Have you noticed this? Zivko Edge 540

I agree with Tig - the FDE is much better on the zlin....

This thing behaves oddly on my system. Even the default extra is better. But I do have Alexander Metzger FDE's for all my default planes.

Oh, and nice paint smoothie!

Smoothie, could you zip that carbon fiber texture and attach it here in a post, can't be too big zipped. It looks marvelous. :applause:

BTW, I love this aircraft Anatol, it loads fast and flies smooth, almost as fast in frame rates as Piglet's FSX planes, very good. Excellent in aerobatics. That digital panel is exquisite, but takes some getting use to. :ernae:

The only thing I had that did not suit me was the contact points, probably due to the fact that I have FSGenesis 10-meter DEM msh. But the wheels were sunk into the ground and I adjusted the contact points for anyone else that may note this in their sim. Edit the Bold in the below in the SimObjects > Zivco_Edge_640_FSX aircraft.cfg and save when prompted.

static_pitch = 9.750

Caz - thank you for posting your contact point adjustment :ernae:
since reading the manual and finding that the aerobatics are only to be performed with the fuse tank full and the wing tanks dry, I am able to do something other than break the plane...

also - the pilots helmet visor is actuated by using the water brake command ctrl-W
and that there are a couple of other details in the 'pit

I really need to read those whenever they are included...:kilroy:
 
I noticed that the plane has way to much pitch making it very touchy on the elevators so i went into the aircraft cfg an tweaked it down in flight tuning (elevator_effectiveness =0.50000) this helped calm down the touchiness of the elevator.
 
It's green what else is there to say!!!!:applause::applause::applause::applause: Waiting patiently for the upload, thanks for this.
