Druine D31 Turbulent for FSX/P3D

[FlyTexas]

Thanks for the link Martin. I never knew such a thing exists.

For those with no rudder pedals, changing the steering angle from 0 degrees to 60 degrees makes it much easier to taxy using autorudder:-

point.0=1, -9.940, 0.000, -1.050, 1180, 0, 0.180, 60.000, 0.100, 1.500, 0.300, 0.000, 0.000, 0

Thanks Peter!

OK Dave, I have reworked the three British Turbulent textures for FSX and uploaded them to BritSim and Flightsim. BritSim available now, Flightsim tomorrow!

cheers, Pete W

Downloaded the 'G' reg paints and love em.. cheers Pete

BTW.. has anyone noticed the ground handling on the Turbulent somewhat lacking? For reasons unknown (as yet).. I see the rudder and tail wheel giving plenty of deflection yet the little lady prefers to go in straight lines. Had just taken a DH60 out for a spin and that was ok.. changed to the D31 and got an almost complete lack of ground steering then chopped to the Chippie and spun on a sixpence

Dave - I finished up with this, which makes the tailwheel a castor and takes the tailwheel lock out of the argument altogether.
Naturally the visual model is unaffected, but mine now responds nicely to a bit of diff braking (F11, F12 if you don't use pedals)

Doesn't help me land behind the Chateau at Mt Ruapehu, though - Druine 8, Ghanpa 0 so far.

Hiya Mike

Blimey.. I didn't consider tailwheel lock with that amount of deflection showing on the model Will give your settings a go and thanks VM

Actually you only need to change the 5th set of numbers (the angle of swing for the tailwheel) in the first line from 0 to 30 to get it to steer OK. I find though that she is difficult to take off in a crosswind, she tips over very easily! Also onto her nose.....C of G is too far fwd!
