Hi Dave

I have a prob with the VC as the 2D dials are superimposed over the top of the VC and they don't fit :curse:

And I get blacks when I dial in the pax.have you tried that?

but here is my 2D

The only thing you shoud notice,when you dial in the pax,in vc mode,if the front pax is next to you,you will notice a small red line on the right hand side,this is the edge of the girl pax showing,and i noticed last night,and i have been flying the trislander on and off for the past twelve months,but if all 9 pax are dialed in,from the outside view,they are at the back half of the aircraft,but on the inside,the pax are closer.
if he`s done the same with the weight,then that might be the reason she tries to go to far nose up,my mods made it more controlable,but still seems to go to far nose up.
regards alan.

Hi Alan

I never use VC

The pax prob I get on the Trislander is instead of pax I have solid squares. :huf:

Does that Lydd scheme fit the new model??

I found myself spending a couple of hours mastering it's odd characteristics today. Full of fuel and with the default payload, it handles more like a flying brick than an aircraft but cutting the fuel down and shaving a ton off the payload see's a totally different model. Throttle response under flaps is the exact opposite to what you'd expect.. nose down on throttle increase.. nose up when backing off but with a little trim, you can squeeze it down into some rather small places and grease the landing t'boot I've noticed it shaking itself all over the place although this seems to be more noticeable from the outside than the inside :shock: The 2D doesn't look as sharp as the VC (odd) and may not be what one would consider cutting edge but I reckon he's not changed it a great deal if any over the v1 (it doesn't look very developed). Regardless.. if I can find enough paints for it, the model warrants being a keeper. It's SO odd you just have to like it Wish I felt the same about its smaller brother though :sad:

Yes its on the v3.2 model in the pic.

Its on Avsim as bn-2amk3_lydd.zip

I thought the pitch forward on throttle up was to do with the high mounted rear engine. I've got a funny feeling now though that I doctored the flight dynamics and based them on the ones by FSAviator used on the Roger Guy G-JOEY model.

:think:

Hi Jonbouy,

Many tks for that

The Trislander is pretty unique (it is to me anyway) with this engine configuration so the pitch forward could be a consequence of it

I can certainly appreciate the tail drop on low throttle openings too with a dirty great engine strapped there!! Flap angle is pretty severe too so they all conspire to give an 'interesting' ride :shock:

I admit that I wasn't overly impressed with my first encounter but I can forgive the strange bouncing (even while stopped) and consider it a keeper. I probably won't do too many miles in it (restricted to the VA when we get round to buying some) but it's a nice change.

Right.. I'm off to get a Lydd livery

Hi Dave

One thing I can say is the Trislander is naturally tail heavy when parked

The nose lifts and before the days of the tailprops Aurigny sometimes had staff running across the apron to push a rising nose back down.

I relly mean it.the nosewheel can hover off the ground when parked.

Thinking anout that. it sounds as if with the engines running it would be balanced otherwise it would sit down on the first bump.

That almost says the there is a tendency for the tail engine to push the nose down.....does that make sense

Garry.
have you got a pic,of the pax problem.
As i think you might be missing some texture files.
regards alan.

No Alan

It used to work then one day the PC screwed up and since the that pax prob is there and the VC has another set of dials super imposed.

But I am not bothered with the pax and I never use VC so I've not bothered.

Funny occasionally I will call it up and the VC is OK and sometimes I can have a few pax but then they dissappear.

There are no textures files missing because they will occasionally appear but not often.

I was just curious as to whether anyone else gets this problem.

This nachine hasn't go a propper up and running FS on it so A can't screen shoot really.

Just one of those bizarre things......but thanks nonetheless

Garry.
In that case i would suggest a reinstall of these two aircraft,as my machine played up not long after i had installed my aircraft,but it was another prog i installed after this one that caused me the problems,and corrupted the bn trislander islander aircraft,a reinstall of the islander/trislander aircraft fixed my problem.
This aircraft has a funny way of installing,and takes a lot of care,in order to get it right,and it looks like your computer as screwed up the installation of these aircraft.
