qhfreddy wrote in Mon Jan 13, 2014 2:59 am:In regards to your concern Vincent, I was trying to solve that, and also improve the weight balance with a few modifications to the FDM, but I couldn't get the YASim solution to work with it.
Update/Edit:
I did a little work on Andino's FDM, and after some testing with the YASim command line solver and the sim, found that the wing was mounted quite far back on the aircraft. Also, the problem with the landing speeds seemed to be related to the flap lift ratio.
With that, I turned back to my broken FDM and fixed it. I have the landing speed at around 130kt with a reasonable load. Also, I tweaked the volumes of the engines in the sound.xml as they were rather quiet. Other smaller tweaks include moving the cockpit view slightly upwards, changing the passenger viewpoint, increasing the flap deployment time (it was VERY fast), and some engine RPM tweaks. I intend to do some testing as far as the range of the aircraft goes, to adjust the fuel consumption of the engine.
The three files in the .zip should be compatible with the most recent version, please tell me if they are not. (remember the sound.xml does go in the sound folder)
The sound tweaks are also included below.

Kind regards, Vincent
