A couple of things. FDs are not a copy of Manfred's C-47. I would think the likes of Paul Frimston would be a little disturbed by that comment. FDs are not produced with engines in isolation to other factors. It is completely untrue to suggest that the engine component of a flight file is just the same as a similar engine from another aeroplane. It's performance is very different from other aircraft when a multitude of factors governing lift co-efficients, height, climb rate and the weight of the aeroplane all have a governing effect on how the power curves are assembled.
Lastly, a fully ticketed C46 pilot was on the beta test team. The one that approved the model.
Bazzar, please read my post again - I didn't say Manfred's C-47 FDE had been copied. I speculated on whether people ( i.e. users such as myself ) would notice if it was.
The ticketed C-46 pilot you had on board - which of the two radically different FDEs that you released, ( the initial release one, followed by the service pack one ) did he approve of ?
Bjoern - interesting idea, I had Libardo Guzmans C-46 and liked it very much. I'm retired - it could be a project.
