OK.... so I found the "*.plnG3" files in the planes folder. And I open that and see the physics model structure. Under [Main] there's this: BasedOn=o:\rfv3\image\planes\Simple Flier.bse That's the link to the graphics model. So I just changed it to BasedOn=o:\rfv3\image\planes\E3D.bse The...

I created a physics model for a custom plane I've been working on. I modeled it starting with a standard G3.5 plane but I want to try it as a tail-dragger instead of tricycle gear. So I need to copy/ paste the whole physics model to another standard G3.5 model. Any way to do that? I thought I...

I took LevelTrim's 100% Yak and made several physics changes. More fuel, redid the engine (it had 4 different engines?!), smoke and most important added more lift and drag to the wing. G3.5 does not do a good job modeling big planes but you can force it to fly pretty good with the right...

L-39 8X Challenge I invented a little game for myself. You're welcome to try. Start with a stock L-39, make the engine 8 times bigger NOT just increasing thrust! Make these 4 engine changes only, no other changes allowed: fuel consumption = 80 oz max thrust = 216 lbs min thrust = 16 lbs...

Demo of my L-39 STOL version at the soccer field. NOTE: this plane has a wing loading of 70 oz/sq. ft. wet (really seventy) weight: 40 lbs. thrust: 70 lbs.

Demo of my L-39 STOL version at flight school showing vertical performance. Nice spot landing. NOTE: this plane has a wing loading of 70 oz/sq. ft. wet (really seventy) weight: 40 lbs. thrust: 70 lbs. Flight time 33 sec. max dist above ground 746 ft.

This is one of my old modified L-39s. I lost some of the newer ones but this is still fun. Modified L-39 features an STOL (short takeoff and landing) flight mode with thrust-vectored down and gyro-stabilized spoileron roll control for stable slow flight. Also has air brakes and smoke. By...

Demo flight for my Sabre VG. Stock weight and engine, physics model matches the visual model.
