I thought you might enjoy seeing the real N7764P. http://www.airliners.net/photos/photos/2/2/1/0914122.jpg If you compare this picture to the fgfs model, the one improvement that will probably eventually get done is to change the intersection of the windshield and the top of the cabin to be "flatter".
The most recent update pa24 fgfs patch in cvs implements a stall warning horn that takes into account the various configuration stall speeds as well as the g-loading that leads to accelerated stalls. Even in a 60 degree bank, as you slow up, the horn comes on just before the stall break in fgfs. The list discussion of the c182rg motivated the implementation of the gear warning. The pitch of this horn is a much lower frequency in the real pa24 than for the stall warning horn. If you find it annoying when you are descending clean, it really is annoying in the real AC and distracting when you are talking to ATC (not to mention disturbing to your passengers). Because of this, I always put the gear down before the GS needle passes the one-dot-high on the ILS. That way I can pull the power and slow up below 125 mph to put down some flaps before intersecting the GS. If you miss this, you are going to have a hard time getting below 150 mph (max gear down speed) while descending at more than 600 fpm to stay on the GS. Give the cvs pa24 another try. -- Dave Perry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
