this is the way it behaves, I accept it.
Neither am I. I don't have probs with a/c simulating torque effects or don't fly
perfectly
straight when you don't coounteract. I do have probs with relatively simple a/c which
require you to frantically operate your stick, pedals or whatever you try to control
it with
and dive nose down after a few secs. Even a sim should be some fun. As for now, the
172 1981 model is the only 1 I can enjoy, good enough coz it's mainly the scenery I
keep FG for (yes folks, a free sim beats Fly and a lot of others just on scenery).
What I don't want to keep doing is asking myself this question: wow, is
this really so? Or is this one of those planes whose model is still
being worked on?.
Same here.
I agree about the panels. I don't mind having 3D cockpits, just give me
working instruments.
Exactly
Now, I'm perfectly happy with the c172. It's great flying and learning.
I just whish there were more good aircrafts like this one. But this is a
free project, and people have a life.
You know, Fly was a commercial project. Lotsa people been spending lotsa time to
develop improved versions of existing a/c in Fly or add completely new ones: the J3,
Texan, C130, several versions of the 747 and many more have been made available for
Fly for free, including completely new designed panels (some of em were based on
FlightSimulator ones tho') and except for a MD82 beta I tried, none of em had real
probs when they were released.
The big problem is that FG now is one of the few choices one has when trying
flightsimming, with Fly and Propilot being discontinued. In order to keep new users
(who
might be taking their very first steps into flightsimming) I think it would be very
wise to
limit the base package to the a/c which are foolproof and work more or less the way
they should, including NAV's and AP, and make the 'beta and alpha planes available to
them who are willing to crash every 5 mins. That's my 5 cents on it.
