RE: Thermalling in AFPD
Glad to hear it Spacey. I didn't even think about using "follow cam" since I'm trying to simulate my real flying experience. You have a great idea though for those trying to learn how the plane twitches.
Latest changes to the guide:
* I added some comments on the wind settings
* I removed the F3/F4 hint for cg adjustment. Turns out the software forgets the F3 data once you leave the sim to enter the editor.
* CG HAS MOVED BACK TO -1.75 in.
The new cg improves pitch neutrality even more and reduces the amount of elevator trim needed to hold a glide slope so the plane should fly more efficiently. Stability didn't appear to suffer with the change.
So far, I've never been able to pick up a thermal below 100 feet. Either they are not modeled down that low or they are too weak at that level for a 3m plane. Someday I'll try a smaller HLG and see if I can find a thermal that low.
