skeleton Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Hi, I just bought Walter Sutton Airfield during your 19$ special offer this week and this scenery is so amazing!!! I picked up BOB to take a closer look at this detailed airstrip. But I had to stop all over the time because there is too much to see... And when BOB is stopped, he needs lots of time to accerlate to a speed which you can walk with and which you can turn with (because if BOB is very slow, he can't turn). Is it possible to program a higher accerlation to BOB? Thanks, Felix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Bob is actually and aircraft have you tried unlocking the tailwheel to see if he will turn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeleton Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 No, I think BOB hasn't got a tailwheel that you can lock and unlock. It's like a Cessna 172 or so... And it's not only my problem, it's a general "problem" BOB is able to turn, when he his faster than 1 knot, but this was not the cause, I posted here. It is the low accerlation of BOB when you explore a scenery and stop. When you want to move on, the accerlation is too litle I think. All in all BOB is a bit too less flexible. So I thought, there could be maybe an update? The BOB.air file is the file with the "flight" (walking-) model, but I don't know how to edit such a file.

Phil Manhart Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I believe that Bob is the way he is so that he was usable. The slow acceleration is due to the fact that if you put Bob's throttle to 100% you are quickly screaming through the scenery. When I am perusing using Bob as my beta-testing vehicle I use about 50% throttle to start moving and then quickly back it down to move at a snails pace. It works quite well for me that way.

John Dow Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Yes many an hour was spent by many to see if the FSX air file could be tweaked to provide a more pedestrian type experience but sadly none could achieve more than what you have. At one stage I had a version that would accelerate quickly and not go too fast but it would only work in calm air. I often go into slew mode with Bob when I want to be more agile on the ground, which means the movements are a lot more touchy but also I can zip around and turn on a dime.

skeleton Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Oh, the slew mode is an interesting alternative. Thanks for the replies. BOB is a great invention.

The only problem with using the slew mode - which I do quite often for sight seeing - is that you loose the audio that's been added. At least with Bob (not in slew mode) the audio is great - just like being there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
