Gannet

Just a question, Rob. Did you change the elevator trim settings or the AP functions on the latest version of the AS.1? It appears it doesn't hold level properly on AP anymore with one engine shut down.

Cheers!
 
Rob, hope you will not mind my offering my Flight Dynamics for your Gannet AS1, anyone who tries it will be a extention to my 2 beta testers, please let me know what you think of it

As someone who has tried the modified file above, I urge you to DL it!

You will be able to trim her for 'hands off' flying and still have the correct performance figures. IMHO it makes this very good model something a bit special. Congrats to both modellers.
 
Trev, just to clarify this is not a modification of Robs FD, it is a modification of the one I did for Mr Ito's Gannet when it first came out and was susequently modified again to port that Gannet into FSX then again modified to fit Rob's very nice model.
 
Ah, sorry my fault! It still flies like I feel a Gannet should though:applause: and the model is much better than the old 2002/2004 Ito model.

seawing, a couple of shots of the Gannet flying on autopilot as I have it, each engine stopped in turn, No1 engine the rear prop does visualy feather but No2 refuses.

Autothrottle set for 140 kts TAS, IAS is 137, altitude set for 1500 ft, it will happily trundle along at that maybe even slower.

1st pic No2 stopped no visual feather 2nd No1 stopped with visual feather, not sure why No2 refuses.
 
The Canadian what if paint is on Flightsim.com do a search for Gannet and it should be top of the page
 
Once more my DL from Classic British Files is a waste of time:sleep::sleep::sleep:, it completes at about 10% or there abouts!

Please upload the COD version to another site like FS.com or here, your models will reach a much bigger audience, Rob!!

I know I should complain there, but I just cannot face having to join another forum to be told 'You are the only one having problems'...which may be the case!!!
 
Trev, just did a test download on the COD it worked fine and extracted ok from the zip, download time 3 min 32 sec for 19 mb, could there be a problem with your ISP ?
 
Hi Rich, I do have a crap ISP, but downloads from FS.com and here (Avsim just will not give me anything at all!!!!) are perfect.

CBF seems to terminate (complete....not!!!)the DL as soon as there is a minute pause at my end. Today I got 20%, better than yesterday when it was 10%. Because of the way the page operates, I cannot use a DL manager (with re-start) either.

I still cannot think why (if you spend thousands of hours of work) a developer will stick to a small host site, where it is hard to find. I could not ger the AS1 either, but plenty of others had trouble with that one too!
 
A few shots of this magnificent aircraft!!

Just about to try the new FD's too so thanks for those! :salute:

Pete!
 
I Love to get this a Wyvern and say 2 Scimitars in Diamond formation for a shot, it would look great even if not strictly accurate lol!

Thanks a lot! I don't know why mine went slowly down on AP despite been flown at around 160 KIAS. It worked out fine on the first release, though. I will try again and see whether the fault was in me handling the AP incorrect. :isadizzy:

Cheers!
 
seawing, those shots were done using my flight dynamics not with the set that came with the model
