I have a sim of the Lockheed Orion hurricane hunter and the similar anti-sub variants of the Orion and externally and internally visually they are beautifully modeled and the cockpit and represention of the instruments is superb but it flies likes a pig. Try anything more than 10 Degree angle in a turn and the aircraft is likely to go in to a side-slip power dive in to the ground and you have to fight the aircraft constantly when using a force-feedback stick. Has anybody experienced problems like this with this aircraft and is there a fix?

Hi Adrian,

Could you give the filename and where you got that particular aicraft from ?

So I can check it out and maybe uncover where the eventual "bug" is hiding out

Thanx Uhu

here are details of the aircraft

File Description:
About the Aircraft.----- Two of the world's premier research aircraft, the renowned NOAA WP-3D Orions, participate in a wide variety of national and international meteorological, oceanographic and environmental research programs in addition to their widely known use in hurricane research and reconnaissance. These versatile turboprop aircraft are equipped with an unprecedented variety of scientific instrumentation, radars and recording systems for both in-situ and remote sensing measurements of the atmosphere, the earth and its environment. Obtained as new aircraft from the Lockheed production line in the mid-70's, these robust and well maintained aircraft have led NOAA's continuing effort to monitor and study hurricanes and other severe storms, the quality of the atmosphere, the state of the ocean and its fish population, and climate trends. ------ About the Model.---- The sixth P3 series of Team FS KBT produced WP-3D. This model was made with GMAX. It is FS2004 exclusive use, and it is not possible to use it with FS2002. The sound file is not bundled. It is described that the data of p-3c_zip is used.

Frankly I can not remember if I got the file from Avsim or flightsim or I got it off a disc which came with the Briitish magazine PC pilot, has anybody got this aircraft or associated repaints based on the FS KBT
www.flightinfo.jp/FS_KBT/d_y_a.htm original aircraft model that appears within the website www.flightinfo.jp/FS_KBT/ and if so how does it fly manually [ ie without AP engaged ]?

Yeah I've got that one, and I never had any problems with it...

One of my favorite planes and I have never had any issues...

Did you install the upgrades?
