The Cessna 150

First, we will wish you welcome in our small creative world. This aircraft, made for FS2004, is the result of near 1000 hours of hard work (2 years). This one in the uni ue !oal to !ive to the simmers community the most credi"le "ase of the #essna $ne fifty for fun or for learnin! to fly in %F&, one of the most used school aircraft in the world. 1. #haracteristics. $ur small Team took the decision to don't "uild 2( )anel. *hat are the reasons + *e create this #essna, firstly for us and our friends. *e wished to take )leasure to "uild this aircraft and the creation of a 2( )anel was not a )leasure... *e think that more and more ,c-s are )owerful enou!h to su))ort this kind of view without countin! the increasin!ly fre uent use of the .Track /&012

*e never fly in )anel 2( from the lack of realism "rou!ht "y this re)resentation2 3ou can .)o) u)0 some instruments to increase visi"ility2 *e worked for the ma4imum realism and the full immersion in #essna 150, which asked for a work of very lon! "reath2 6ife is made of some concessions and we took the res)onsa"ility of this. (urin! the develo)ment of this virtual cock)it, we accentuated stron! the "uidin! )rocess of the !au!es in 7 dimensions which re uired hundreds of hours of sometimes )rofita"le research, sometimes not. 8ach one of these !au!es is a true e4)eriment. Some are more finished than others and in s)ite of the fact that they should satisfy a si!nificant num"er )eo)le, they will of course not "e )erfect for others, to see )erha)s even frankly null. 8ach one its sensitivities. *e worked hard with the hei!ht of our means and it !oes without sayin! that / will not "e a"le to solve al "u!s of )ossi"le failures that some could find. (ocumentation on the su"9ect of 7( "ein! uasi non:e4istent at this time...

2. Functionalities. *e first of all will detail the front )art of the 7( #ock)it.

The com)ass "all is made in 7( and is animated on the 7 a4es ()itch, roll, yaw). @) The key:rin! is animated, "alances itself accordin! to the movements of the )lane , when it skids, and so on... Same thin! for the wire of the micro)hone (12).

10)The )itch trim is really easy to mani)ulate with the mouse. 11) #lick at any )lace of the doors for o)en them. Same mani)ulation for the windows.

1. These 2 levers order the heatin! and a fresh air intake. *hen mani)ulate the lever of the to) (9ust "ehind the yoke on this screen), you will see a small tra) door o)ens on the ri!ht side of the en!ine in e4ternal view. 2. 7( overvolta!e witness. 7. #lick on this door to o)ens the !loves com)artment. 4. Aoth aerators can "e mo"iliBed with the mouse and the tC !au!e on the ri!ht

aerator is fully functional and can "e increased in a 2( window when you click a"ove.

7. *hat one can find, )osed on the ri!ht seat.

1) #lick here to reveal an unknown !au!e for much amon! of you D The #om)uter (see the Eean:Fichel Fa"ille tutorial included in the file of the #essna 150). This tutorial is in french for the moment "ut the en!lish version will follow in the near future on the same site. 2) #lick here to reveal a 2( sto) watch. 7) Faintain inserted the left "utton of the mouse on the file of the seat and make sli) it forward for foldin! "ack it. 4) #lick on this Bone to reveal a small 2( !au!e who allows to handle easily the fuel lever. 5) &eaveal the second 2( face of the #om)uter (drift and s)eed calculations).

1) #lick on this area to make disa))ear the #om)uter. 2) #lick on this area to make disa))ear the sto) watch. 7) $ne click on each window o)en "oth contrary to the doors (don-t for!et that the com"ination Shift G 8 do not function any more for this aircraft). 3ou could see that the !loves com)artment door stay o)en on this screen.

4. 2( o)tions )anel (see )oint 7 of functionalities) (Shift G 4).

8ven if that can a))ear o"vious ,/-ll enumerate them here uickly. H 6eft door I, H ri!ht door I and H *indows I D to o)en the doors ans the windows. H ,itot covers I D set u) a )itot )rotection. H *heel fairin! I D Jllows to remove the wheel fairin!s. H *heel chock I D reveal a wheel chock. H %entilation I D order the heatin! and a fresh air intake as e4)lained a"ove. H ,ilot I D allow to remove the )ilot (only on the !round, motor off) H Fli!ht instructor I D allow to remove the instructor (could "e removed in fli!ht too).

Aoth yellow s uares are click Bones for reveal or to make disa))ear this )anel. 5. %arious "uttons under the 3oke of the )ilot.

1) The i!nition key is handled "y maintainin! the left "utton of the mouse and "y makin! it sli) horiBontally. /t-s also )ossi"le to increment the o)eration to simulate the ma!netos checklist. 2) #ock)it li!ht. 7) ,itot heat. 4) Kavi!ation li!hts. 5) 6andin! li!hts. <) Aeacon li!hts. >) #aution on this item. 3ou can read here that this "utton li!hts a second landin! li!ht "ut this is not the case. This "utton li!hts the instruments at ni!ht. ?) #ar"urator heat is made to avoid the icin! of the fuel in the conduits of the car"urator "y %enturi effect when outside air is too cold. #aution, under 21C #elsius , we can consider that the air is too cold L This effect occurs es)ecially durin! the reduction of the throttle in final a))roach for e4em)le. Small thin! to know and remem"er. /n order to see the retro:li!htin! of the instruments at ni!ht without li!htin! for that the landin! li!hts, a small trick was im)lemented. This trick function very well "ut has a li!ht conse uence. It's impossible to extinguish the landing lights with the Ctrl + L combination.

<. Fore details on the 7( !au!es.

1) The airs)eed indicator is fully 7( made. /n ordre to facilitate the readin!, you can click on it to reveal the s)eed in knots on to) of it. Eust a known "u! here. Jt ni!ht, this trick is not illuminated, 2) The artificial horiBon is fully 7( too and com)rises all the functionalities of the instrument. /nclidin! the ad9ustment of the H model I from to) to "ottom when you click on the caster at the "ottom of the instrument (function with left JK( ri!ht clicks). 7) The altimeter (7(). 3ou can ad9ust the "arometric )ressure with left JK( ri!ht clicks too. 3ou can read the value with )recision in a small window who a))ears when you make )ass the mouse on the caster. The )recise value of the altitude a))ears when you make )ass the mouse on the !au!e itself. 4) The J(F (7(). Jd9ustment with left JK( ri!ht clicks on the caster. 5) Turn M Aank #oordinator (7(). <) The =yro (7(). Jd9ustment with left JK( ri!ht clicks on the caster. >) The %ariometer (7(). ?) For the %$&, only the "utton of ad9ustment is in 7(. For the instrument, /

missed my "low L @) Small li!ht who allow to know that the electric circuit is in under:volta!e situation.

1) Small switch who allows to re!ulate the intensity of the li!hts of the differents H Farkers I. ((ummy switch). 2) Switch for testin! the 7 Farkers li!hts. 7) Auttons for switchin! #$F 1 N #$F 2 (This )lane only lays out of a #$F 1). 4) Sound Switch of the J(F (the switch @ do the same action).

5) Switch for e4tin!uish the #$F 1 and the KJ% 1. <) Auttons (4) for set the #$F et KJ% fre uencies. Jd9ustment with left JK( ri!ht clicks. >) Same thin! for the Trans)onder. ?) Same thin! for the Jdf. ,S D The mode switch of the Trans)onder is in 2(. Kot succeeded in findin! the trick...

1) The &,F (7() and the values of H motor time I are fully im)lemented. 2) The hourmeter remained in 2(. 7) The H Suction I is in 7( and )ass the mouse a"ove allows to read the value of the suction )ressure. 4) The fuel level !au!es, the oil )ressure and the oil tem) are fully 7( made (3ou can read the )recise value of the oil tem) M oil )ress when )assin! the mouse a"ove). 5) Same thin! for the am)ermeter (The red li!ht under indicate a too hi!h volta!e). <) The famous aeration lever as e4)lained a"ove. >) #a"in heatin! (dummy lever).

?) #lick there for o)en the !loves:com)artment. /n )lace of the #lock in the Jero"at 150 ch version (in the future), a !au!e allow to "e a"le to follow the under!one constraints durin! the acro"atics evolutions. She-s com)osed of 7 needles. $ne moves of :5 = to 10 =. J second evolves of :5 = to 0 = and immo"iliBes itself at the ma4imal value reached. J third do the same "ut for the 0 = to 10 = values. J "utton located on the left side of the !au!e allows to reset them. *here to find it in the FS 2004 menu + 3ou-ll find it under #essna Jviation and &eims O #essna Jviation. >. #onclusion.

Pere are which close this ra)id tower of horiBon of a hard work who, / ho)e, you will like as much as us. Jfter more than 2 years of constant work , it is not without emotion that we deliver it to you. #an you of it "e fully satisfied. /t would "e for us an immense 9oy. Such an amount
