Hello,

I have an Osprey that is for FS2000 and I want to use it in FS2002 but when I set the rotors to straight flight I get an overspeed warning and the whole aircraft starts shaking can anyone tell me how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

throttle down, man
the osprey takes a lot of thrust to get it off the ground but once you're airborne and flying straight, try reducing throttle (to less than half if necessary) and keep an eye on the airspeed gauge

It is possibly an airfile problem, but in most cases you can adjust these settings through the aircraft.cfg file. Is there a section in the aircraft.cfg file called flight tuning? You might try playing with these numbers to see if you can correct some of the flying characteristics. They usually are 0=more sensitive to 9 being less sensitive. It is possible that the transition from vertical flight to horizontal flight is where you get this "surge" of speed. Like the other post stated, lower you throttle settings.
Any further questions or problems, please post again.

I found the part of the Aircraft.cfg that has flight tuning and this is what is in it by default

[flight_tuning]
cruise_lift_scalar=1.000
pitch_stability=1.000
roll_stability=1.000
yaw_stability=1.000
parasite_drag_scalar=1.000
induced_drag_scalar=1.000
elevator_effectiveness=1.000
aileron_effectiveness=1.000
rudder_effectiveness=1.000

I have taken your advice and played with the numbers from 0-9.It seems that any adjustments I make to these numbers makes the Ospreys behavior even worse. I understand the stability and effectiveness entries,but I have no idea what the scalar entries mean.

I guess this is hopeless.Ill keep playing with the settings maybe Ill stumble on to something that works.

MattNW..I have downloaded the 2002 version but I dont like the way it fly's.If I knew how to edit airfiles I would tweak it a bit to fly like Shlomo 'Slo Mo' Hakim's Opsrey does in CFS2 (this is the one Im trying to get working correctly in FS2002).

Here's the link to the page with the Osprey

The panel I use is here

Ill download the SDK, maybe Ill figure out what all the entries mean and be able to get this thing to fly right.

I have been reading the Container SDK.The SDK says

" Omission of a parameter will result in Flight Simulator defaulting to a value of 1.0."

There are so many entries missing in this Osprey's cfg file that are present in other cfg's.I think this may be the problem, FS2002 is defaulting a 1.0 value to these and creating problems.

I was afraid the problem might be with the model.Ill email the designer maybe he still has the file or has plans to update it.

Thanks for your time and all your help.
