Flight model.

[VonMessa]

A large majority of period aircraft had tail wheel locks that were engaged before takeoff.  Some of the others had fixed tail wheels.  In the P-51, this was done when pulling back on the stick.  On others, it was a lock engaged by a lever or switch.  There is method to HTC's madness after all.

The one in the TA 152 is broken

then you fly your first jet and turn the yaw damper on and don't touch the rudder pedals till you turn it off again. so yes some "things" do this too and it is easy mode in real life.

Yes, I failed to take modern jets into account while answering a question about Aces High flight modeling.

I think the auto-landing is buggered...I keep bouncing and sometimes break the landing gear.  HTC, please fix the auto-landing system!!!!1!11!!!

This guy does!!  Man I swear, flew an hour with Kevin in the T-6 doing acro -- I had to tap the Turn and Slip because I didn't think it functioned.  He is very much in tune with the airplane.  As soon as I started flying I was slapping the ends out of the tube with the ball -- no doubt that it wasn't stuck.

colmbo , ever have those days where the air had been bumpy for a while, then later became glass. After a while your feet and toes  are becoming tired and sore  then you realized you have had them both pushing hard on the rudders to cut down on the fish tailing?

I showed a buddy of mine The AcesHigh Flight Model. I thought I'd start light and off for his first flight in a Hurri.

His first observation; "Since when does a Hurricane have a stall horn!"

See here:

Though not realistic, I think it helps make up for not being able to really "feel" the aircraft.  Even with WB, I don't take it as a literal stall horn, but more of an indicator as to the feeling of the aircraft - - same deal the the little attitude tick-marks... (just as long as it's not WAY overdone like in Fighters Squadron).

I changed the stall horn .wav to a wind buffet .wav a long time ago.  As the buffeting sound gets louder I know I am closer to the stall.

[Krusty]

I went the opposite route of the "buffet". I turned off the featured stall buffet sound because it sounded really annoying, like a toy machine gun noise machine was going off. Turned it all the way down. Then I turned stall horn down so that when stalling it's not the loudest thing in the cockpit. It makes a subtle hint for me and I can still notice it, but I'm not relying on it. I don't want the wind to mix in with high speed diving sounds, etc.

It beats waiting for the chair to move.

LOL!  Yep.

[Chauncy]

In an effort to teach myself to pay attention to the stall alarm I replaced the default .wav with one of my mother-in-law nagging me.

Now you can see why/how I get shot down so much.  I would rather die than put my acft into a stall to evade.
