I'm looking to simulate one engine situations for twin engine aircraft. I've figured out how to modify the TMD file to have separate servos and controls for each engine, so that one of them can be switched off.
Some of the aircraft behave as expected when one engine cuts out (pronounced yaw, stall with snap roll when speed gets too low, etc.). Specifically, the F7F, Aztec, and DA42 seem realistic.
But others seem to fly along with barely any noticeable affect. In particular, the P38 (downloaded from Rodeo's site) does not show any yaw or stall tendancy at all. If you read the scale pages, this airplane should be snapping very quickly if no corrections are made after engine out.
I've looked through this forum and the twins forum but didn't see anything addressing this topic.
Two questions:
1) any input/thoughts on why some planes behave realistically and others don't?
2) anybody have a DH Mosquito or Hornet for AFPD?
Thanks,
Keith
