The Cessna 150L
A basic trainer aircraft, the Cessna 150 is the must have trainer for the FG1 program. Several of these are flying overhead close to VCCC (Ratmalana Airport, Colombo. Sri Lanka's first international airport.
To start, click hot start button, then space bar. Then press S. If this does not work, operate the primer push control on the left side of the cockpit 6 times, then press S for start and increase the throttle.
The default aircraft was low on power, increasing the engine power to 160hp artificially corrected the climb performance to realistic levels. The problem lies with the Engine/Prop simulation parameters.
Changes Planned:
Add Pilot - using a separate .3ds model, xml file and positioning

Change outside paint
Increase engine setting to 160 or 200 hp, to compensate for low thrust in the system (140 lb compared to should be 400 lb)
