Hi All, As we approach a new release, here is a suggestion that I think would increase the realism of our default AC. I really like the new c172p 3D model.
But it seems to me that the model cruise pitch is too nose high. Here is an interesting video link of a real c172 in flight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tg2zXfuywuc Notice that in the video 1. the tail is higher in cruise than what we have in fgfs for the new model. 2. the nose wheel is below the main wheels in cruise. 3. in fgfs, the tail cone is presently below ground at touch down. Would it not be more realistic to rotate the 3D model about -3 or -4 degrees about the ac3d z-axis. I hope these comments/suggestions are taken as constructive input. Thanks again for a much improved c172p 3D model.
