CHANGE LOG

  • Improved flight model including further realism refinements as well as adjustments to compensate for recent changes in the overall MSFS flight model interpretation.
  • Easier to fly during take off and less affected by MSFS’s insanely amplified weathervaning effect (automatically turning into a crosswind).
  • Slightly less dim radio and transponder.

You’ll find Grravel in your hangar all the way to the right near the default MSFS Savage Cub.

You should update the main changelog. If I had not scrolled down the comments I would have not known there was an update as it still reflects 1.2.4. Keep up the great work mate, the Grravel is my most flown aircraft :+1:

What do you have to add ? I thought it was already done, we just needed some visual feedback from the engine, you know, white watter, etc ..

I hadn’t flown any tail dragger for months, so decided to give the default Savage Cub a go last night. I then installed this addon to compare…oh my god. :slight_smile:

SAVAGE GRRAVEL v1.3.0

DOWNLOAD from FLIGHTSIM.TO

Looking for a great bush community? Check out the Got Gravel Discord Server!

CHANGE LOG

  • “Generation 2” Flight Model (Super realistic bush flight! Includes Adverse Yaw)
  • Electrical system upgraded from 12v to 24v
  • Improved NVFR dashboard lights: added a center spot covering ASI, Compass and Turn Coordinator
  • Reprogrammed flaps…no more ballooning but correct dipping
  • All external white lights (landing, strobe, nav) changed to Aviation White
  • Improved default pilot camera for better visibility of dashboard as well as landscape

Note on the “Generation 2” Flight Model. I have been working hard on another aircraft, the aerobatic Gee Bee R3. Developing this has certainly pushed the limits of what the MSFS Flight Model can do and has taught me more than Carbon, Grravel and Vertigo combined. Hence I have redeveloped Grravel’s Flight Model entirely from scratch putting in all the lessons learned so far. Enjoy the new flight experience!

You’ll find Grravel in your hangar all the way to the right near the default MSFS Savage Cub.

CHANGE LOG

The recent Software Update 4 (SU4) brought with it a vastly improved flight model. Stuff that was missing has been added, and things that were not balanced well now seem to be pretty accurate.

This update takes full advantage of all this goodness!

  • Execute the famous Knife Edge aerobatic move, and hold it for the entire runway length!
  • Most accurate flight model yet for Grravel
  • Fixed trim balance issue
  • Aileron authority is back at lower speeds
  • Slightly reduced flap drag
  • Excellent balance of aerodynamic forces

You’ll find Grravel in your hangar all the way to the right near the default MSFS Savage Cub.

Thank you for the update! I am glad you feel that the flight model of MSFS is going on the right direction with SU4.

I guess the Carbon will get a similar update as well?

My pleasure, Carbon just updated…posting now. The FM for MSFS has improved by leaps and bounds I feel after SU4…took some tweaking to take advantage of it…but once done…wow! Nice work Asobo! :smiley:

“Henry!”
“What Marge?”, Henry muttered in a lack luster manner as he stared out the Lounge window at the neighbors potting shed.
“He’s at it again!”
“Who Marge?”
“Gravelrash. He’s been fiddling with his truck again. Perhaps it is time we got one?”
Henry sniffed & diffidently tapped his pipe on the fireplace.
There was a long silence.
“He’s plucking ducks in that shed again, Marge!”, Henry suddenly shouted.
“It should be illegal Marge!”, he added for good measure.
Marge went for diversion. "The Truck in the Sky, do you want one?, she inquired.
Henry cleared his throat.
“I have a problem with that aircraft Marge!”, he finally replied.
“What is it dear?”, Marge asked solicitously.
“It reminds me of your Sister!”, Henry shouted.
“My Sister?”, Marge shouted back, infuriated.
"Yes, its the bl-dy tires. You don’t remember in 1956 when she wrapped herself in an inflated Fordson Major rear wheel inner tube & floated from Dover to Calais!
And I had to deal with the bl–dy French to get her back!!
“They thought she was a new type of deep sea creature that had been washed up on their shores!”, Henry added, with some vehemence.
“Wanted to take her to a Museum & preserve her!”
“Henry, you know it wasn’t her fault she lost her bathing costume, & I daresay if you spent 15 hours bobbing about in the English Channel you’d end up looking like an over aged prune too!”, Marge hissed.
Another long silence ensued.
“I’m sorry Marge”, Henry finally broke the silence, “I can’t fly an aircraft when I think I have your sister attached to the front wheels!”
“Henry, that is a terrible thing to say!”, Marge replied.
“What about the other one then?”, she asked?
“The tires are smaller!”
“Perhaps!”, Henry muttered as he peered at the neighbors potting shed, just as the door swung open & the neighbor emerged clutching 4 plucked birds.
"Good Lo-d Marge, they aren’t ducks, they’re geese!!
H&M
