Fms 3d

[warren79]

Hi guys,im new to rc and never flown yet.Ive been using FMS to get use to the sticks and ill probably go for my 1st flight in about 2weeks.I have the demo of G3 and am saving up for it.I want to know if G3 is a good program for practicing 3D flying or is there something better.On FMS i can do a bunch of 3D moanouvers like harriers,slow rolls,rolling circles,hovers.Has anyone done a torque roll on FMS.Is it even possible to do it on FMS.(NOTE: 3D can only be done on FMS if you download the 3D planes for it.)

Yes, that's how I became comfortable torque rolling at low altitude. FMS 2.8 has several airplanes here: http://www.rc-sim.de to choose from. You'll need to sign up (I think it's still free with suggested donation). One of my favorites is the CAP 232 but they also have several shockie downloads. Sometimes the guys don't build the PAR file right and they'll torque roll the wrong direction so make sure it torques counter clockwise (looking from cockpit).

Actually the torque-roll should be different for European aircraft compared to US aircraft as the propellers rotate in different directions. Something you need to be aware of as a pilot who flys aircraft from different countries.

That link says english or dutch but it only gives german.No models found there.How long can you T-roll and can you use stick mixing in FMS.

Hi guys,im new to rc and never flown yet.Ive been using FMS to get use to the sticks and ill probably go for my 1st flight in about 2weeks.Are you going to use an experienced trainer/buddy box or go it alone? I am self-taught via FMS myself. If you go it alone, I must caution you - it only gives you the proper coordination skills for stick movements. I started electric with a Superstar EP. Thank goodness it has fairly strong landing gear as takoff and flying are easy after sim training, but landings can only be learned by actually doing. :rolleyes: A nice stable trainer is the way to start, and electric is safer, though you should still start with plenty of room and no people or property around. I also had the benefit of being able to hang with a bunch of experienced pilots - both full scale and RC. The information I've gotten from them has proved just as valuable (if not more valuable) as the simulator time. ;) As you can see by my avitar, I've now graduated to glow after 3 years of electric flight - only used a buddy box once, 'cause it wasn't my plane (first glow powered flight to see if I'd like it). The trainer pilot never let go of the switch. :D

Im nto going alone.I want a trainer cause i want to learn the proper way to fly, land pre-check,etc.Once im comfy with that il go solo.

Im using a sim tx with FMS.I have a JR 2610 and want to no if the dual rates works on FMS.

[ggunners]

If the JR transmitter has dual rates, it'll pass along the dual rate information to FMS. You may want to uncheck the [EXP] exponential button in the calibration area for FMS and if you're doing any mixing, turn off the mixer in any .par files.

It's deutsche which is German. Some of the stuff is still in German but enough is in English to navigate.
