The interior model of the Icon and Stearman have been updated

The Stearman compass seems easier to read and has the Icon always had a parachute?

May I ask which awards did you lose?

 

Nothing too great. I had already done the Wedding Party and got the Ukulele Award. I still had the Wedding Party (Coconut Bra or some such) but the Ukulele Award I have just done again.

 

Another was 'Sickening' but I have sickened loads (my wife seems to agree...)

I have noticed that if I switch off the engine in flight the landing gear pops out in the Mustang.

Can someone confirm that????

If you shut off the engine in flight using the B key in any plane with retractable gear, the gear will lower. If you want to shut off the engine without lowering the gear, pull the mixture back to zero.

Yes, but I don't know the key combination for that (if there is one). :D I'm always adjustng the mixture, so I know that one. Well, it's on a wheel on my joystick anyway.

 

Hint: After you shut off the engine, pull the prop back all the way. You'll glide farther. Control-F2.

wow - thanks all - some good tips :Peace:

 

I was just wondering whether the wheels poped out before the patch as I have realized today....

@Hook: I think that was a yes....

With the RV the flaps will retract and the landing roll will be very very shot if you use the "B" key. Some times that is good if you don't want to roll far. But it has always been that way.

The P51 does the very same thing if one kills the engine upon landing with the B key.

I noticed that and was wondering if the real one required the flaps to have power or they would retract.

The short roll after shutdown is because the b key also applies the parking brake. I also discovered that quickly cycling off then on again with the b key while in the air is a great quick way to center your elevator trim.

How do you get the Ukulele Award? I have done Wedding Party twice now and haven't got it. The mission end and goes to a cut scene once I land and get close to the yaht.

You get the Ukulele by flying without skipping to way point. You "listen politely" to her playing.

Thanks. I guess I must of hit the "N" the first time I did the mission.

My toe brakes still does not work on my Saitek pedals. Do they work for anyone else?

Thanks, Ron Fields
