NMLW Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I like your Convair Jan. Lots of beautiful pics. of it and pretty disk sky colors too. :cool: :cool: :D Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoggyDog Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Wow, Jan, beautiful airplane and paint, and great shots! Is this the "VBF Reloaded" CV-240? If so, does it have horribad flying characteristics in your sim? Here's a litany of my issues with this airplane, and sadly, despite 3 pages of ppl trying to help, it's still basically unflyable for me. I'm hoping that you have either found some fix for the problems I'm having, or you found a better Convair 240 to fly. Thanks again for sharing these great shots! i7-10700K @3.8-5.1GHz, 32GB DDR4-2666 SDRAM, GTR-2060 Super 8GB, 2x SSDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peer01 Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Thanks very much Larry and Dough! :):) Dough, I followed your CV-240 problems and the possible solutions. I use pedals and yoke, and I'm also not impressed by the way this Convair flies. I use the AP as long as I can and I "fight" the bird to the runway. But I like this bird very much, so I use it often.

You're a man after my own heart, Jan. I use a Saitek X45 Stick/Throttle set- the Throttle has a rudder rocker under its handle so I don't need pedals. I love the damn Convair too, and after typing my last reply here, I just had to go get mine (in my new HI-RES!! Ethiopian texture) and fly from Luxor to Jeddah. It was manageable, and now that I've replaced a lot of the panel and tweaked aircraft.cfg elevator & pitch trim authority and longitudinal stability values a bit, it wasn't that bad... plus, as you say, with a working AP to fall back on when your fingers begin cramping from the fight, it's worth flying. Anyway, thanks again for the outstanding screenies. Doug i7-10700K @3.8-5.1GHz, 32GB DDR4-2666 SDRAM, GTR-2060 Super 8GB, 2x SSDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamb Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Beautiful shots Jan, your Convair looks outstanding as well as the sky colors, great post my friend!!! :) Small correction "I use the AP as long as I can and I "fight" the bird to the runway" What you actually meant is (I use the AP as long as I can and I "fight" the bird into the runway) :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfwright Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Terrific series of pictures during your flight to Anette Island. The CV-240 looks great and I loved the colors in the dusk shots. Jim I am a King Air fan. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
