@@V_F_Diaries Oh, Wow!! What coincidence ! I didn't know what attracted me to the environment scenery, just liked it very much. Just so happens that the MAAM (Mid Atlantic Air Museum) is situated here at KRDG. I have been a member of the 'Maam-Sim' team for more then a decade. We developed the MAAM's R4D (Navy C-47), B-25 'Briefing Time' and Grumman TBM/F Avenger mainly for FS9. Amazing that i asked you about this airfield while it has virtually been my home airport for so many years !..... ;-)) Must say i did not visit KRDG in MSFS yet, there's so unbelievably much to see but i'll be flying overthere right away now. I figure it's just a simple stock version of the airport so likely there won't be much of a MAAM hangar to see just yet.... Thank you very much again, VF Diaries ! LOVE the Tukan Trimotor ! 😎
That’s amazing the MAAM R4D was one of my favorite aircraft in FS9, I think I still have the install disk. Reading isn’t my home field, Wings field is but i use Reading a-lot in the sim. I just picked up a freeware scenery for KRDG off of Flightsim.to it released a couple days ago I have not have had chance to check it out yet, I am hoping it’s good because default KRDG is not very good.
@@V_F_Diaries Because we had access to all aircraft of the MAAM collection for us flightsim aircraft developers it was an exceptional privilege and lots of fun to create the models. Not only we learned everything about the flight characteristics of each plane we modeled but also got to fly in them. Thanks for the tip about the freeware KRDG scenery ! Wonderful ! The MAAM hangar seems to be there (according to the screenies), pity the designer didn't put the 3 Maam-Sim models in it. Maybe later... hopefully....;-) Thanks very much again VF Diaries ! ;-)
Forgive me but if you want to fly a vintage aircraft then take it for what it is. My late father flew a DC3 from Manchester to Sydney in 1948 with just a Sperry autopilot. Ok it took him a week each way….but he did that. I really enjoyed your video so thanks for that.
Thank you for watching…and thank you for your comment. I completely agree with you, my criticisms are based on the needs of the total flightsim community and not necessarily personal preference or experience. I have a series on my channel called “Flying the Line” where i flying a capital air DC-3 from Buffalo NY to Baltimore using the sperry. Once again Thank you.
Altitude control while under "autopilot" can be done by reducing speed until it stabilizes without climbing. First set the direction by hand then turn it on.
Thanks for this comparison. Well done ! What airfield are you taking off from ?.. Thanks again ! 👍
You’re welcome and Thank you for watching….I was at KRDG Reading Regional Airport in Pennsylvania

Thanks for the reply….I’m old school & love flying the DC3. I’ll check out your other channel 👍

See i had it completely trimmed out in a cruise setting turned it on and it went into a climbing bank it just wouldn’t hold for me.
@@V_F_Diaries turn on the auto it will go up cut power to half it will stop climbing but speed will be 70 miles
@@FAAMS1 Thank you i will give that a try appreciate the help
I contacted the dev about the AP. He's working on it as it's not quite functioning correctly right now
That’s good to hear…Thank You
Does it work with FS Economy?
Sorry i couldn’t tell you i don’t use fs economy
AH Trimotor was for free.
Where did you get it for free i paid 9.99 for it in the market place
@@V_F_Diaries It was free on release. For several days. I don't remember how long.
Man i missed that one
The update for the autopilot is out
