RE: [Flightgear-users] F-80C model

[MPCEE French Bureau]

Hello:

Done a circuit around the Bay this morning. I had no problems and the
controls were so light. Very positive and smooth. Taxiing also, nothing
difficult turning left or right under differential breaking. No jumping
around. Definitely one to keep in your active duty list. Good I expect for
bumps and circuits off the Nimitz!  Bravo!

Martin

Subject: [Flightgear-users] F-80C model

I've just completed a Lockheed F-80C Shooting Star.  I'd like someone to
please download it and take it up for a spin before I submit it to the
hangar.

The exterior model was originally done by Massimo Taccoli, who has done
several very nice models for MSFS, and has given me permission to convert it
for use in FlightGear and release the resulting model under GPL.  The FDM is
JSBSim, based on Aero-Matic output with a couple tweaks.  It runs here in
CVS
FlightGear, and should run in 0.9.8 and later?

It's a no-brainer to fly.  Engine is running at startup, and flaps are set
at
half (takeoff position).  Check out the gunsight (you have to turn it on by
clicking on the on/off switch).  It has auto-depression for g-load.

Thanks,

Dave
