SimWorks Studio Zenith CH701 recommendation

[MrBitstFlyer 3,874]

 

I never really considered this aircraft before, but their Kodiak is so good I did some research on the Zenith CH701.  It always seemed an aircraft that was not my kind of flying in MSFS.  However, after watching some YouTube videos I decided to buy - its an absolute blast to fly!  Same quality feel as their Kodiak.  I have done some bush flying with it - challenging and fun, wish I had got it earlier!  A nice change of pace from general GA flying I normally do.

Videos I watched...

It is good for low and very, very, very slow but it was made better by Captain Moustache's mod which is sadly no longer available.

Got this in the sale. Lot of fun!

Bu5 can anyone tell me how to turn the copilot off in cockpit view? Can’t find any clickspots.

Remove the weight, either from within MSFS if you sometimes want a copilot or permanently by editing the station load in the flight_model cfg.

Unfortunately removing the weight doesn’t work. Where is the flight.cfg located?
