Now that a lot of people are flying AFPD. I am starting this thread to upload your videos, you can use it to show your acquired skills upto that point or for taking some opinion on a particular mistake that you are making, for instance say, Hover with the aeroplane facing away from you. Real life video for me has to wait till my Contour GPS arrives. Here you go, my Amateur effort. Used Fraps for capture

hmmmm i need to install my simulator back now

Did you like the song??, no comments ? c'mon you can be critical about it.

Awesome song!!! Have heard it many times but every time I hear it I get goose bumps.

2:30 onwards was good.0:00-2:26 was BETTER. To you sir and your comrades for keeping us and our skies safe.

Can't say much about the flying.It seemed good to me.

Nice sir. But changing the topic to something like 'Post your skills' would be attrack more members I guess

Thanks guys, Hover is easy, Hover control requires slight bit of practice, Azhagu ! changing the heading

I was practising hover in pheonix till now. Was doing very good in pheonix(Using Zivko Edge, both has this model). When I tried in Aerofly there is lot of difference. Pheonix demands more rudder input and no torque roll was there when I hover but Aerofly demands more aileron input to keep it steady from torque roll but minimum rudder input.

Which is more realistic?

[For planes Pheonix lacks the reality of stall. Normal planes stall but in pheonix, planes are not stalling so I usually edit the models to put the CG little forward so that it appears like a stall effect at low speed]

Aerodynamically , Aero Fly Pro Delux (AFPD) is much closer to the real thing, more real than Realflight G5.5, my opinion and a lot of people in other forums have voiced similar opinion. AFPD  has the German passion for perfection

PS
In AFPD you can increase Wing Loading, change span etc

Edit
Expanded AFPD

+1
Eventhough I am a complete newbie, I feel that the controls in Aerofly are closer to the real life situation than Realflight.

I thought AFPD is a style of flying. now only I realized its AeroFly Pro Deluxe

Now if Gusty bhaiya called his effort amateur, this is what you you call amateur to the power infinity 

Used a Frontech game pad JIL-1731

good flying, rohit, you can afford to be little less jerky (it is almost like Bang Bang control input, is it to do with your controller ?), plan out your manoeuvre and call out what you do , have a sequence card it will help you, i can send you my sequence (It's about 176 sequences) first 86 are for practice and the rest are  competition sequence incl F6d sequences

Thanks Gusty bhaiya and yes most of it has to do with the controller. First of all it is old and almost worn out, due to which the the analog controls are no more smooth, its not proportional anymore. When I give in small inputs, I don't know why it over reacts, thats why they say not to use a game pad for flying in sims. Secondly, I don't get the feeling of the controls with a game pad compared to a real TX. I don't have a sim cable for my RDS8000 and at this moment I can't afford one. So, will have to manage with the gamepad.

Sure, I would love to if you could provide me the sequence. And thanks so much for all your suggestions.

keep it up mates!

here is my Amateur Video on 4D flying, Back Flip Cartwheels and Toss, Be advised, it is a kinda shock flier, very rapid movements, some of you who are used to smooth aeros may not like it. njoy !!!

People who have AFPD and do not have Monsoon 4D, gimme a yell

  Does this plane had variable pitch blades . I see the plane going back and forth or  its you skill which makes the plane appear like that?

The cart wheels looks nice. One more reason to get me thinking about foamies again.

some more

Does this plane had variable pitch blades .

yeah! it does in fact i have one scratch built 4d with a variable pitch prop. 4d flying is certainly more difficult

Wow! Nice thread and coool flying!!! Have no clue how I missed this thread  Gusty Bhai, could you be kind enough to send me your sequences you offered in one of the earlier posts  Right now my flying style has no particular style so far and am hoping to improve it 

will do sam

PS
today did non stop flying for 4 hrs, drained and dog tired, went to the field just before the breakfast was served and came back after the lunch was over missed both, wish i do this more often

Thanks Gusty Bhai, by the way, which one? flying 4 hrs continuously? missing breakfast and lunch? or both?  

here is customised RC India aeroplane (With logo on the cowling and on the wings), long video , never a dull moment (Atleast for me)
Highlights are
(a) One wing flying and aeros
(b) Torque Rolls
(c) Dome landing
(d) roof Landing
(e) Dual Aeroplane torque rolling
(f) Rudder wetting

Enjoy
