RE: Realflight Pattern Practice Field - give it a try.
<span lang="EN">
BTW, I am the guy that posted the Evo settings on the NSRCA email. I have the file with a few new tweaks that I can send to anyone that wants it. That will save you a ton of time doing the modifications yourself. Just drop me an email and I’ll send it to you.</p>
I fly Real Flight a lot and in my opinion the closest plane to real life is the Evo with modifications. It’s not 100%, but pretty darn good. Yes, downline speeds are not at their best. The problem with the original Evo is it being too light. On the modified version I increased the weight close to eleven pounds and is much better. With the modifications, the Evo snaps like crazy (on high rates) and stops on a dime.</p>
You will need to download the “Color Schemes” form the Real Flight” swap pages. The “Black” Evo on the swap pages is the original. The others are “color schemes” or modifications.</p>
With the modified file you will need to go to the “Physics” screen and then go to “Custom”. Click “Unlimited Fuel”. Also to speed up the response, set the “Physics Speed” to around 125%.</p>
And yes, the new Masters (which I fly) needs to be flown very, very big. So here’s one of the major issues with Real Flight. If you try to fly with “Keep Ground In View”, by the time you are at the top of your maneuvers the plane turns into a dot. I fly 100% of the time in “Automatic Zoom” and just forget about trying to center maneuvers, leaving that for the field. My recommendation for the new field would be to increase the end and center poles as high as you can get them. That way, you will be able to see the poles when you are at the top of the box.</p>
Here is an example. Take the figure Z in the new Masters. When you fly across center you are at the top of the box and can’t see the center pole if you are flying in “Auto Zoom”. if you are flying in “Keep Ground In View”, the plane is going to be a black dot.</p>
Also, I would move the 30 degree lines (if possible) to be up off the ground so they intersect the white horizontal reference line you have drawn. Or leave the lines on the ground and put a second set intersecting the horizontal line.</p>
Great work and thanks.</p>
For what it‘s worth. If you take two pilots with equal ability and one fly’s a properly set up simulator religiously; over time, that guy is going to clean the other guys clock.
