phil white 274 Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Took this bird up again for a flight across Yorkshire from Full Sutton EGNU to Leeds Bradford EGNM. I grew up in Leeds and had the odd lesson flying out of Leeds Bradford, that was about 25 years ago though. Getting the Piper ready. JF_PA28_Arrow_20 by Philip Whitehead, on Flickr Taxiing out.

Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Nice shots. I just picked this up on sale at a FSPilotShop Halloween sale. Only had time for one take off and landing tonight, but it feels pretty sweet. Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 By the way...as your VC views show well (and I noticed once in the plane itself)...it looks like the pilot's default view is set a wee bit high...lots of front dash showing there and a big angle to look down at the gauges. Odd in that I usually have to set the views a wee bit higher on most aircraft...I am betting the designer is over 6'5" tall. I modified my view section as below: [Views] eyepoint= 0.0, -0.8, 2.3 //2.5 (hopefully that will drop the view by a couple/few inches) zoom=1.0 Cheers. Matt Link to post Share on other sites

No big issues at all and activation was no problem either. Link to post Share on other sites

Matt For these shots i just moved the camera positions slightly but use a more realistic position for flying. Link to post Share on other sites

Only issue I have encountered is the turn and slip indicator ball doesn't move on mine. It has a couple nice extra features in the VC...the door requires two latches to open before you can open the door itself, and the vent window needs to be unlatched, then opened. oh, and I retreated to a setting of 2.4 instead of 2.3 for that final .cfg pilot viewpoint...2.3 was a wee bit too low.
