Hi Lee,
I have some questions regarding the ComperSwift;
I would like to use it in the FGLive-KOSH CD being put
together by Arnt... i know under GPL I don't have to ask for
permission but would like your comment... particularly as I'm
missing one important figure - cruise speed
:-)... I don't really have time to download/install and get
: familiar with
the aircraft as it will be used in an AI scenario and just
need to know the basic flight parameters/performance
figures
I have the J3, 172P C28-161 as low speed(90knt
comfortable)aircraft for the standard NOTAM approaches and
there are heaps of 140knt+ aircraft to choose from (AIR New
Zealand 737 ;-)...but need 5 low speed civilian aircraft.
The Rascal110 also looks a good candidate to fill the fifth
spot :...similar figures would be required for that too...
if you would prefer to take this off list please feel free to
mail be direct..
TIA
:-D ene
Hi Dene,
I'll check the figures for you in the next couple of days but
iirc cruise speed was 100 mph @ 3000 (eng) rpm, max speed 130
mph @ 3300 (eng) rpm - eng rpm quoted because the prop was
geared.
Actually, I've flown it quite recently, to do a bit of virtual
geology over the Channelled Scab Lands in Washington state
(worth a look in FG) and it seems to be flying pretty close to
the right numbers, engine included. Not so sure about the
handling though - it should be tail-heavy and inclined to loop
if you let go of the stick, which doesn't happen in FG.
Like I said though, I'll check the numbers and get back to you in
the next few days.
You make a good point re it being GPL'd - it is and what is in FG
isn't mine. However, I think it's probably a good idea to try
to talk to any people who created or subsequently developed the
work because they will have done a lot of research on it and
could save you a lot of time.
