FSX Improved Extra 300

Improved flight dynamics files refine the Extra 300 for smoother taxi, more predictable takeoff torque, and cleaner landings around 55 knots in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Expect confident aerobatics with reliable loops, strong knife-edge control, added flaps for approach deceleration, and performance tuned for realistic speed and handling.

Improved Extra 300. New and Improved FDE's for the Extra 300. Maybe it's due to the author's system, but the 'default' was impossible to taxi, or land. These files will make it really perform (depending on the pilot). By Charles Backus.

--- Extra 300 --- 'Better' cfg & air files -- Oct 28,2006

Need a break from the Big Iron? Here are new cfg and air files for
the Extra 300 (Patty Wagstaff's). Now it handles torque on TO, will
do loops, and lands 55 kts. It does 200 kts. Flys 'knife edge' good.
BETTER UN-CK AUTO COORDINATION or all bets are off. OK?

I added flaps, so as to allow faster deceleration on approach. So
you will have to give it a little throttle, and up pitch trim to land. Other
wise you will stall out at 50 kts and it 'plunks' down hard. Included is
a short 10 sec video of 'knife edge' (feeble). Someone put out files
for this AC, and you couldn't do loops, and just stalled out. (I don't
think so!) Fuel should be 33%, 'Center' tanks only, for aerobatics
with other tanks empty (just a suggestion). Have fun.

//------ Installation --------------------------------------------------------------------
You can make a different (name) folder, to keep default intact. Then
copy model and texture folder from FS9 E300. Put thumbnail jpg in
the texture folder. Borrow the sound and the panel folders from the
default FSX E300. Your'e done!

Now crank down sliders, so you can get 16 fps for smoother flying.

    Awesome mod for the Extra 300! Thank you so much for your work, I very much appreciate it. Now it's even more fun to fly than before. It's good to see that the old FSX Extra 300 get some love, it's such a fun airplane. I also like the FSX version better than the Alabeo Extra 300 because that model was made only for 4:3 monitors and not for widescreen mode.
