Here's a sticky for ya...... Storch is RELEASED !

What a wonderful Aircraft... Thank you very much Simon and Francois :salute::applause::applause:

Now on testing carrier landings with this bugger get your speed right and you hover and land any where on the deck...once on the deck break and yoke the nose forward tail comes up and your ready for a vertical takeoff View attachment 46696

Next is the back of a Cutter's helo's pad
 
Hi François

I would like to add my little comment about this plane...

First of all thank you very much Simon & François for bringing us this wonderful model that is great fun to fly. And I am also a great fan of all the extra animations :icon_lol:

But I have a little issue with the sound "modelling". I find that the transitions between the different parts of the sounds could perhaps be more fluid... When I advance the throttle gently from idle to about 1200 rpm I hear a stedy increasing engine sound with the same overall character. But there is a dramatic change in the sound character (prop sound?) between 1200 rpm and 1300 rpm. And then again between 1300 and 1400 rpm the sound changes dramatically. From 1400 rpm and upwards the sound developes more like I would expect. Is this the way it should be?

I must admit, that I haven't heard an actual Storch engine performing in real life, but it just doesn't feel quite right in my ears...

Best regards
Kim Dahl
 
Thanks Kim !

I am no expert at sounds, and unfortunately neither is Simon. I have already asked him to have a look to see if he sees any chance of improving it. I'll let you know as soon as I get a reply. As mentioned before, Simon is not 'on-line' very often.
 
@ Michael.. thanks ! :)

@ Bernt ; missed you for the last part, but many thanks for your invaluable help ! :salute::salute:

plural is Störche (Stoerche) and it's (they) a (are) really great add-on!

Thanks for that. I had two years of college German and a summer at Wiener Internationale Hochschulkurse, and I hear a decent amount of German opera. But I'm clearly a bit rusty and besides, none of that introduced me to plural Stoerche. Schwaene, ja, Stoerche, nein... so I appreciate the vectors... :icon_lol:

Will try to check out the Storch this weekend if my power holds (hurricane on the way at the moment, now that we seem to be done with our earthquake... fun here in the eastern US...)
 
Saint-Exupéry. Very appropriate :) We pass the airport named after him sometimes when we choose to take the 'faster' way south (not in Summer, of course).

Hope your power stays up ! :)

Saint-Ex is a culture hero of mine. I try to read Pilote de Guerre (or Flight to Arras, to its English-speaking friends) at least once a year. He's a very tough-minded writer - not at all like the popular image.

Power - it goes out if you look at it cross-eyed. Our local utility is famouly awful - the subject of government hearings. I'm moving next month to a building nearby that has its own generator.

In the meantime I'll have to contemplate escaping by Storch.

That's my favourite from Saint-Ex: it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.

But by far my favourite aviation writer is Richard Bach, especially his 'a gift of wings'

Seems like the FLYING is not the hard part...... :icon_lol:

Francois, this thing is impossible to crash! Landings are...well...let's just said easy. :icon_lol: I did four T&Gs on one trip down the new Orbx Bowerman (KHQM) runday way. (BTW-If anyone who has PNW doesn't have this free airport, go get it.) I can't even read the instruments (what's km/hr and M? ;) )but, you can fly just by judging your speed. No need to worry about going past the redline. :icon_lol:

Maybe, I can use the Storch to teach me to land a helicopter? :jump: Great airplane. Thank you Francois and Simon.
 
Initially the Storch was cleared for fully stalled landings from any altitude.
Full flaps, stick fully back and just let it descend until you hit the ground.

Unfortunately this sometimes resulted in a collapsed landing gear so this procedure was prohibited later on.

This FSX Storch can do that as well!
