recordings

[3-D kid]

Can someone post there recording from G4 please?

[opjose]

Of what?

Remember that you need to have G4 to view it.

I'll assume you mean recordings from G4 since you're specifying recordings rather than just going to youtube.

Heres my RC NooB attempts at hovering with an Extra330L DC (http://www.knifeedge.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=512) variant.

Hi Guys... I need some help & need it quick.... Here is my situation. I will be heading the IMAC National Judging School in Jacksonville FL in 2.5 weeks & need to find out a few things regarding the G4.

I have previously recorded simulations in G2 which we have used in past judging schools but they have been used for 3 consecutive years now & getting kind of "stale". We just received the G4 last week & I had to buy a new graphics card which is now working & everything looks great.

Here's the problem....I can get my Extra in G2 to look & act very real in PROPER snaps & spins (entry/autorotation etc)..... But in the G4, especially when inverted the aircraft (Extra which was downloaded from here) need a LOT of push when inverted just to stay level... I tried to go into the aircraft parameters, but I can't find out where to manipulate the CG of the aircraft to get it a little more tailheavy so that I don't have to push so much down when inverted. The aircraft also yaws quite a bit when it's slowed down & the G2 did not do that...

If I can't get it to work, I will have to resort back to G2...but would prefer to use this new one...

Can anyone help me please?? I can call on the phone if need be...
Thanks

Doin some 3D with my edited version on the Cap 232.

Remember to adjust both the wing and the tail incidences to zero and then check the thrust line BEFORE you begin to adjust the C.G.

Then work it back until the plane almost flies level ( a bit of nose down ) by itself, then flip it over and check that the plane has exactly the same amount of pull down.

In other words the rate at which it noses down must be the same upright as inverted first.

Then continue to work back until you get almost a nose level flight regime with no inputs at throttle.

Another good way to check of course is to let the plane stall at high altitude and head it straight down with the throttle chopped.

If it pulls to the nose or the belly the incidence must be adjusted until it stops doing this.

THANK you very much.... I will be working on it to streamline the aircraft... I've already seen a difference by changing the parameters you indicated.
It is very much appreciated.
Thanks

so here's a recording and a question. this recording is done at Lake Douglas. I noticed that when i opened the 2 recordings already posted in this thread, i had to first select the matching field for the recording to look right. also noticed i could open my recording on a different field and it endud up a bit funny as well. any tricks to this?

anyway, here ya go. horsing around at Lake Douglas.

oh yeah, also is there a way to take a screenshot during the viewing of a recording?

Fields are different. A recording played on a different field can have you flying right through a barn, etc.
