June 9, 20214 yr New version: lets give it another try. https://flightsim.to/file/13052/vertigo-turbo-prop-racer Vertigo likes to go fast, low and kick some dust. Inspired by Mike Patey's "Turbulence", she has the same blood running through her veins: the legendary PT6A 850HP turbine engine. Add to that a 6 bladed constant speed prop plus a composite airframe and you've got a competitive racer. Note: disable Auto Rudder (Assistance menu) as it causes tail-wagging in-flight and odd steering behavior on the ground. This update takes full advantage of all this goodness! Super stable ground handling, take-off roll easy as pie (30% throttle is enough, trim well before starting your roll) Execute the famous Knife Edge aerobatic move, and hold it for the entire runway length! Most accurate flight model yet for Vertigo Fixed trim balance issue Slightly reduced flap drag Excellent balance of aerodynamic forces Cheers bs Edited June 9, 20214 yr by bean_sprout AMD RYZEN 9 5900X 12 CORE CPU - ZOTAC RTX 3060Ti GPU - NZXT H510i ELITE CASE - EVO M.2 970 500GB DRIVE - 32GB XTREEM 4000 MEM - XPG GOLD 80+ 650 WATT PS - NZXT 280 HYBRID COOLER
June 10, 20214 yr Author Yep and it handles much better IMO. Cheers bs AMD RYZEN 9 5900X 12 CORE CPU - ZOTAC RTX 3060Ti GPU - NZXT H510i ELITE CASE - EVO M.2 970 500GB DRIVE - 32GB XTREEM 4000 MEM - XPG GOLD 80+ 650 WATT PS - NZXT 280 HYBRID COOLER
June 10, 20214 yr There is something about this one I like. Maybe it's just the idea of 850 shaft horse tacked onto the front of a plane that I like. I wonder -- one of those big Russian turboprop engines -- the ones on the Tu-95 Bear -- how fast and powerful would a small airplane be that had one of THOSE powering it? I guess it wouldn't be a small airplane then. A flying engine with a pilot strapped to it. Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB
June 10, 20214 yr Author Gave it an honest shot but ended up going back to the Beech G36 (with mods) that is my favorite plane for now. It is one of those I had a dream things because I was very close to building a LanceAir 320 back in the day.
