Comments on the Freeware Gems Thread
So many true gems emerging...
It's probably best to keep that thread "clean" without too many comments.
But I could not help saying that after Wild Bill's enthusiastic endorsement of the Yak-18, I am hooked!
<Ctrl>-E? Forget it!
"L" for landing lights? Puh-leaze!
If you need something to really focus the mind, this is for you...
Part of the readme:
• make sure you let the engine stabilize and heat up to at least 110°C before operating at higher rpm. Failure to do so will result in engine damage and/or power loss.
• easy on the throttle - don't make fast changes in rpm
• during descent make sure the engine does not cool down too quickly by cutting power and leaving the cowl flaps fully open. The engine instruments must be checked on a regular basis -
etc
Пожалуйста / Pa'shalusta !
Glad I could help! :wavey:
And I'm even more happy that my humble recommendation raised your interest.
I must admit that I'm no friend of too comprehensive procedures and checklists, and I'll certainly never ever sit at my PC for half an hour programming a FMC, but I love an aircraft that recommends some more skills than just knowing how to make it sound louder...
I know it's a thin line between "too simple" and "deterring system depth", but this Yak (as well as the SF8 Sabre, of course!) embodies the perfect balance between both ends of the spectrum.
