The hesitant aeroplane [SOLVED]

[Rosemary A]

Project1.pteI am trying to make an intro slide using a rotating world and a plane flying over a landscape. My problem is that the plane seems to hesitate over the fields before flying off. I can't figure out why or what I am missing.

 It hesitates at KF 2 which is where the plane zooms a little but I can't see what difference that would make.

Thank you for any help solving my problem.

Try removing all MODIFIERS.

Hi Rosemary,

Upload a full project, use a command Create backup in a ZIP from the Main menu > File menu.

I could open your .pte project with missing files. On first glance an animation is smooth in a fullscreen mode.

Probably other members can help you?

Hi,

It is not necessary (I believe ) to have the image files to see what is wrong.

Like Davegee I think all modifiers are useless here and could be deleted. The modifiers are duplicate on the second key frame, and ineffective on the third.

For my part I would even delete the second key frame, but adding for the first key frame, a Y jump Amplitude 15 (for exemple). See my projet.

Thank you Dave, Igor and Jean.  My hesitant plane has stopped hesitating over N. Ireland with Jean-Cyprien's explanation. Thank you all for coming to my aid once again.

HI,

With a Smooth animated speed at key frame 1, the plane will stop at key frame 2 after a slow down.

Even if a accelerated speed was chosen at key frame 1 (or no deceleration),  the plane will stop abruptly at key frame 2 to start again from speed zéro, due to the smooth choiice of speed at key frame 2.

Note that two identical modifers are possible, but why ? Simply, the parameters of only one modifier could be modified.

As the key frame 3 is at the end of the slide, their modifiers are useless

 

Without a key frame in the middle of the flight, the movement will be continuous without jerking of displacement and speed

Thank you Jean-Cyprien. I have learned a lot today and I have just removed the middle KF. My plane does not want to stop mid air anymore over N. Ireland!

Such a pity to miss the Giants Causeway

The plane hesitated over the farmlands of Donemana - my home, so at least the plane had good taste. Perhaps the pilot was wanting to treat the passengers to real beer

In this case he should head for Bavaria

More like Poteen than beer up round there Rosemary

I think she means Guinness?

Rosy.

I can claim no expertise in beers but yes, Poteen brewed in the mountains is supposedly very good.
