Has anyone tried it in FSX ?

[mcanx]

Works perfect for me. I'm running FSX-SE. Robert

Anyone else getting "aircraft over-stressed" when starting a flight? I'm starting with 20% fuel in all tanks so fuel weight should not be an issue. Other aircraft work fine.

Every time I start the plane it drops to the ground and gives that message then restarts over and over.

OK, I guess I'm not the only one. I think I'll email Rob and see if there is a cure.

Thanks Wolfee1 and Falcon 409 and All,

Can I take my foot out of my mouth now!!? Please accept my apologies. I didn't look at the second image. I will open my eyes in future!!!

[MrZippy]

@Sieggie or anyone else having a problem with the Prince either bouncing around or just an immediate "overstressed" condition, I have finally found a fix for it. Maybe a bit Mickey Mouse, but I used the aircraft.cfg from the Hunting Percival Pembroke with a few changes to it and it now flies as expected. I haven't heard anything regarding my email to Rob. He may be on holiday or just not responding to emails.

When you said you replaced the aircraft.cfg file I looked to see what in the file could cause an over-stress. I found these were all set to zero so any stress would cause the air frame to collapse. I just picked some larger values but if you look around at similar aircraft you can most likely get better numbers.

[airplane_geometry]
positive_g_limit_flaps_up=4.000000
positive_g_limit_flaps_down=2.000000
negative_g_limit_flaps_up=1.500000
negative_g_limit_flaps_down=1.500000

Good find! No wonder the Pembroke file worked so well! Almost an identical aircraft

positive_g_limit_flaps_up =4.00000 //Design G load tolerance (positive, flaps up)
positive_g_limit_flaps_down=2.80000 //Design G load tolerance (positive, flaps down)
negative_g_limit_flaps_up =-3.20000 //Design G load tolerance (negative, flaps up)
negative_g_limit_flaps_down=-2.40000 //Design G load tolerance (negative, flaps down)
load_safety_factor =1.50000

Had a Chance to Work on This Plane..Took Test Flight In It Also...Was At SKYTOP NY..NY03...On a Turf 1540X110 Runway ..Great STOL,If Tanks Almost Empty LOL...Here With my kids.. This a Great Paint Plane Had Denmark? Not Sure
