Alright - so I lied - I was ready to try all those steps to get the SSJ100 working. After all the steps, yes it is working…but it still has some issues and probably isn’t worth all the effort for the results. The textures and reflections are cleaned up, some of the object artifacts are gone, and I think if you flew it in 2D you could use the pop-up FMC. As well, the SASL fix makes the sounds work better. It is a bunch of edits to the .ACF file through Plane Maker. Not hard…but takes some time.
Again, I’m just sad the developer isn’t keeping his baby up to the task…because it really is a great plane…
She taxis really nice. Be sure to remember to unlock the nosewheel steering for taxi and lock it for takeoff or the nosewheel won’t retract…(ask me how I know!)…
This is a mouse only cockpit in VR…the VR manipulators use the old green/red line push/pull logic that isn’t very useful…
Kind of reminds me of the Honeywell Primus 1000…I like it. Here we are at 150 knots…autothrottle on, autopilot on, HDG to intercept the ILS into Flagstaff, AZ. Autopilot/autothrottle worked great. Hand flying is really nice with an on-the-rails FBW system that works great.
Moody…
Anyway…yeah…just a darn shame it won’t be supported at all…
Still tooling around through my virtual hangar…and remember this little freeware gem…the Let L-410 Turbolet. An awesome short field operator with a really high quality cockpit. The texturing is phenomenal. Fantastic in VR too…
Very Mu-2-ish feel to it…engines screaming and kind of a wobbly ground presence to it…
A real performer though…can get out of any strip of dirt or pavement…
Fun stuff…
