think the goose would fit my fseconomy group we fly Caribbean’s/key west regions
Yes that was reported by one of our guys as well but I’ve not been able to figure out what’s causing it.
Interesting to hear you say that if you zoom out it goes away.
It goes back to at least 1986, in the movie The Money Pit.
Yup… Did that every time it starts vibrating (not sure what triggers it to begin with), but zoom in a tad, then zoom back out and it’s gone for the next few mins.
Just downloaded the freeware Seafront Simulations Vessels Channel Islands addon from orbyx. These boat filled marinas are going to a be perfect place to start or finish a Grumman flight over France or England.
Thanks again for the amazing work.
Is there a keybind for the wing floats?
Is there any update to this aircraft since 30th Dec last year?
welp the goose is now part of my carribean fse airline
YESSS, been wanting a Goose in the new sim SO BAD! It looks good and flies well, too!
A few thoughts:
- I had to turn controller vibration off, as this plane seems to trigger the force feedback nearly constantly. Think it may have to do with the Angle of Attack?
- Engines cut off if throttle is zero’d for too long. Not sure if by design.
- Some of the gauges could be clearer.
Other than that, it’s great to have one of my favorite planes from FS’04 in 2020. Really hope to see more work on refining this beauty.
PS: Sorry if I repeated any issues already mentioned here, but it’s a pretty long thread. Tho on that note, it’s good to see this plane get some love!
PPS: Wingtip floats can only be extended or retracted in the air. And I think the switches are mixed up- middle switch seems to control the left float…
BUG REPORT
Issue Experienced: the attitude indicator is showing half the truth only: e.g. when rolling for like 60-90 degrees to a side, the indicator shows an angle of ~30 degree only. In the yaw axis, this seems to be similar…
Expected Behaviour: the attitude of the aircraft and the attitude the indicator shows should be the same
Steps to Reproduce: #FlyTheDamnPlane … and you will see.
Thanks for the awesome bug report. Added to the list.
Engines cut at zero throttle is the expected behavior, real plane, too.
I uploaded two more Geese for you guys to have fun with:

I’ve tried the key binds AP for ALT Hold & HDG Hold but haven’t nailed it yet.
Do you need to tweak something in one of the .cfg files?
Or is the next Update so close I needn’t bother?

think you make the grumman albatross once the goose is in final release?
They’re shut for the season

Just discovered that the Bendix/King Kap 140 AP at the bottom of the radio stack works!
Although nothing shows on the screen, hovering the mouse pointer over the buttons shows them to be ‘live’ & I was able to set an HDG & get VS going & engage AP, to head off into the distance hands free.
ALT is a bit fiddly as you switch between it & VS, but you can get a VS going & ALT Hold too.
Haven’t tried NAV/GPS yet.
Delighted with this as it lets me set longer flights & rest my eyes.
TG
PS: A subtlety when engaging VS - I was cruising at 50% throttle & set up a HDG & VS climb, but on engaging AP it steadily went VS -ve.
After some head scratching I took the throttle up to 82% & the VS became +ve.
It looks like NAV doesn’t work, possibly because there is no GPS.
