Tinmouse FDE (pitch & bank control)

Featured Replies

I really love this bird, it is a joy to fly - no question.The point I am curious to know more is if the overall feeling during manual control was intended to be so agile.I know the 737-200 is smaller and its weight is much less than her later NG-generations (600, 700, 800). But if you compare the PMDG or the PIC 737 with your one, there is a significant difference between them. The 200 seems to be agile like a fighter plane. Even in low speed conditions you can reach very fast roll rates. Further more, in stall speed conditions the ailerons are so effective, you can put the nose anywhere, it will follow your inputs. I also like (or better love) the Dreamfleet 727 with its excellent flight dynamics. The 727 is very heavy, take-off weights are mostly more than twice but compared to the 737... again, it is like a fighter plane on the one hand and a A380 on the other.I recently had a look at the aircraft.cfg and behind the MOIs you find some numbers in () with higher values for Pitch MOI and bank MOI. I changed to those higher values and subjectively it felt better - although this is an impression of someone without real airliner cockpit experience!Are there any inputs from real 737-200 pilots who are also familiar with flight simulator? People, who know a Dreamfleet or a PIC 737-300 oder PMDG as well? One of those most written comments on new add-ons are: "tested by real pilots". I often doubt if those pilots are familiar enough with the FS environment and if they take it serious enough or just of a quick check of the performance numbers.

being the plane that the 737-200 is,and seeing the usage,I'd guess the numbers are pretty accurate.I also think the developers of the plane are competent enough to have a 737-200 that flies like a 737-200 within the constraints of the sim.The Wilco 737 classic flies -on my pc- pretty much the same,as does the PMDG 737.They are all pretty agile planes,and they all fly rocksteady,for me.
