DC Designs Stearman out!...

[Target71 115]

I told myself I didn't need another plane this month...but I am a sucker for the old ones. I have the GAS Stearman for FSX which is a great add on, and this compares favorably in FD and after the coming patch for roll rate and drag I think it will be spot on. As far as visuals go...fuggedaboutit!!!

This is John Mohr's "restored to stock" 1943 Stearman.  It is actually a lot more agile than you would think.

[Chock 17,769]

It's a default included livery

Setting "Wear and tear" before flight to around 60 to 70% makes a big difference to short field landings.

 

 

Basically it adds parasitic drag which will have an adverse effect on top speed but makes up for the generic lack of prop drag in MSFS.  This issue effects a lot of aircraft that lack flaps.  Short field landings without "wear and tear" can be a bit of a barnstorm affair with S turns and side slipping and lots of floating.

The video below is with 70% wear and tear at Murchison.  It needed  a long/extended final and was pretty dead stick but with 70% wear and tear it was possible to get down from circuit height without any crazy antics.

oh wow, thats a great hint, going to try, because yes its hard to loose speed without flaps .

It's in the Market Place now for those that care like me. Time to get a PT-17 Stearman 75 🙂

[Pugilist2 880]

Thanks for the heads up! Heading to the Market Place to purchase.

Stupid stuff you can do in MSFS that would get you arrested IRL

Sedona, love this aircraft. If you like good sounds, and low and slow. For $14.99, get it!

I almost made it from Manchester to the ocean before I left my head🙃 on a bridge while the plane kept going...

No smoke yet, but particle effects ( and instructions on how to create them ) are coming to MSFS soon so it's something that I would very much like to add 🙂
