78 mph. make it 80 for v0, 95mph for v1, 105 short final, 95 mph touchdown. best climb 135. ;-)

This is the behaviour we did hope and see from at least ONE of the users ;D Well done Buddy ! Go on googling ;-) You might not be that far... :

There is definitely nothing wrong with your comments, which are perfectly honest, i felt not offended at all. I just wanted to explain why such a choice was done (and don't forget I'm french, my english is crappy so you may read intentions in my sentences that I didn't intended to put into them). Back to the subject ! Yes, the exterior lacks a little bit for polys and texture spatial definition, Khamsin is the first to complain, but I "obliged" him to sacrifice this so that I can use the saved resources for other things. Well, frankly, here we're splitting hairs : I guess it's not that bad. It's even very good. It could actually be even much better, but I don't agree with the cpu/gpu cost of that. Khamsin would, without any doubt, but, my godness ! I succeeded in stopping him killing my metbook, don't go and tell him his right, NOW! : The plane is so complex : it is a compromise... I hope you'll enjoy her anyway. You sure will. And again, there is no offense because you mentionned she's not perfect. She's not. But I really, in all non-modesty, think that Khamsin and I made her one of the very-best plane up to now ;D Knowing we still can improve is, somehow, quite rewarding! Friendly Arnaud

Yes, that's the beauty of the thing : you will not overtorque the prop if you decide not not be in a hurry. I mean : cut the throttles and climb up very slighty... smoke a cigarette... high rpm.... have a coffee.... lock rpm and level your flight. See what I mean? everything is about anticipation, here. She is so heavy... 2 hours to get to 35000 at cruise speed, 30mn to slow down, an other hour to get back to sea level...

In a sense, you're right. Nonetheless, this is definitely not true about the interior, only for exterior, as the number of textures had to be reduced to a minimum. With default "A" view, exterior should appera just fine - it's not intended to come too close. Interior is, I guess, not lacking in visual graphics, so that's not what you're concerned about. Anyway, why this choice? Because it's the one plane ANYONE can fly with FPS confort, and this was part of our desiderata. We do planes, very nice planes I dare say, and planes for everybody, not only for those who have the luck to have a nice computer and the money to buy planes. Going with a high poly model is simply redoing the whole stuff... for free? Well... I understand your concern, but it's just not what the plane is intended for...

Ok, glad you enjoy her ;D Now try and do the same... without the engine catching fire! ;-)

1) Check-list, block1, line1, item1 : "set the brake primer". There is no braking other wise. At all. With the brake primer fully pushed, it will brake ! much too strongly, but it will ;-) Set it 50% if you're unsure. 2) Try and do it the other way round, it'll go much better! - Cut throttles - engage HIGH RPM - disengage automatic pitch -(il needed engage a soft climb, 250 or 300ft/mn) you should loose 5/10mph/mn.

I guess i have been repeating "rtfm" with all english words, sentences, vocabulary I now, for weeks now :-) better late than sorry! ;D

Huge ? why such an understatement ??? ;D the exact world should be...mmm....HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE ! ;D

it "blasts" at 95kt ;D but surely we are quite proud of the flying turtle. Hope you'll enjoy her !
