Standard Flight Gear Models Modified for FG1
The Flight Gear models listed below, and linked to a download site, are intended as enhanced models for the Flight Gear 1 and also the current Flgiht Gear version.
Changed/Improved textures or materials
Changed/ Improved interior materials/ shapes / textures
Pilot added (from standard tespilot.ac but improved)
Performance checked and changed for realism
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
Improve Seats
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)
Original model in landing
Full panel, but could be greyer
Grey paint - rough painting of texture map
Pilatus PC-7

Kawasaki T-4
Kawasaki T-4
A nicely executed 3D model and interior, with pilots appearing only in the outside view. Flying is trick - overspeeding risks loss of control in roll and speed must be kept up on approach as this plane tends to lose speed quickly at low power. The T-4 is works as downloaded, I used this fact to carry out two flights, unfortunately one ended in an over-speed roll and a rash caned the other two ended in low speed stalls and crashes. I finally managed to make a long, slow approach at about 160kt to KHAF and landed short of the runway, slowing down very quickly after landing at 100kt. Using the autopilot and disconnecting upsets the controls and trim, so better not to use it. Overall easy to fly and the landing speed of 100kt is about accurate, from the real thing.
