you could just key it over one frame and it would still pick up the blur, but point taken user added image

Thanks guys. I've been playing with some rather extraordinary setup. Hooked up my joystick to maya (as a motion capture device), wrote few expressions and I'm flying an aeroplane in real time user added image

Here's a little test with a proxy plane: https://kotisivu.mtv3.fi/karppa/temp/blast2.zip

It's not perfect as it lacks some inertia and weight but at least it's a fun way to animate user added image

Developed the system a bit further. Now it's starting to resemble jet physics a bit better imho. What do you think:

<obsolete link removed>

It's a rather complex system. Basically I read joystick axis values from a joystick mocap server app into an expression. Then I do some filtering and scaling to the values and assign the values to the plane rotation and whatnot. The plane is a rigid body object an is affected by gravity, lift force and thrust, which is joystick controlled too. As a visual goodie the ailerons, rudders, thrust blades and elevators move according to the joystick movements too...

You'll get better idea of the manouvers from this one: <obsolete link removed>

For the stats there are immelman, another immelman, aileron roll, split-s and another aileron roll manouvers user added image

Looks much more like the real thing. This is really a great way to do this, I think the results show it also. Nice manuvers there K.

Well, as much as I liked myself that previous animation I'm gonna have to change it pretty radically to fit it with the background I intend to use. Should have planned it better beforehand user added image

Anyway, here's the previous blast rendered: https://kotisivu.mtv3.fi/karppa/temp/fa18_mr_test2.avi
