Hi folks,

 

I have a strange question. I bought the Virtavia He 111, but while the plane looks, sounds and flies well, I have some issues with the ground handling (plane tends to roll at idle power and to go "over the nose" even when applying brakes minimally). Furthermore, there was no manual delivered with the installer.

 

Now I searched for a kind of Virtavia support forum but found none. Does anybody know how to get support?

 

Many thanks,

Harald

Thanks Jim. It's so common to have support forums nowadays that I totally forgot good old e-mail.

 

By the way, changing some parameters in the aircraft.cfg made thing already better.

Harald, I recently purchased the Virtavia HE-111 and am experiencing the same problems.  I e-mailed Virtavia's tech support (address in JSkorna's post above, but no reply after two weeks).  Can you tell me what changes you made the aircraft.cfg that fixed the problem for you?

 

Thank you and best regards,

Hi dwain7,

 

as far as I remember I changed the contact point as following (changes are in the damping ratio)

 

point.0 = 1, -36.60, 0.00, -0.76, 1600.00, 0, 0.90, 45.0, 0.10, 3.94, 0.44, 3.00, 3.00, 0, 135, 165 //Tail wheel

point.1 = 1, 0.43, -8.74, -8.28, 1600.00, 1, 1.92, 0.00, 0.25, 1.84, 0.55, 9.50, 7.00, 2, 135, 165 //Left MLG

point.2 = 1, 0.42, 8.64, -8.28, 1600.00, 2, 1.92, 0.00, 0.25, 1.84, 0.55, 8.00, 6.50, 3, 135, 165 //Right MLG

 

and in the [brakes] section I changed the values for "toe_brakes_scale" and "differential_braking_scale" both from 1.0 to 0.5.

 

It's not perfect - you have to be very carefully with the brakes though - , but I gave up further testing. I found out that the He-111 has almost no system depth, and this seems to be not state or the art nowadays. I did some flights some months ago but I don't use the He anymore.

 

I hope you enjoy her more than I do!

 

Regards,

Harald
