Propeller/Engine:

  • Changed propeller MOI to increase engine responsivity to match real world aircraft. Fuel flow and thrust were verified and are according to POH.

Ground Effect:

  • Reduced ground effect lift to improve handling on transition, roundout and takeoff rotation

Lift Coefficients:

  • Changed lift coefficients for airplane to match the pitch angles in different flight phases such as Vx climb, Vy climb, glide at 60 knots, stall behaviour, slow flight clean config, slow flight 30º flaps

Changed lift coefficients and ground effect behaviour to better match real-world performance
Engine was too slugish on reaction. Adjusted MOI to match real world responsivity
