For example, if you are on grass or a dirty surface, you'll need much more power than normal to start moving. The tutorial is automatically created from the checklists and cannot guess all the context you might have configured. It is not as complete on the tutorials as the Cessna, but in my opinion it flies nicer and easier.
FLIGHTGEAR CESSNA 172 TUTORIAL DOWNLOAD
If you find flying the Cessna too "fiddly" on rudder and pitch, as I do, then I'd like to point you to the "Piper PA28-161 Warrior II" (make sure to enable the default fgaddon hangar on the Add-ons-Tab) that you can download in the launcher. This seems to show that the tutorial has a bug, maybe?Īs a new pilot, it is certainly good to try the default C172 and the tutorials first (once they work correctly of course). Also, my sim was on pause - try to hit "p" on the keyboard and see if that helps? But without a running engine, the plane wouldn't move, so that's to be expected. When I tried to use the taxi or takeoff tutorials, I noticed that the engine wasn't running in spite of the tutorial saying it was already on. One detail you left out is which version of flightgear you are using? I don't use tutorials that much, but the C172 developers will certainly help you soon. Help please?Īlso, any tips for new players? How do get a good start in FlightGear?
FLIGHTGEAR CESSNA 172 TUTORIAL HOW TO
Then I felt that if all tutorials were like this, then I would not learn how to fly a cessna.ĭo you guys have any tips, or anything to say about the tutorials? I just wanna know how to fly a cessna and then move to the larger jets. The flight instructor keeps repeating the same "Reduce throttle to 50%, and extend your first degree of flaps." She kept repeating it over again. I skipped to the landing tutorial, but it infuriated me. Even at 100% power, the plane does not move an inch. I have removed the parking brake, tie downs, regular brake, gear chocks, and the joystick lock. In the taxiing tutorial, I CANNOT make the plane move. Sure, I did do some of the tutorials in order, but there were a few glitches.
But, the problem is, I don't know where to start. I have been messing with the Cessna 172 and it was pretty good. Hello, I am a 13 y/o who just downloaded FlightGear 2 days ago.
