asos Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I downloaded and installed Stuart Green's Sunderland flying boat, sg_sund.zip. Trying to take off from water off Meigs, the aircraft fails to develop speed of over 28 mph and therefore cannot take off... Any ideas how this could be fixed please?

tgibson_new Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 1. Try lowering your fuel load until the plane takes off. 2. Try loading the default Cessna at Sea Tac Flight, then change to the Sunderland and use Go To Airport to get to the water airport, then try to take off. 3. Make sure your aircraft is at maximum RPM by pressing Ctrl F4 before taking off.

copperpen Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 The ASI in the sunderland panel does not seem to work properly. I swapped the panel for the one used in the JBK sandringham and also swapped the AP because I do not like the one used ( default Sperry ) by the sandringham. The Sunderland will unstick at about 110kts using one notch of flap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asos Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 I fixed it by giving it the airfile of hythe_v10.zip--Jens B. Kristensen's Hythe Flying Boat, which is a civil version of the Sunderland. Its readme says: "The Short Hythe was a civil conversion of the Short Sunderland III patrol flying boat of WW2 fame". Now all works like a charm.:):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
