Default RE: FS One by Hangar 9


ORIGINAL: RealtyViking

Just out of curiosity what are the chances that this bad boy could be added under QQ's licence? http://www.turbinetoucan.com/homepage/
It's a full-scale biplane; I've never seen this one before. What a plane! To me the overall dimensions are similar to the Ultimate TOC in the sim. With a slight repaint, the Ultimate is going to look pretty close to this Toucan.

I used the FS One Scaling Wizard to resize the Ultimate TOC to "match" this plane in full scale. If you want to try it, in the aircraft category, pick the "Giants" and then pick the full scale Ultimate. Make a copy and click edit. The real airplane has a flyable weight of 2000 lbs. I broke this out as 1820 + 180 lbs (180 lbs is the pilot). The wing span is 256 inches. The power is 750 HP. The prop is a four blade and we don't have that in the FS One, but I think the stock Ultimate prop (resize, 84 inch dia) is close enough. I don't have information on the control surface sizes, but maybe the Ultimate TOC is close and maybe they're using something like the H9 throws. I set all throws to be 40 deg to match. Screen grabs of the inputs are shown below. This is all I changed. Amazing machine! It's very easy to get into trouble w/ engine out. Another thing - Full scale airplanes take a lot more anticipation when flying. They "push" more before reacting.

What's "QQ's license"?

ps The control surfaces are smaller, so going w/ something like 30 deg is closer after all. 30 deg is the default setup on the aero page in the sim for the copied plane.
