FLYING:
The flight model is based on the Cessna 182, but created
using the Experimental Prop Aircraft from ASD/FS4. In this flight
model, the weight was changed to reflect the empty weight of the
plane (1750 lbs) and 2 average passengers (170 lbs each). Power is
set to 260 HP as in the real plane.
Handling is gentle and slow. This is not a plane for performing
aerobatics and is moderately heavy on the controls.
Just start from the mode file and start the engine using the
menu options (M-5) and move the throttle up (multiple presses of F3
or F4 for full throttle).
LANDING:
Throttle down, (25% or less) and fly down to landing.
Sink rate is very low at any throttle setting, so just point the
nose down a bit. If you have floating problems on landing,
then throttle back and point the nose down or use less flaps.
This bird has working flaps that are very effective.
If you are new to FS4, this plane is very similar to the
Cessna 182 and should make a good alternate as a n FS4 trainer.
You should spend some time with a plane such as the Cessna in FS4
to practice take-offs and landings, and touch and goes.
ABOUT JOYSTICKS:
I like to fly with a ThrustMaster FCS or FCS Pro
joystick, and set the sensitivity to maximum (4-E-B-8-ESC-ESC)
for most planes. You may wish to compensate by lowering the
sensitivity. In my flying using other joysticks, (Suncom TAC 1,
CH Flightstick), I set sensitivity to mid level (about 5 or 6).
I have found that the Thrustmaster flys best at the high sensitivity,
and teaches the arm-chair pilot to fly gently with the stick instead
of wrestling the joystick full-throw. In an informal experiment using
non-computer users, non-flight simulator 'lab rats', whose only
joystick time was using arcades, in using the TAC 1 or Flightstick,
they had a tendency to over-control. None of the 'volunteers' were
able to successfully land *ANY* plane in FS4 with the TAC 1 or
Flightstick, but were successful using the Thrustmaster with maximimum
sensitivity. I hope that explains why I am using max sensitivity.
It was not an attempt to improve performance artificially.
AAF NOTES:
Parts: 174

ADDITIONAL NOTES AND REFERENCES:
The plane was created from 3-views and notes and specifications
provided by fellow Compuserve FSFORUM member, Bill Salina.
DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs
differ on details -- some request registration while others
require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With
registration of RUSSAIR, you get the most recent revision of
the airplane files for use with Microsoft Flight Simulator 4.0b,
and source code for use with Mallard's Aircraft and Adventure Factory.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are
of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs
and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of
distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy
and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
specific group. For example, some authors require written
permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their
Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
product, you don't pay for it.
DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
Users of RUSSAIR planes must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
"RUSSAIR planes are supplied as is. The author disclaims all
warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation,
the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose.
The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or conse-
quential, which may result from the use of RUSSAIR planes."
RUSSAIR is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge
to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your
friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of
another system. The essence of "user-supported" software is to
provide personal computer users with quality software without
high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to
continue to develop new products. If you find these program files
useful and find that you are using RUSSAIR planes and continue to use
RUSSAIR after a reasonable trial period, you must make a reg-
istration payment to Russell Mueller for each RUSSAIR set.
The registration fee will license one copy of the collection for use
on any one computer at any one time. You must treat this software just
like a book. An example is that this software may be used by any
number of people and may be freely moved from one computer
location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it
being used at one location while it's being used at another.
Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the
same time.
Anyone distributing RUSSAIR planes for any kind of remuneration must
first contact Russell Mueller at the address below for authorization
and licensing agreement.
You are encouraged to pass a copy of RUSSAIR along to your
friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their
copy if they find that they can use it. All registered users
will receive a copy of the latest version of the RUSSAIR
system, software support via mail for 3 months
from date of registration, and the source code for use with
Mallard's Aircraft and Adventure Factory for modifying the
planes for your own personal use. The planes may not be used
in a commercial, shareware, or other retail program without
a license from the author.
***ASP Ombudsman Policy********************************************
"This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware
Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle
works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem with
an ASP member by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help.
The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP
member, but does not provide technical support for members' products.
Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442
or send a Compuserve message via Compuserve Mail to ASP Ombudsman
70007,3536.
The OMB may be contacted by FAX by sending to the ASP FAX number:
(616) 788-2765. In communication with the OMB, please include a
telephone number and/or FAX if available."
