Re: [Flightgear-devel] G115; Was Aircraft issues: dg101g, Lightning
Which motor aircraft do you use for towing ? Given the above figures I suspect you're using the Piper Cub, right ? Did you ever try the Grob G115 ? I've never flown that one, neither in RL nor in FG, but I *guess* it's probably the closest in performance and FDM credibiliy to commonly used towing aircraft. I tried it today and as far as I can tell from a simple setup with mouse-control only I'd say the G115 behaves sufficiently reasonable. BUT I'm _very_ surprised: Don't these birds have neither a speed indicator nor engine gauges on the pilots side of the panel ? Hi Martin, the DG-101G comes with a drag robot - I don't do multiplayer, so I couldn't test aerotow over MP, I just tried to hang behind the robot which itself was flying quite reasonably - just my glider was bouncing around wildly. Without MP, I don't think I have a chance to test aerotow from the other side, or is that implemeted somewhere? Cheers, * Thorsten -- Ridiculously easy VDI.

Finally I've found out that the pilot-viewpoint and -model must be sitting on the wrong side in FlightGear's G-115, because the real G-115 Tutor is supposed to be flown solo from the right seat :-) http://www.raf.mod.uk/equipment/tutorgriffin.cfm Cheers, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -- -- Ridiculously easy VDI.
