Model M, N or P

Post by Wefar »

Hello,

did you ever gonna build a Cessna 172 M, N or P model?
It would be great for training the carburator heat + simulation of the primer (2 to 6 strokes).

Greetings, Wim Arbouw

That's a Piper, not really the same airplane I am training on in the real!

Make sure you have a spare lever around yoir computer. Map it to do nothing. Use as carb heat for training purposes. Ditto for primer. Makes sure you have it as part of your procedures, even if it doesn't do anything in the simulator.
Be warned: Aero engineer, real life pilot, sim programmer. Nothing good can come out of that.

I've been thinking this over also.

I bought into a real life Cessna 172. L model. I would LOVE to get it repainted and the performance to match. While I love the A2A version, it's plenty different enough from my real life airplane, I am going to NOT use it while I'm planning, plotting, and executing a real life flight in the sim first.

Other differences like my real airplane is done in MPH instead of knots, and it's so stable it hardly ever needs rudder input when banking. little things like that. How hard would it be to recreate the performance file or what you call it, to make it perform like an L model?

Very hard I'm afraid. The Accu-sim simulation engine is not based on a single file like default and most FSX aircraft. In order to get the realism we have in the simulation and around a bunch of inherent limitations in FSX/P3D.

well darn.

S'okay though. I will just enjoy it as a separate entity unto it's own!
