FSX Bücker Jungmann ?
- Thread starter anatolpopov
- Start date
Missing gauges, nope. . .I just put it thru FSPanel Studio and everything seems to be in order. Not that big a deal really since I have the autostart setup. I'll work the alpha for the prop though, thanks Roger.

That updated flight model above, is it realistic? It seems too easy to fly, almost like Christen Eagle. (Realism setups full)
Since I have never flown the Bucker Jungmann, nor has anyone else in here that I am aware of, I found nothing wrong with the stock aircraft. For me, as long as the airspeed fits within the specs, rolls and turns are done within the range I would expect for the control surfaces, airspeed and weight of the airplane, I'm satisfied.
Not ragging on or criticizing you or anyone else necessarily, I've just always found it interesting that people who have never flown or flown in most of the airplanes we "fly" in flightsim can still say "it just doesn't feel right". Aside from the F-16, I've never flown in the majority of the airplanes we hop into every day here, that's why I am happy with the way these airplanes fly. Now after flying the Bucker for 6 months and then someone else comes along with a better version and the flight dynamics are "different", then I could say with some limited experience that the newer version "feels different", but I couldn't state even then that based on the original aircraft, it doesn't feel right, because I don't know for sure.
Ok, I'm done and off the soapbox. I love the airplane and fly it every day around Oregon and Washington. . .love it, even if it is just a portover.
I just wanted expand on this a tad bit more with an example: Years ago when Cloud9 came out with their F-4 Phantom, tested by the way by a Navy F-4 pilot and decorated Vietnam Vet, there were actually people questioning the flight dynamics of the aircraft. They admitted to having never flown the airplane, not ever even flying in one and had only what they had read to go by, but still vehemently protested that "this can't be right" or "are you sure this is how that should function" and the old standby, "this just doesn't feel right", lol.
Truthfully, not many developers have access to a seasoned pilot, with years of background in the airplane they're building to help in the beta testing and so all they have to go on is the data available to them, which could range from volumes to scant few pages, the airwrench program, ACM program and a few others to tweak and test until, based on the FSX or FS9 engine and it's limitations, they have a best possible airfile and acft config file. It's a frustrating task to have an airplane you've only seen in books or on TV, fly like the real thing or at least as close as possible to the real thing.
The guys who build the airplanes we love to fly, do an amazing job, we all appreciate the hard work it takes to get it in the air so we can fly to our hearts content and imagine what it would have been like. . .really.

But is the Buecker supposed to fly like an Extra???
LMAO. . . .realistic flight model?. . . .we don't need no stinkin' realistic flight model, lol, lol. Oh well. . .to each his own.
Here's one from Huub Vink, almost like a WWI scheme, classical and no "broken cross"
Too much credits for me Roger! I wish I had done this one
It is still somewhere on my to do list to make a complete paintkit for this beautiful model. I have received something from a good friend which could be a great start for a paintkit, but I never got to it to complete it....The repaint was actually done by Bill "Lionheart" Ortis and can be found here in the dowload section.

I hate to be a pain but i decided to try out this plane and decided i would take a crack at the prop. I followed the tutorial but when i go to fill in the white areas in mspaint only a small disk in the center gets filled in. Is this all i have to fill in? It says do the white areas and i cant decide if the lighter areas are gray or not. Thanks in advance for your help.

I would like to have it also
My flight instructor, low many years ago, had a Bucher Jungmeister, which he had bought from Ernie Gahn, who had bought it from Mira Slovak, a well known aerobatic pilot of the 60's. His plane had a horizontally opposed six cylinder engine for considerably more power than the original. The Bucher was in fact fairly easy to fly, as a primary trainer should be. He later went to a Pitts S2 as it was a smaller and lighter aircraft for competition. Not easy to fly......

Thanks Falcon. Any help on converting textures would be much appreciated.
