Why bother turning the sim that is so very capable, into a cheap desk-top video game? It's your dime, I realize, but heck, there's cheaper ways to just pretend to be in a pretend airplane that's super easy to drive around the pretend sky.Īnywho, have fun with it. Compete online at famous venues, such as the Red Bull courses and the Reno, Nevada National Champion Air Race. Flight Simulator X: Acceleration includes new Multiplayer racing Missions. If you turn all that down, or off, naturally none of the planes will do it, but it really, IMO, ruins the whole experience. Flight Simulator X: Acceleration has enhancements and improvements that affect features that you may already be familiar with. Try the default DC-3, you'll see it.Īll this presumes you have your realism sliders to the right. Even some 2-4 engine prop planes do the same thing, if all the engines turn the same direction. If you don't give it some right rudder trim, and hold your twist joystick a little right, when you begin your take-off roll, you'll go sailing off the left side of the runway, maybe even ground loop it. Even the well modeled Corsair, or P-40, will do the same thing.ĪLL the single engine prop planes in the sim do it to a greater or lesser extent. That's if you don't dip your left wing-tip into the ground and ground-loop it. If you don't do it that way, you'll go sailing left off the runway, and bouncing off across the field, in a constant left turn. The faster you go, the more rudder authority you have, the easier it gets to control the P-factor. ![]() Once you start developing rudder authority, you can start bringing the throttle up, slooowly, to full power. You have to set the manifold pressure to 30-35 InHg, less than 50% throttle, to start the take off roll. Also, you can't just hop in a plane like a p-51 and gun the engine to full power for take-off. This is a repaint for the excellent A2A Simulations T-6 Texan. It is owned by Warbird Aviation Rendezvous, Inc. ![]() And aileron trim to help hold the right wing down. The N3645F is a 1943 North American SNJ-5 (C/N 43779) and painted in United States Navy markings originating in the 1950's at Corry Station, Pensacola, Florida. If you read a actual P-51 POH, or just about any WWII war-bird (not the P-38 :D ), in fact, you'll see that you need to set rudder trim to the right for take off. It's an aerodynamic feature of the prop's airflow around, and down the fuselage, of the plane. Second, there's this little detail single engine prop jobs in general, and powerful ones in particular, have. He doesn't have to hold a lot of rudder and aileron in to keep them going round the course properly. They're set up so that's easier on the pilot.
