Does anybody use this lua via FSUIPC? I recall it changes friction and stability parameters for taxi and running up to about 40 knots. I've used it with all my other planes and I like it so far. I can imagine that PMDG 737NGX may have serious inconsistences with it. Has anybody tried and used it with 737NGX?

 

Thanks,

Igor. 

I use it for a long time and never had any problem.

Same here - used it for quite some time w/no problems.

Hi, I'd like to have some more information on what this FSUIPC lua does. Does it dynamically simulate friction on the runway based on dry-wet runway conditions? 

Thank you.

It fixes a couple of big bugs in the default friction model. Out of the box FSX and all its spin-offs require far too power to overcome the standing friction i.e. to get the object moving forward from stood still, once it is moving the sideways friction also is wrong and the object moves sideways (slides) in a cross wind while taxiing far too easily, plus the aircraft feels like its tires are running low on pressure and the aircraft always wants to stop.

 

That is the real basics of the problem and this dynamicfriction.lua fixes it, and yes it does work well with the NGX and all other aircraft in my opinion. Personally I lower the cross over speed where it returns to default frictions from 30 to 20 knots, this stops the NGX taxiing too fast when very lightly loaded.

 

With this fix in place I only have to move the throttles up a few centimetres for 2 or 3 seconds (25-30% N1) and she is on her way, to keep speed up you need to barely blip the levers for a couple seconds every now an again, just as expected in a loaded 737. Taxiing is a lot nicer experience with this fix in place.

Where can we find this LUA script?

 

Thanks,

Bruno

It's inside a zip called lua_examples.zip or plugin_examples.zip if I remember correctly, inside the modules folder, or one of the folders off the modules folders. Sorry I cant check right now I'm not near my FS PC.
