Freeware Cessna 150

Hello all,
I recall someone posting a aircraft.cfg mod in the 'old' forums relating to the unrealistically strong takeoff torque/P-factor for the excellent freeware Cessna 150 by Guidee Francois-Denis & Franckart Yves & team. I've searched but can't seem to uncover the post. Not sure if it was one of the topics lost during the last server crash?

I adore this plane in FS...but as someone who learned to fly in 150s, this aspect of the plane's flight modeling just doesn't seem realistic to me. If anyone knows the mod or can point out the right variables to modify in the .cfg file, I'd much appreciate it!

Thanks! :wavey:



 
I believe you can tweak these settings:

[flight_tuning]
cruise_lift_scalar=1.0
parasite_drag_scalar=1.0
induced_drag_scalar=1.1
elevator_effectiveness=1.0
aileron_effectiveness=1.0
rudder_effectiveness=1.0
pitch_stability=1.0
roll_stability=1.0
yaw_stability=1.0
elevator_trim_effectiveness=1.0
aileron_trim_effectiveness=1.0
rudder_trim_effectiveness=1.0
p_factor_on_yaw=1.0
torque_on_roll=1.0

gyro_precession_on_roll=1.0
gyro_precession_on_yaw=1.0
