Hi folks! I'm a newbie, although I used to fly sailplanes in San Francisco years ago. Now getting back into the hobby.
My cousin gave me his FMS controller and software so I thought I'd try it out. I am discovering that some of the models fly extremely well but others seem to be a waste of time. Some of the planes are too small and disappear before I can return them to the 'field'. Landscapes have too many obstacles to let a 7 year old child to learn with. Wouldn't mind the default landscape if the 'shack' or trees weren't there.
I have no experience in building a virtual landscape or model for that matter.
We will be going to our field near Medford / White City area in Southern Oregon soon with a 'Slo-Stick' to train our young novice pilot. I have a virtual Slo-Stick in my 'hangar' to help train the lad with on the PC but when throttled down the nose drops too much and recovery is too slow causing a crash. Naturally it frustrates our new pilot. Is there a simple way to adjust this so this beginner model is just a tad easier to fly?
We also downloded an 'Ascent' which seems to be a good beginner plane but the rudder turns using left stick only and there are no ailerons on this model.
Would like to alter the Ascent to operate the rudder from the right stick rather than the left one without having to change the 'analog control mapping' each time we load that plane.
Any help would be sincerely appreciated.
Carl
