+ Dont forget Andrew's Doubble Brown And Lion Red And Mikes Waikato Draught But the OLD'S drind RUM

Do I see a L39 forum coming up????!!!! Takes a bit of getting used to the Russian and metric instruments (apart from the altimeter, which is conventional). Also the lack of nosewheel steering (meaning that differential brakes have to be used) takes me back to my earlier times flying Rallye Clubs. Not that the Rallyes had the same performance as an L-39 though!

Saw in your screenshots that you still have the red message about parking brakes. I have changed the cfg. file so that the brakes and stall messages do not appear.

smooth landings.

Cheer HT, look in each model in fsx simobjects>aircraft>lotus all models...and there is a folder called "NOSE Wheel Steering" just replace ya textures and then Replace the Aircraft.con fig in the model
Also i added autopilot real nice in ILS here..

BACK UP FIRST FRIENDS

Cheer PM me if you need help Waka172rg

Feel free to add screenshot, hand and help in this post for the Lotus L-39

I saw in the manual about the adjustments to the cfg file to allow nosewheel steering, but the online tutorials on U-tube say that the L-39 does not have autopilot so for now I will leave it without. There is (of course) an L-39 enthusiasts website:-
http://www.l39.com/index.html

one more screenshot then, not quite 90 degrees but nearly:-



smooth landings
