Real Flight Radio Control Planes
What you get:
- A airplane with a realistic flight script and 6 RC Channels. You can fly with up to 6 people/planes at same sim.
- Switchable position lights, markers and long glowing tails for good view.
- HUD shows you Distance to plane, Altitude, Vario, Speed, Compass, Artificial Horizont and Throttle
- Remote Control to wear. Includes a pose. Editable, so you can make it fit to yout AV
- Lost Function
What you not get:
Sim crossing. You and your plane have to be in same simulator. In the moment plane cross to next sim, you lost control over it. But: you get control back for walk, fly or teleport in same sim then plane still flyes.. and there you get control back from plane. :-)
Technical:
The RC Planes detect pitch from plane and react with changing speed. Speed has influence to airfoil lift. Maximum horizontal speed is ±9.8m/s. The Airplanes beginning STALL if slower 5m/s excluded the Airbus, he flyes slower (about ±7.5 m/s) and critical low-speed is about ±3.2m/s. All Real Flight scripts simulates crosswinds and turbulences at default. All RC Planes have the same 3.8m wingspan. This because your eyes learn after a while see how far plane is from you see his size. We dident have 3D in sl... The planes goes phantom if they are running and fly more then 4 meters above ground. 2 reason why: Isnt easy see the distance from plane in this 2D world. With a phantom plane you can fly through buildings or some other obstacle. 2nd reason: The server dident calculate collision events and this helps little reduce sim lag. All planes have this (invisible or red/green) 10 meter flex tails. This makes the plane 'bigger' and is necessarily with plane is still represented by the client if plane far away. There is a 'Lost Function' in the script. After 60 seconds no input it will destroy it self.
This planes are not made for akro flight. Just quiet crusing... Some future models maybee akro suited
Instructions:
- Wear the HUD (Vario: 1 beep/sec = 10m, 2 beep/sec = 5 m... 5 longer beeps if lower then 1 meter above ground))
- Wear the Remote Control (detach your AO before)
- Rezz the plane
- Touch Airplane to get menu
- Go to mouse look while flying.
Flying:
-Mimimum take off speed with throttle 80%
-Crusing speed with 70-100% throttle. 80% looks good...
-Approach flight speed with 60% throttle. Final approche with 50% throttle
-Take down throttle: 40%
Hints:
While slow flying add 10% trhottle while turns, because plane lost speed in curves
Switch tails on for (night) flying. Helps see how is your plane in the air
Open mini map and zoom on sim you stay. The green dot is you plane...
Note:
If you switching RC Channels make sure you are close to your plane and no other user with a RC plane from Real Flight is closer then 15 meters!!! Plane and HUD remember his channel after rezz again from your inventar.
If you lost your plane in same sim and want get back avatar movement control: just do nothing for 60 seconds.
if plane/HUD communication not working: Reset the plane and remote from the plane menu chosing 'reset' (touch plane)
Warnings:
Dont cross sim borders. You lose control over you plane! Plane will destroy itself after 60 Seconds no control input.
