In case anybody is still working on the C172p-3D: While trying to describe how to fly turns with the c172p 3D-model I noticed problems with the there used 3D-Turn-Coordinator/Indicator (as well in the "old" version 1.9 as in the new version 2):
1) In the 3D-model there is used the very old style "Turn Indicator" while in the 2D-model there is the modern "Turn Coordinator". In my old "Pilots Operating Handbooks" of 172M (1976) and 172K (1977) there is always shown the new style (like in the 2D-model). (See also e.g. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendezeiger Sorry: That old, outdated style I found only in the German WIKI - seems all other nations forgot about that old stuff already!) 2) In addition the Turn-Indicator-Markings on that old style 3D-model are mis-adjusted: The marks for a Standard-2min-Turn with 20° banking are at 15° - in the 2D that is correctly centered at 20° banking. Would be nice to have a nice c172p-3D with a nice "Turn Coordinator" as in the (not so glamorous) 2D. joe ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
