Hi JMH, with a bit more sinkrate in Idle it would be Perfect, close to my real plane🙃

Hi JMH, with a bit more sinkrate in Idle it would be Perfect, close to my real plane🙃 Hi! Your timing is perfect! as we speak, I am trying to get the sink rate a bit higher (not in a very slow speed, when it seems to be fine, but in the final-approach/normal gliding speed regime). This can be achieved by several different approaches, and I don't want to compromise the current high-speed performance...so it might take me couple of weeks to reach (or couple of minutes...). Have you tried to test/evaluate it's performance with a higher weight settings? (to set it with maximum takeoff weight, or a bit lower). I think that it tends to meet it's target flying characteristics when loaded (from half-way to fully loaded). I may set a new weight so when you open the aircraft, you will not get a default, minimum weighted aircraft...

Yes, i fly usually with 100kg Load and 40kg fuel (This is my Realworld Scenario). In the real Thing 1000 feet descending in Final is no Problem with Full Flaps. Even with max Payload, dead engine and full Tanks the EFox flys like there is no Gravity... The all over Performance (Powersetting/Speed) is similar to mine. Only the Fuelconsumption is 20 % higher as in the Simulation. No wait, did you changed that??? Got to check this... I burn in my D-ETHN between 13 and 15 L/h with approx. 4600-4700U/min and get 155km/h IAS, 10-11 L/h with 4200 U/min and 140km/h IAS. And D-ETHN is more a girl around the vertical Axis. You have to steer here anytime... Another Thing: Did You found the reason for the starter item? Still turning endless if using the option Start engine from the Menu. Greetings Tom

Hi Tom, Thanks for the useful information! (as always!) I did tuned the fuel consumption the other day... but I will take a look at it soon. The starter issue has something to do with X-Plane...If you start the engine using the menu,the starter is running "forever", but once you are advancing the throttle or "playing" with the starter switch, the starter is seize to engage... I will run some more tests to see how or if it could be solved...I will report a bug to LM, if needed. All of these issues to be covered in the next update (which I plan, if everything will go smooth, to include also a bush-plane version of the EuroFOX).

Hi,
I thought I red something somewhere about a tundra version...

hi JMH, one more thing.....;o) The Frontwheeltire on the real Plane is a lot smaller than the two mainwheeltires. Makes sense. I was wondering, why the overall Impression of the Simulation seems to me slightly different to the Original. This was it. Not important. Tom

I was wondering, why the overall Impression of the Simulation seems to me slightly different to the Original. This was it. Not important. Tom Hi Tom It is not an impression, but a true fact. All wheels in my EuroFOX are in the same diameter and width (the nose wheel fairing is slightly smaller though). When creating the EuroFOX, I had to make some choices (landing gears was on of the aspects). I realized that the EuroFOX is very versatile in terms of 'special configurations', internal (cockpit panel) but also external. I saw versions of the Tricycle Eurofox with Tundra tires (I love it!), and lot's of different variations. The 'standard' variation of the tricycle version though, comes with a smaller nose wheel tires and fairing, as you had described. I was aware of it and chose it to be in the same size not for a particular reason, I must say... I might change it...I don't know in which direction this project will evolve, as I'm slowly but constantly widening it and improving it. Here are some (nice) photos showing the variety of tire configurations, first is the one showing the 'standard' as described in your note:

Thanks for the update. The tundra 220 is a blast.

Hi there,
first of all i want to thank you for that great ul-plane to become to xplane 11! It is awesome to fly that plane in the xplane11. I dont know about the reality but i think from the flying in the xplane it is more than the truch. I fly the aeroprakt a22 and the c42 for privat (and by my job the Eurocopter EC135) for real so i think your EF is a great option for flying such ul planes! Awewsome great job on that plane! Keep it on! Greetings from germany

Hi Andre, Thanks! The Aeroprakt is an amazing UL! It is on my "waiting list". Maybe I'll get to it after completing the initial version of the Tecnam P2006T. Thanks again for your feedback! I appreciate it very much!

Hi JetManHuss, is there a option to get a .psd file for repainting the EF? Thanks for your reply Greetings André

Hi, I love the new tail-daggers. Two bits of feedback:
(1) The flaps don't seem to do much as far as increasing the angle of decent. (2) I turned on the angle of attack data-out and noticed that for most speeds at level flight, the AoA is negative. Only when below 60 kts is the AoA in positive territory. This strikes me as odd and is very different than other models I've seen.
