January 24, 201412 yr So guys I posted this in Jcomms X-plane addons thread but I'm having so much fun I wanted to make sure everyone got the scoop on this plane. The site below has the latest version I could locate, (v1.5) with lots of great paints, and if you have the old version, go get the newer one now! If you don't have this plane yet, then what are you waiting for!! :lol: http://www.aerobask.com/index.php We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically......

January 24, 201412 yr I picked this one up a while back, but haven't had a chance to try it out yet. Looks like a great little plane though; hopefully I can take it for a spin this weekend. Who knows--maybe it'll convince me to try the Panthera as well! AVSIM Blog: The Big Tour: A Ridiculously Ambitious Trip Around the World

January 25, 201412 yr It's fun but the autopilot is finicky. At speeds over 250 ias (maybe vmo is lower in real life?) the plane porpoises like crazy. Also some of the clickspots are a nightmare to get to. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

January 25, 201412 yr Just made a flight with the Eclipse, no AP problem here, even at 280 kt IAS. What's your flight model setting ? http://wiki.x-plane.com/Chapter_5:_X-Plane_Menus#Operations_.26_Warnings My setting is 3. Georges - OpenStreetMap - Ubuntu GNU/Linux -
January 25, 201412 yr I haven't tried this very latest version. I'll try and report back. For vmo though I'm talking indicated airspeed (285 seems really fast for a VLJ.) | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

January 25, 201412 yr Ok looks like he fixed the pitching.... 1.5 is working pretty well. The avionics click spots even seem a little better! One thing I'm wondering about.... does the degrees of bank on the attitude indicator seem correct? 30 (the third notch) seems really gentle... more like 15. Normally in this type of glass the third notch is 30 degrees. The far right and left marks would be 60 degrees of bank. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
