February 24, 20197 yr A very good day, I need help regarding how can I fine tune the aircraft behavior. I''m familiar with P3D [flight tuning] section but on XP 11 I can't find this section and don't know how to adjust certain sections. Would be possible for a guidance (education) as to where do I have to go to adjust the values and the correct section names for [flight_tuning] cruise_lift_scalar = 1.0 parasite_drag_scalar = 1.0 induced_drag_scalar = 1.0 elevator_effectiveness = 1.0 aileron_effectiveness = 1.0 rudder_effectiveness = 1.0 pitch_stability = 1 roll_stability = 2 yaw_stability = 3 elevator_trim_effectiveness = 1 aileron_trim_effectiveness = 1.0 rudder_trim_effectiveness = 1.0 To be honest this is an issue for me that is preventing changing over to XP11, some airplanes characteristics (IMHO) need to be adjusted. Thank you! Freshly retired after 41 unforgettable years on the Boeing 747. The flying days may be behind me, but the memories never will be. Now I have the privilege of sharing those experiences—and continuing to learn alongside the next generation of pilots—in the Level D simulator.

February 24, 20197 yr Some of them can be changed by opening the aircraft in plane-maker. Parasite_drag_scalar -> change fuselage Cd0. Cruise_lift_scalar -> change the angle of incidence of main wings. Elevator/aileron/rudder_effectiveness -> change the max deflection or chord of the respective control surface Trim_effectiveness -> change the trim values in the "trim" section in plane-maker. Don't have access to x-plane right now, but you should be able to find the relevant entries if you have a look at plane-maker.

February 24, 20197 yr Author Thank you Murmur, much appreciated, I'll give it a try. Is anybody else with more suggestions on this topic. Thank you!
