Re: Flight Dynamics Editor

Hello Dvir,
I think I might need more information to give a helpful answer? I think you
will need to adjust some values in 1204 of AirEd, but a few questoons first. At
what flight level and speed (Mach?) do you encounter this problem. If your
speed is too low, that might also result in a pitch up attitude. If you are at
the appropriate speed and at cruise altitude, then you probably need to adjust
either angle of incidence or angle of twist under 1204.
There are a lot of parameters to adjust, which is why this area is both time
consuming to learn and apply. Most folks who do flight dynamic editing spent
many many hours over a long period of time before they produced anything
useful. I suspect the same can be said of design programs and paint programs to
some extent. If you really want to learn the .air file, it will finally fall
into place, but you will need a lot of patience and a good tutor.
If you have the manuels for a 747-200, you might see a spec for rudder
deflection angle. Many of these files use an educated guess on some of these
parameters where no manufacturers spec is available. The better educated the
guess, the more like the real aircraft the model will fly.
I hope this helps, and have some patience if you want to learn.

Hello,

I have 747-200 model airplane. I tried to use Flight Dynamics editor to change
the airplane attributes but I notice that there is 1,000,000 attributes to
change and I really dont know what they means.
for example: rudder degree, how the hell should i know the rudder
degree??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
and much more.

one more thing: when i loaded the model in FS2000 I notice that the nose of the

airplane is up and the tail is down like in take off. how shoulf i fix this
problem??

Thnkas
