FSX/P3D v4/v5 Native Cessna 172 Float Plane Fix

Hi, I applied the fix however the rudder sensitivity is virtually non-responsive. Yes I have "dropped" the rudders (ctrl W), but the condition remains the same. I do have other float planes and the rudder response is normal. Any suggestions? Thanks, nice model BTW!

Thanks for the fix.

UPDATE: I self discovered a fix for the under-steering water rudders. If you need it, let me know via comment and I will post the repair in this comment area.

Tx Case, for your comments on the water rudders. Yes, it would be nice if you post the fix.

Hi afscrub,

To enhance the water rudder response the fix is rather simple:

 

1) Open the Aircraft CFG file

 

2) Scroll down to [contact points]

 

3) REPLACE (copy and paste) the original points; 8=5 and 9=5 with the ones below.

 

point.8=5,-15.106, -4.534, -8.500, 2165.354, 0.000, 0.000, 20.0, 0.635, 2.500, 0.709, 0.000, 0.000, 2.000, 0.000, 0.000

point.9=5,-15.106, 4.534, -8.500, 2165.354, 0.000, 0.000, 20.0, 0.635, 2.500, 0.709, 0.000, 0.000, 3.000, 0.000, 0.000

 

4) Save/replace the now modified CFG file.

 

This fix should render a more responsive control when using the water rudders and will not impact the in-flight rudder control.

 

Happy flying, Case

Hey AFScrub,

FYI: Just noticed that while the flaps do appear to work, they do not visually drop when engaged as viewed from outside the aircraft. The instrument panel flap switch does work.

Did the water rudder sensitivity change work for you?

Hey OOPS, PLEASE ignore the above post. My mistake, the flaps do engage and visually drop. I was having a computer hiccup!

 

Best, Case
