asos Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I downloaded Jens B. Kristensen's FS2004 (ACOF) - FS2004 Jetliners FS2004 DeHavilland DH 106 Comet 1 And 2 [ Download | View ] Name: comet_v20.zip and the a/c taxis very slowly--1 to 3 knots. Does anyone know how to fix this? Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napamule2 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Must be your throttle setting for your controller (joystick slider or HOTAS). Taxi is fine at 15 kts. I get it moving with 50% throttle as it IS slightly underpowered and very heavy due to fuel load. Otherwise it's 99.9% good. You need a long runway but it lifts at 90 kts with 2.5 pitch trim and 1 of flaps (try it with no flaps and just pitch trim). This is 1950's airplane with 4 small jet engines so it's not a speed burner. Takes getting used to that's all. I downloaded it and installed it just to see. It could use some tweaks here and there but all in all I like it. If you are going on a short trip you could reduce the fuel load after calculating how much fuel you will need for trip.

asos Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 napamule2, It could not have been my joystick, as other a/c taxied normally. I retried with a couple of flights and taxiiing was normal, 15 knots and more if I thottled up. I still do not know why I had the slow-taxi problem earlier. Thanks for the reply. I will be uploading a modded panel for this a/c soon, with an additional window that will offer easier functionality, similar to the ones I have uploaded here for the Hawker Hunter. See screenshot of it below with the window out. Look for "Tselepides" to find it. I will upload it in a few hours but not know when this site here will put it up... Nick, Athens, Greece.

Allen Craig Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 May I suggest David Maltby's DH106 Comet http://www.dmflightsim.co.uk/ It always taxi's properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
