Hi,

I've read on several threads that AFPD planes are floaty and this is solved by adding weight.

Is this true?

How much?

I'm particurarly interested in "fixing" the large aeobatic planes... pitts, extras, etc.

Any insight on the general subject of improving flying realism is greatly appreciated.

No this is not true. The planes in AFPD fly EXACTLY like the real ones do and the physics are PERfECT

I think there is only one way to be more realistic... go to the field...

AWESOME! I guess I am the best pilot in the world then. good to know!

Hey my 6 year old daughter (whos never flown r/c or used a sim) was able to hover the Extra and Giles after a couple minutes so AFPD must be the best sim

HeHe. I want to challenge her to a fly off! I better get ta practicin.

Chris

Yeah, but the sim is different because theres no fear factor, i also am the worlds best pilot......on the sim, i can transfer all into real life...just a lil bit higher.

They arnt excactly the same, a little bit of adjusting and they get close, but no sim will ever get the same as real flying.

They arent to far off getting it nailed though are they.

depends on the plane...for the larger ones, I have added upwards of a couple pounds to the fuse...
play with the CG a little bit..

and you can also increase the sim speed to about 120% or more

For some reason they have default weather to 0. Dial a little weather in and then come back to let us know.

thanks exeter and STLP, thats what I was looking for.
