Best FS9 freeware aircraft right here?

Keagan, I think the confusion may have been caused by your reference to PPL principles of flight - Principles of flight is a CPL subject. Look here and at the CAA AC 61-1.

Oh would you look at that!

I thought it was an ASL PPL subject. Well we do it at PPL level anyway.

Thanks Brock!

We have Six papers a semester, Four of which consist of CAA syllabus's (syllabi?) and the other two are university degree content. The other two this semester were Aeroscience (which is aeronautical maths and physics which are a pre-runner to Aerodynamics) and Aviation Studies (to give those who dont know much a greater understanding of the wider aviation industry).

interesting..... Could you convert that into dumb speak or i.e how many do ya do for ppl level and how many for cpl level ? and what are they outta interest ? Thanks !


(sorry prob doin a bitta thread derailing but pleaz fill in my curiosity.. )

I just had a go with this aeroplane, very nice VC (even comes with a nav computer!), though the left-turning tendency felt a little strong for a Cessna (based on my cessna experiences...), it feels like a bit of a lurch when full throttle is applied.

If anyone's up for painting this 150 in an NZ scheme, I can provide pics

Try rudder trim Trolly (if 152s have it - I'm not familiar with the type)

Where is this in the VC, or what key assignment is it?

None of the 152's I have ever flown have had a rudder trim. You just learn to 'lean' on the rudder pedals!

As for the FS ones... well I assume you could try modifying the aircraft.cfg or something... But all this leaning to the left, definitely seems to be an issue with controllers.

Try unplugging your joystick and seeing if it still happens using either the keyboard/mouse or another joystick.

Failing that, you may want to lower the sensitivity slightly, and increase the null zone a touch... that may help 'deaden' the neutral position, so that FS does not register as much movement.

Alternatively, you may want to register/buy FSUIPC and use it for your controller calibration rather than using the builtin windows one.

Thanks for the advice Jarred. I tried the first two things that you mentioned but there was no change.

My control sensitivity's are currently this:


What do you reccomend I should have?

so its still happening with mouse and keyboard?

Yep.

I have the same problem Trolly, Doesnt bother me too much though. Just abit of a fuel imbalance

Should have got you to put this on one of those dvds for me Jared. Still haven't got around to downloading..

Looks just awsome.

I have got confused between bank and yaw- infact it is yawing to the left, not banking in decreasing diameter circles this was a problem I had previously with my Carenado c206 when emptying wing tanks). I can't find any rudder trim tab in the VC or any mention of it in the manual that comes with the download. Any ideas?

it's pretty good...

The screenshot is of DPS the C150 Aerobat that I completed my first solo, first cross country solo and first aerobatic exercises with the Tauranga Aero Club during 1974. The screenshot is following the Desert Rd in a re-enactment of my first cross country - Tauranga/Rotorua/Wairouru/Whakatane/Tauranga. Excuse the calendar, it is my desktop image for August.

Nice! - Is that repaint availabe anywhere? I took some shots of the current Tauranga Aero Club 152s in this thread here which you may of already seen.

Many thanks for the link.
This repaint comes as part of the download of the C.150. I just changed the rego and took the liberty of placing the club's name on the aircraft.
