VWAC - Training - Settings

Simulator and aircraft settings

Before each competition or training flight make sure that your "machine" (= simulator + aircraft) is set correctly!
It means:

		Joystick and pedals axes are set according to the aircraft you are going to fly and according to your feeling. Stability - If you can set the stability, check it. The aircraft's stability must be enough for flying loops and rolls but not too much for "flying" spins. Some aircraft have a recommendation in their documentation. Sensitivity - Same as stability. Null zone - The best is zero or very small value. If you have the same problem with your joy and need a big null zone, repair it or buy a new one.

		Fuel level is enough for your training or competition flight. For half an hour is OK. No more. More fuel is a ballast.

		Payload. Same as fuel. Only you are in your aircraft. No baggage!

		Weather. The season is up to you. No wind is recommended. But some clouds are needed! It is for a visual reference of aircraft's moving and position in the air.

		Time. I think it is clear - only daylight time is acceptable.

		Altimeter. At the latest before taxiing to take-off set the altimeter to ZERO on the ground! You need to know the altitude above ground during competition flight.
