Hi,
Anyone know where I can download a modified G2 plane file for the Sig Four-Star?
I have files of the Hobbico Avistar and Sig Somethin Extra based on measurements of my "real" models that fly very close to the real thing. Glad to share them. Avistar is a modified PT-40 and SE is a modified Dazzler. Both require some of the add-on packs to work.

Geistware,
I modified the "stock" G2 planes by finding the G2 model that was the closest to my real model (i.e. Dazzler for the Somethin Extra) and then measuring all the dimensions on my model that are editable fields in G2. For example wingspan, % of cord for control surfaces, wing chord etc. Then, after flying the real model, I tweaked things like control surface deflection so that it spins at about the same rate, loops the same etc. After a few trials of flying the real thing and then tweaking the sim you can get it pretty close.

If you would like a copy, give me your e-mail address and I'll be more than happy to send it to you.
