Why are you entitled to free? You (and we) are getting a constant stream of scenery addons for free already. And what does money you may throw at Bredok and co help the devs of the Fokker or similar addons? I’ll gladly pay for worthy additions to the sim. This keeps development going. The entitlement is a bit strange sometimes.
Well please do try and bear in mind that it was invented and developed here in the Netherlands. Our country is entirely flat. No aircraft would ever need to climb at any rate higher than 100 feet per minute as surely after passing 200 feet AGL you wouldn’t hit anything! (and note how 200 ft AGL is 189 feet ASL )
Would be seriously disappointing if it was missing that feature. Also they expect you to do a transpacific mission at 100 knots without an autopilot? I hope I’m missing something here.
Wow they actually provided a manual for it this time around. PDF manual located in the Content\Official\OneStore\microsoft-aircraft-fokker-vii\Resources\Documentation\ folder and 3 checklists. Manual has some history and instrument labels and a few pages of basic operational details but better than nothing like we had with the Ju52 and people were left guessing what certain things did.
Well I’m almost finished updating and will buy it in a few seconds. I’ll help out with the Old Dutch labels and try to find something like a gyropilot. Then again it would be named gyroscopische piloot in Dutch, so…
