MV DHC-2 Beaver released!

Concerning the tail-raising behavior, I believe A2A was able to get some kind of prop-wash modelled into their aircrafts. But since the simulator engine can't handle that, they are probably modelling it through the external Accusim module, then. Perhaps Milviz can implement some similar external module in future, which would allow them to model much more things the sim can't do ?
You definitely don't need accusim, 'external FDE' etc. to simulate propwash. It's a standard option in the airfile. I don't know why some designers don't use it. Of course you need a finely tuned basic FDE for this feature to work correctly.
 


This is TOO GOOD a model to just let this go. Please, please plead with Colin and revisit this issue when possible. I WANT TO LOVE THIS SIMULATION, but with a fair bit of tail wheel time myself, I just cannot bring myself to do so in it's current iteration.

Just for those wondering why Milviz releases fast jets with completely external flight models that rival and actually exceed DCS's advanced flight model, but doesn't do the same for the "simpler" prop planes....

Our ADV dev works only on fast jets. Personal preference of his which we quite happily respect. I do have a personal dream of doing an external flight physics engine for our prop planes but the problem there is a that my talents have been honed on building the systems and avionics used in the fast jets to such an extent that KC can't spare me anywhere else that readily. One day....
