least realized an how it could have been easily** done: Use simple launch analysis like the Simple Launch Trajectory calculation below With a range of speeds and ramp angles determ...

Re: Great Stunt! Flat Spin 360 with Kia K5
Taking another look found a little drop ramp section. Might need to investigate and simulate with msmac3D just for fun and to see the reasons for the ramp! We expect it is to provide a lift to insure it doesn't pitch downward to hit the landing ramp Flat 360 Drop Ramp.jpg Here's the stunt again foll...
