Hey guys, It's out!!

Can the rudder yaw be lessened? Flying this one a lot!

Look for the [flight_tuning] section. The line you want to adjust is rudder_effectiveness = 1.0 - remember, 0 - 2.0 is the accepted range. If the tuning section isn't there, you can add it with just the one parameter.

Thanks Tom, I'll try that one.
Edit: 0.8 instead of 1.6 did the trick!

I thought that might help!

Thanks Tom and Cees for the rudder tweaks! It really helped.




For the serious panel tweakers:

I'm sure there are many C152's without pitot heat, but in my neck of the woods I haven't seen one without it.

I added the pitot heat switch to both panels. The switch in the 2D panel is in the correct position. The 3D panel switches are modelled by Carenado, so the best, and closest, I could get was placing the switch between the left and right fuel gauges.

I used Carenado's switch and xml format, so can only give up the text for the pitot heat xml.

Tweakers will have to decompile Carenado's "C152.CAB" (save a copy of the original CAB for your records), add the new PitotHeat.xml, and recompile a new "C152.CAB".

A panel.cfg adjustment will also be necessary to call up the switch in both panels.

note: rename "PitotHeat.xml.txt" to "PitotHeat.xml"

This made a world of difference on the view from the cockpit. Got the adjustments from avsim forums...

Hey dog, thanks but I don't have a views section in my fs9 panel.cfg. :isadizzy: Is that a FSX adjustment?

It's FS9, Lou. They didn't have a VIEWS section, so just add it in.

Here is a Shockwave Lights config in case anyone is interested:

[LIGHTS]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit
light.0 = 3, -1.65, -16.736, 2.01, fx_shockwave_navred
light.1 = 3, -1.65, 16.727, 2.01, fx_shockwave_navgre
light.2 = 1, -17.43, 0.00, 4.50, fx_shockwave_beacon_rotating_red
light.3 = 4, -2.57, 0.00, 1.50, fx_shockwave_vclight
light.4 = 5, 4.00, 0.0, -1.35, fx_shockwave_landing_light
light.5 = 2, -1.75, -16.736, 2.01, fx_shockwave_strobe_sm
light.6 = 2, -1.75, 16.736, 2.01, fx_shockwave_strobe_sm_3

........Should you not want the strobes, just hash out or delete lines 5 and 6; I put them there because a few 152's I have seen have them. Enjoy!

Thank you Felix, very thoughtful of you.
Interestingly, the port wingtip light displays a small distance inboard, as seen from the pilot's seat.
Spot view is fine though.
