The Genesis 2 is a modern Standard Class racing sailplane of unusual configuration. It is made of composite materials, with a self-stable wing, utilising the latest design and aeronautical construction technology. This glider was made with Gmax and features full animations, detailed virtual cockpit with a pilot that can be active or hidden and custom built gauges. The model is also compatible with FSX SP2 By David Rowberry.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B21 19 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 good stuff - I'm looking forward to test-flying the plane.FYI it's easiest to *search* with "gen2???.zip" - this will find both gen2fs9.zip and gen2fsx.zip (you need to create a free flightsim account)Here's the readme from the download:#########################################################################LAK Genesis 2for FSXThank you for downloading this aircraft designed using G-Max by David Rowberry. **************************************** The GENESIS 2 is a modern Standard Class racing sailplane of unusual configuration,it is made of composite materials, with a self-stable wing, utilising the latest design and aeronautical construction technology. The Genesis wing is naturally stable. It therefore does not require a horizontal stabilizer to compensate for its instability. The small horizontal surface found at the top of the Genesis' fin is used only to control the glider's angle of incidence. The wing has reverse sweep in order to put the variable masses close to the centre of gravity, and incorporates water ballast tanks. Thanks to the small size of the fuselage, the total drag of the machine is less than that of other, conventional gliders of the same generation. The Genesis is spin resistant and has very sound handling qualities at low speed. Its performance is better than that of many Standard class gliders, the goal sought from the beginning having been to "do better than Schempp-Hirth's Discus." Genesis was created by the sailplane engineer Jim Marske, with Robert Mudd assisting with control system design, cockpit layout and production engineering. John Ronce designed the wing airfoils. The original design of GENESIS was refined by "Sportine aviacija" (LAK). It has been certified under The International Joint Aviation Requirements program. I owe thanks to Bob De Leon , who's aircraft this model depicts, for providing the information , Max Roodveldt and the guys at Flight Design Studio forums for the codes which I have employed in some of these animations , and Ian Forster-Lewis for the L/D gauge code .Installation-------------- Either unzip to a temporary folder, (and then transfer) or straight to your Flt Sim AIRCRAFT folder . The aircraft will appear listed under Genesis2 . ****************************************Flying---------See Genesis-ref data in the "Documents" folderIf you have not yet found it "Sim Probe" is a ridge lift generator available from ... http://www.virtualsoaring.org ...that greatly enhances the FSX gliding experience . ***************************************************** Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or constructive criticisms at..... ****@tiscali.co.uk (<anti-spam snipped just for web - check actual readme>) I have flown and tested this model in FSX-SP2 without any problems, however, although there is nothing in this programme that will harm your computer, usage of this program is entirely at your own risk I can not be held responsible for any damage, real or perceived it might cause to your system. ****************************************************** This is a Freeware aircraft do not use or redistribute any of these files in any commercial way without my prior consent and approval . ***************************************************** Have fun Dave R *****************************************************Other aircraft created by me that can also be found at flightsim.com and/or avsim.com ...........

wingman5 149 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Hi guys Thanks for the kind words , glad you like it , sorry about the reversed yawstring and fs9 rudder :embaressed: . I am posting a fix and also some minor handling refinements as suggested by a Genesis owner, just waiting for him to get back to me . A Marske Pioneer is definitely on my to do list and another hang glider ,but at the moment I have a Mitchell Wing U2 on the go (a bit of power involved here I'm afraid ) .So many aircraft to do..... not nearly enough time !

It looks superb and maybe you can use some of ideas on how to do things on a digital instrument (like text-fonts in 3D for example).Bert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
