2 Little issues: If you use the Main MenΓΌ to geht the Engine Running, the starter keeps running until manually switched back. And i increase the Fuel consumption 20% to geht real Values. Would like your Values in the real Thing. π Hi! The first note (the need for manually switch the stater back) is interesting...I will get this issue checked soon. It may have to do with X-Plane (if so, I will issue a bug report to Laminar Research). Not sure though...will check it out. The second note regarding fuel consumption - I agree; I have plans to adjust the settings not only theoretically (by the calculations of the specific fuel consumption), but practically, to obtain (and confirm) the needed endurance and range values. So, this issue is going to be dealt with very deeply during the next couple of weeks and I will update it to the needed (confirmed) values. It involves actual operation of the EuroFOX...and even a "minor" incorrect drag coefficients of one/some of the parts might affect it's operation range dramatically (even if the theoretic calculated SFC is correct). Thanks mate

Thousands of hours of experience? I'm impressed! That's why you take care so deeply to the flight model (but with a 3d model extremely well done), an issue that most developers often do not cure.

Thanks But there is a catch: as you are more experienced in flying real airplanes (in various or extreme situations...towards the flight envelope edges), you can point out more and more inaccurate issues in the simulation environment. But because X-Plane is so dynamic and flexible...if you try hard enough, you might get a pretty good result within its limitations. Sometimes you have or need to make some compromises, depending on what the project is about...

Great fun! I just saw this on Froogle and bought it straightaway. I was delighted to see that the taildragger version is already available. My first flight took me straight back 20 years, to when I owned a taildragger microlight. It reminded me of a few important lessons pretty quickly too: 1) Don't step on the brakes! 2) Wind limits really are limits! After scaring myself silly in a strong crosswind I went for a lazy summer's evening flight and it was a joy. It's just the right machine to keep at a detailed small airport. Thank you.

Hi JMH, today I tried to use the switches for the Wingtanks. Maybe i am confused, but it seems to work somehow funny.... In the W&B Dialog i drained the left tank empty. In the Plane actually the empty tank was the right. Optical. But the engine stopped if i use only the optical half full left tank. And it runs with the optical empty right tank. You got it? Not easy to explain... I guess there is something reversed.... Greetings Tom

Hi Ok. Got your explanation. It should work right, but, of course,I'll test it thoroughly in a couple of hours and write my answer in this post. If something is reversed...it will be fixed ASAP! Thanks!

It seems that for some reason, the fuel level gauges are showing the fuel remained in the opposite tank. This is weird (!?!!??!)... Thanks for that useful observation! I will fix it very soon, and run some more tests in the fuel system. An update with the fix will be ready within the next 24 hours!

Hi! Problem was fixed, and the update was sent to its way! Fuel tanks now showing correct quantities. Thank you Tom for the heads up on this one!

Good evening, I've noticed that this aircraft requires a good deal of left rudder on takeoff, which is opposite to what I'm used to in many other aircraft like Cessnas. Does this model's propeller rotate counter-clockwise from the pilot's perspective or whichever way is opposite of a Cessna? Can someone here help me understand why this model behaves this way? I'm truly just very curious on how the flight modeling works. I used to fly in a Eurofox many years ago and I don't remember the need for left rudder on takeoff. It certainly has been a long time though so I could be remembering it wrong. Thank you very much for the superb product and dedication to your customers. I really wish more developers ran their projects this way. Best Regards, Eric

I really wish more developers ran their projects this way. Best Regards, Eric Hi Eric!, oh!!! Nothing's wrong on your side! Although I've set the visible propeller to rotate and animate in the correct manner (counter clock wise when looking at the p.t.o. side of the engine), I've fixed the internal flight model's propeller to turn in the opposite direction (!) (same goes of the Phoenix glider). It must have been too much Caffeine running in my veins in those (amazing) days of hard-core development for these two models... . It is an easy fix and I will post an update for both EuroFOX and Phoenix ASAP! Thanks for writing this down!
