Default RE: G4 Real Flight is great!


ORIGINAL: Elk Grove Don

Ok, here is the question. I agree Real Flight is cool but how do I get realistic flight characteristics from a specific airplane. We all know Piper Cubs love to ground loop on take off, I get no response from the simulator. Full throttle, the tail picks up and off we go, not in the real world of R/C flying. One of the reasons I bought the G4 was to practice on this problem. Other airplanes have slight characteristics unique to them selves, but I don't find this in the G4, am I asking for too much?

I've yet to hear of anyone report ground looping in any of the sims.

And I think none of them even offer ground that is anything other than uniform in type. So if it's grass, it's uniformly grass without bare spots or rock or dips or anything that might cause taxi problems.

So no airplane induced ground loops and no rough ground to help cause it.
