drake4896 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Kazunori Ito has a Cirrus SJ 50 in the library for FS9 but the plane doesn't leave the ground for me. I checked the aircraft.cfg file and I see the weight is way off. Has anyone gotten this plane to work in FS9? If so can you share the fix you have for it. I spent hours last night trying different things but I don't have a clue as to how one creates planes. I did get the plane into the air but then it was shaking violently even at 100 knots.

mrzippy Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Could you list the file name for that aircraft? Tried a search but came up empty. Was this the one??? vision_sf50.zip It seemed pretty smooth after takeoff! Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drake4896 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Thank you for the reply. Yes, that is the plane and you can fly it? I don't know why it doesn't work for me. It will not leave the ground in my FS9 sim and I have the update patch as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had a long roll down the runway but lifted into the air fairly smoothly and was fine after gear up and flaps to Zero. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

nadlzfw Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 You might check the aircraft cfg and see if the main landing gear is too far aft of the cg. It should be about a foot aft of cg. Too much and the horizontal stabilizer does not have enough moment arm to push the tail down on take off and the plane just drives forward off the end of the runway.

napamule2 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 nadlzfw, The main landing gear position (lon/lat/vert) is placed where the physical wheels are placed (ie: contact points). You do not use contact point position (or CofG) to do flight dynamics edits. You may use 'Ref Datum' values that are other than '0.000', but that's a different story. You use the airplane geometry and/or air file flight dynamics sections. So your 'assessment' is BOGUS.

So I can't take a look at it to see what might be wrong. I can't figure out what the problem is concerning downloading zip. I NEED THIS ZIP.

napamule2 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Thanks Zippy. Much appreciated. Got it already but I appreciate your help (as always). I go inport it into FSX now (if Firefox did not blow it up). And FS9 too. News at 11. I usually exercise between 4 and 6 pm (PST) but today I took a 2 hr nap instead (ha), which explains the 2 hr delay, as you guys posted right away. Now I am ready to go fly now.
