I just recieved my new G2 software, with add on #4. it has a 40% Edge 540 I thought for sure I could practice hovering and torque rolling, but No luck. Anybody know the secret?

"practice"



Bologna, I can hover an RC plane, so it's not me, I'm sure it's something in the setup of the simulator to make it realistic. Somebody knows.

On the left side of the realflight home page there is a tab titled download. Click on it the you will find quite a few planes to download that you will be able to hover with.

Wayne,
IF their too easy to hover then change their parameters to make them "realistic"...thats what i did (cos the "cap 232 2x" is way too easy)...i now have a virtual model of my cap which hovers the same as my real one.
Happy Flying

3D can I get a copy of your cap that you say is just like your real one please. I'd also like an Edge 540 if somebody has it. I can't get the one on Add on #4 to act realistic

JOhn.

send it to [email protected]

thanks!

Hi Cap. I too think the cap232-2x is way to easy to hover. I have a Cap I'm putting togather this winter. Would you please e-mail me your "realistic" Cap file also. Thank you.

Yeah, that Quique Extra has like a 5 to 1 power to weight ratio. I wish my planes can have that much power.

I've been flying on G2 multi-player ever since it came out and i have yet to find anyone that can hover any of the planes in there.
I have over 100 downloaded planes and schemes and none can actually HOVER.
To be more specific, Hovering is keeping the plane in one location facing one direction for extended periods of time (tilting the nose slightly forward should stop the plane from spinning). Torque rolling on the other hand would be the same as hovering except your keeping the plane perfectly vertical to allow the engines TORQUE to spin the plane around it's axis.
Most people can torque roll well enough but as i mentioned earlier, I have'nt seen anyone hover.
If there is someone out there who can , Please Record and Post it for all to see. Good Luck
