LongEZ for X-Plane version 7.62

<< < (5/5)

Strider:
Noel-  just wait until I get the Jet Powered Cozy, and the Rocket powered LongEZ done. Then you can really have some fun of the kind that is NOT approved for the real airplanes in general ownership.  :)

Hey strider

I just purchased x-plane 7 and upgraded it to 7.62 I downloaded the long ez files into x-plane but it keeps telling me that there is a corrupted file also the program is very jumpy at times and freezes up my computer I have a gateway 1.1ghz with alot of memeory 512mb and a really nice video card when it is working it looks great everyting but the long ez that is any ideas on how to fix these issues?

Thanks Tony

Dear All,

Be informed that you can download my Rutan Long-EZ (Millennium Flight Around The World twice) for FS9 from :

http://www.flightsim.com
http://www.avsim.com
http://www.aviasim.ch

You have to catch-up the original file HBYCT_V1.ZIP and the patch file HBYCT_P1.ZIP.

Have a look to my Web pages :

The fully detailled Virtual Cockpit is missing, but the work is in progress.

Actually, I am flying a real french Long-EZ so I did my best to stick to the real dynamics, but according to the FS9 limits.

Flying Safe.

We are back from a 1,300 nm holiday trip in VariEze 111JK (the real aircraft that the XP version was modeled from.) It's actually been a few days that we've returned, Denver to Phoenix and back. The aircraft ran and flew flawlessly. South thru NM and then West, we stopped for fuel in Santa Fe, NM. Freezing cold and windy, but clear all the way. We overtook Santa in broad daylight, and he sent us this photo:

 Tuesday morning (28th) we flew out of Phoenix between dramatic cloud layers at 8 AM, maintained VFR and there were lots of holes below. Plenty of Light to Moderate Turbulence in NM and CO that afternoon- Oh Boy, My favorite (NOT).
 
 I practiced this flight 8 or 10 times in X-Plane; the whole flight- Longmont 2V2, Colo to Phx-DVT and back- in X-Plane flying my VariEze. I used real weather downloaded in flight. I became familiar with the terrain and the orientations of airports all along the way. I practiced randomly-timed engine failures, landed on roads, and the X-Plane model demonstrates the same Glide Ratio as the real plane, which is less than it's supposed to be by design. With sufficiently accurate fuel flow, capacity, weight, and cruise speeds in the X-Plane model, I accurately predicted how far the real plane would get between fuel stops, including the probable impact of weather.
 
 I firmly believe that X-Plane has shown what my plane can and cannot do in emergencies. I don't want to stop the prop on my plane in a practice session, because it does not have a starter. That would be a practice exercise a little too real for me. And I was able to safely start flying the plane in the first place because I flew it in X-Plane. If you fly a real airplane, X-Plane is the best value BAR NONE in aviation. Most of the gadgets sold to aviators are unbelieveably expensive and still of dubious value. The price of flying emergencies and familiarization flights in X-Plane is absolutely negligible when compared to it's value.
 
 X-PLANE ROCKS !!!
