Alternative FDE May 13, 2019

This covers the base, amphibian, ski and tundra models ( no STOL ). The expansion pack will be posted in that support forum, possibly in a couple of days.

This mostly addresses concerns from customers regarding the ability to lift the tail on takeoff. The problem was traced to 3 main areas. The wing wasn't lifting enough, the horizontal tail efficiency was a bit low and there was no propwash over the tail. The original config and air files are backed up in the zip file. You will need to cut and paste any liveries you may have added to the config file. Finally, some interior passenger views were added.

Yes, I know you have been waiting! ;)

I apologize for the delay. There is lots going on behind the scenes. I think there are about 7 different flight models that I'm working on right now.

Thanks wells!

Any chance this will become an option in the Beaver's MVAMs control panel?

Ha, I tried to squeeze it in. I knew I shouldn't have committed to a date. The PC-6 is out and now need to work on the King Air. I'll get to it as soon as I can. It is not "official", and so the other projects take priority.
