Looks really good Tuckie. Can you just download it or do they send you a hard copy once payment is received? I'd prefer to just download it.

Looks good Tuckie! :)

As far as I see, they send you a hard copy. In my case, at first the shipping from Germany to Spain would cost me 20€, but finally the cost was only 10€... Still expensive for a transport I think...

Maybe it's due the huge scenery, it weights 2 DvD compressed.


I did more videos... the fist one is for Ecodragon, you should test this Pitts, I cannot say if it's good or overmodelled, do the pitts snap roll so fast?

Another one with the Camel; it is not as good as the Rise of Flight one, this apparently has not modelled the powerful gyroscopic effect of the rotative engine, so it spins out easily, while in RoF every spin develops a flat spin and it's hard to exit:

And making a normal test flight in the Cessna 172 SP; I've teste the real thing and when it stalls without power does not bank as in the simulator. Real plane only banks on stall with power applied. Anyway, general behavior is quite good!

What I see on your vid is that there is nearly no aero model. The plane act with itself only and the air does not seems to slow it that much.

In my mem the Pitts had a 270°/sec roll rate so it might be even more snap rolling it ;)

see there ard min 1

Well, there's discussion about the Pitts, I've asked to some Pitts pilots of my aeroclub, some of them reported that the rotations of my video are exagerated, but at least one pilot told that it was really like that, it dependes on the pilot, fully deflecting or not the flight controls.

I hope that Ecodragon comes back and tells us his oppinions, it would be nice that he tests the plane, so he is a Pitts pilot.

Some things must be tuned in this sim anyway...


But it has a lot of potential... just see the wind and a crosswind landing with speed excess:

The damage model is simple, it comes from an RC simulator, but I feel it as acceptable for a civillian simulator:

At least there IS damage model, not like FS and it's "Crash" ridiculous message!

Testing some sutile aspects of flight model...

Adverse yaw in a glider compared to reality:

Propwash test, comparing Aerofly FS with the best Extra 300 expansion for X-Plane 9 and 10.

When I mean that CoD has no propwash, I mean that this effect is not modelled. And this is a must be in a propeller plane simulator!

TomcatViP 01-05-2012 01:27 PM

Don't forget that CoD hve to deal with higher speed and heavier airframe. You can't use basic airfoils calculations to get a representative model (at least if you intend to do a serious work - yuck yuck)

To show us that the prop wash is really an INTEGRATED feature of the FM pls re-test with different load-out (CG) and let's see how it varies.

The damage model is good. Remind me a lot a certain unspecified looking glass product ;)

But what means this savage assault against parked cars ? Is the one of your boss in the lot ?

Maybe that's the problem of the F-18 on this simulator, it behaves Ok but i has no G limits and ir tuns more than the real thing.

I can only say it works in all prop planes. CG and loadouts can't be changed for the moment. Anyway I've re-tested it comparing to X-Plane's Extra 300 Patty Wagstaff edition, and I can say that both planes are the best Extra 300 ever modelled... although X-Plane's one is the Extra 300S and the Aerofly FS one is the 330LX, not exactly the same plane:

Lol! ;)

Thanks for the video's Tuckie, I didn't know about AeroflyFS. It looks like it has some nice features.

Flanker35M 01-09-2012 12:30 PM

S!

Well, this product could turn out to be something with time :) Only shame it is civilian flying which I do not like at all..boring to say the least ;)
