Feature of the Month
Due to Hurricane Charley in
I’m going to revisit one of the old features
that we had a few years ago at the Southern Division.
Flying the Ford
Tri-Motor on the TAT Route.
The FS2002 scenery download seems to work in
FS 9, except that AI aircraft are floating about 20 feet in the air at Waynoka,
OK and Wichita, KS (the only airports I’ve checked so far). No problem, turn off AI aircraft. The skies were pretty empty in 1929 anyway.
For FS 2004 I have modified the airfile
and aircraft.cfg for Pierino Primavesi’s Ford Tri-Motor. Neutral Trim shows on the panel as between 1
and 2 notches of up trim. So give it two
notches of up trim for take off.
