  3. Attached are situation files that I created especially for users who have trouble to start the engine of the Robin. For FSX: Please copy the 3 files from the Zip-file into your "My Documents/Flight Simulator X Files" folder. For P3D: Please copy the 2 files from the Zip-file into your "My Documents/Prepar3D Files". To startup the engine follow the checklist in the aircraft, and do not forget to prime the engine by pumping the throttle 3-5 times! Enjoy! AS_Robin_default_FSX.zip AS_Robin_default_P3D.zip

    One of the immediate fun things to do with the Discus BM is to do a self-launch power takeoff using it's retractable engine. All the information you need is in the manuals but here's a walk-through for the whole routine to get you moving: * Don't try your first takeoff in a crosswind - even experienced pilots will struggle with that. If you can have a bit of a headwind straight down the runway, so much the better. * Get settled in the aircraft and have a look around and identify each of the controls and instruments you'll be depending upon - there are quite a few - I bet you didn't realise modern gliders are so sophisticated. * Power-up the SDI C4 FLIGHT COMPUTER…

    Hi, Ian, the developer of the SDI C4 gauge has done a great update for you. The advantages are: 1) FG:RTE setting on GOTO cursor position now reads the arrival height of the destination waypoint all the way around the task. 2) Vario/STF switch can now be toggled via keyboard or joystick 3) Static port (SEGEL/MOTOR) can also be toggled via keyboard or joystick now. The update can be found in FAQ/updates section and is highly recommended. - - - - Hi, Ian, der Entwickler des SDI C4 Intruments hat ein super Update für euch gemacht.

    This is just a basic guide to getting started with the SDI C4 flight computer - for the real info you have to wade through every page of the owners manual... * The SDI C4 COMPETITION is a flight computer - the main functions are to drive the variometer displays to show you your rate-of-climb and to compute your likely arrival height at the planned destination. The SDI C4 in the Aerosoft Discus picks up your defined destination from the current flight plan or mission. So to really use the C4 to its full capability, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A FLIGHT PLAN DEFINED. Otherwise the distance-to-go and arrival height calculations have no meaning (and the C4 defaults to being an expe…

  12. Here's a tutorial on the various pressure sources a glider has, also simulated in the Aerosoft Discus. In each case they are a 'nozzle' picking up the outside pressure, connected to a run of pneumatic tubing to bring that pressure to the instruments in the cockpit either to move a pressure vane in an analog instrument (Winter vario, or Air Speed Indicator) or to be measured by an electronic sensor (SDI C4). If you only want to get the basics of the SEGEL/MOTOR switch, skip to the last section... (1) Pitot pressure: (pronounced pee-toe) this is a forward-facing tube which can be either in the nose of the glider or in the tail. The 'nozzle' acts like a forward-fac…

    What it is? OK, let me explain it short. In real life gliding, most of the pilots use a logger to record the path of their flights. Almost every glider flight is a competition flight. Look at this site. http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0/segelflugszene/index.html Short said, people flying against each other all over the world. You can compare this with offline competitions in FSX. The flights can be seen in several programs and the good ones optimize the flight regaring special rules and end up with points. Here is an all new program made by Ian Lewis (the maker of the C4) that does exactly this. It is a logger. But not only, it has several func…

  15. Please note you need the .NET distribution (dotnetfx.exe) and the Visual C++ run time files (vcredist_x86.exe) to run all parts of this product. Almost all users will already have this installed, but in case something does not work as it should, do install these two files. They are near standard parts of the modern Windows system.

    Hallo allerseits. Ich möchte euch herzlich Willkommen heißen und wünsche viel Spaß mit dem Discus. Für mich war es eine große Freude, diesen Flieger zu entwickeln. Wie die meisten von euch wissen, fliege ich den Discus auch im realen Leben. Für mich stand im Vordergrund ein möglichst realistisches abbild der Flugeigenschaften und des Handlings zu erstellen. Klar, dass auch das 3D-Modell nicht zu kurz kommen durfte. Ich hoffe mit dem Produkt, Einsteiger in die Segelflugwelt ebenso anzusprechen, wie eingefleiste Segelflieger. Der FSX ist mit passenden Add ons aus dem Freewarebereich zu einem komkurrenzfähigen Segelflugsimulator geworden. Ich empfehle dringends…

  20. #Simmarket2266142,7234 (Order ID) Sad, but I was not aware enough to purchase FSX in time when boxed versions where just out. I had to stay and stuck with the Steam version, so finally I given up to play with this astonishing plane, because of the following reasons: Main battery pull switch sometimes stops to work. Fuel pump sometimes is muted when turned on and does not seems to pump at all. Both beacon and strobe lights burns out. (or never worked) If I guess there is no fix for these problems at this time.

  21. Is b21_vario.dll identical/joined to ASK21 only, or it modifies other FSX systems since the first start? If this module loads from dll.xml it will broke systems of other aircrafts. Load the default FSX Cessna then you'll not able to switch off batteries. Is that true? Thank You!

    Since v4 is out for quite a long time now, and there are no real news here.. will the Dimona and ASK21 be made compatible? I really miss them.

    I recently purchased the Discus FSX glider and I have found the canopy reflections very annoying. I see that there is a thread (now closed) With an alternative file called "less-reflection.zip" but even though I have downloaded it several times, the file is corrupt. Can you please make it available once again or give me an alternative link?. Thank you. Christian Conesa.

    Hi, The Discus and other planes by Aerosoft I've bought should be compatible with P3DV4 (and P3DV4x???) I've tried to install it in P3DV4 but the installer refuses all the paths I've tried. Could you be so kind to explain even in a few words and at least for your products the correct how to ? Thanks and regards daniel
