Beginner needs help!

There are a few things that can ONLY be changed in the air file. The parameters I've modified in air files are, landing gear drag.. cowl-flap drag, and a few non-performance effecting things like how CHT changes, or fuel pressure, or oil pressure and temperature.

Other than that, as long as the air-file matches the basic model (mainly number and type of engines), everything else can be done in the aircraft.cfg file. In fact, if there's an aircraft.cfg file entry, it overrides the air file anyway.


The key is to use real numbers, and real geometry.. that's 75% of the work. The rest is just fine-tuning.

Downloaded and working on it.

Thanks  ;) Its fascinating to hear that, please do tell me what changes have been made so I can learn from it.

And here is the Gmax model and some initial drawings I used to create the model.

Finally, I should mention that I have kept all inputted values as true as possible  :)

Hi Travis, just wondering what changes you have made to the cfg to make it fly better? I should try it out myself. Thanks!
