WHAT(!) was I thinking/smoking?
Found my ARC-80 manual and it sez: "Trailingwire (0 to 145 feet) ejected and retracted at 70 feet/minute (minimum speed)." Case closed! :redf:
"...not sure of the ultimate value. The wire would have to be segmented every 5-6', and each segment must be animated to hide it inside the aircraft. So, probably 10 animated wire segments to wrap/unwrap, and guide it out of/into the aircraft. Yes, can be done but ultimately to what end. That's why I chose the shortest of the lengths."
Grateful for what you've done. I'm not gonna argue! :icon_lol:

Hiya,
Did some test flying with the ops-manual at hand. Things i noticed so far:
- Plane is very unstable when parkingbrake is on, vibrates a lot and sometime start to jump, fixed this by updating the MOI (values suggested by AirWrench tool):
empty_weight_pitch_MOI = 85000
empty_weight_roll_MOI = 57500
empty_weight_yaw_MOI = 112500
- Plane seems to be overpowered in cruise and underpowered in climb. :icon_eek: Tried some tweaking to fix this but not much success so far <g>.
- Already reported i believe, tailhook value is to short, show be:
[TailHook]
tailhook_length=7.9
Now back to test flying :-)

no light being shed....ideas anyone?

Gentlemen this has become most frustrating. After spending a fair few hours/days getting the appearance of a powerful searchlight, it suddenly dawned on me that no directional cast light was actually being shed.
Initially assigned in the lights section as a landing light, as in the picture on the right, I eventually discovered that the light being cast was actually coming from the small, 'built in' one on the model.
So I opted for strobe assignment (lefthand pic) and my suspicion was thus confirmed.
Finally, I experimented with a host of landing lights known to be effective (example; middle pic). Still no light!
What am I doing wrong??? :sleep:
edit: This pic shows a B-17 using the stock landing lights in the above pics; 2 & 3.
Probably a dumb question but could the model's 'in-built' landing light be overriding the designation of an extra landing light?
