![]() After more than a decade, it’s still available on Steam and runs at a solid 60fps on Steam Deck. Having reviewed poorly at the time, it’s effectively vanished from the collective consciousness. On a more fundamental level, it remains the Ridge Racer that is absolutely nothing like Ridge Racer. For example, there is one on the side of the cockpit if you would like to add your name there.Nobody knows why the ‘ed’ is on the end there, but hey-ho. There are a few decals available on the exterior that can be changed just by modifying the textures with alpha channel. ![]() The exterior largely can be painted easliy. Some areas, especially in the interior have the textures mirrored and some UVs overlap. I have included some files to help repaint this model. I wish I could make an authentic sound pack but really, if you flew this in life, you would only hear very loud engine and wind noise and I imagine it's not very enjoyable. This package includes one of the stock sound libraries. If it was kept in flyable condition, it would maybe see very few flight hours. This would actually spend most of its life in a museum. The flight model has been developed around a Curtiss airfoil () which would be appropriate for the time it was originally designed. I used many references, so this is not attempting to recreate any particular real-world aircraft, but a realistic homebuilt replica version of the type. I developed the engine performance and flight model to be both real world plausible and easy enough to fly in the simulator. The propeller pitch is set for reasonably high speeds, so you will need more throttle on the ground and as the airspeed increases, adjust lower to stay below the RPM redline. If you are having a hard time flying this plane, please try settng your weather to clear skys and give it a chance. When stable below 100 kts, you can select flaps and end up at 70 kts on final with as gentle a touchdown as you can manage.Īfter touchdown, apply brakes along with gradual backpressure on the stick to keep the tailwheel on the ground.Ĭrosswinds are not recommended. Take your time because diving the nose down will pick up too much speed. Plan ahead to slow to below 100 kts while decending to pattern altitude. Use keybindings for alieron and rudder trim to adjust. You may find that you have a consistent roll. Turn off fuel pump and adjust throttle and mixture for best fuel economy. Adjust the throttle to stay below the redline RPM. When the tailwheel lifts, be ready to apply left rudder as needed to maintain centerline. Full rudder and brakes will engage differential braking to help make tight turns as long as your speed is low. Avoid spending too much time at low idle.Īs with any taildragger, visibility is limited. * At low RPMs, the alternator may not produce enough voltage to charge the battery. If engine starts, adjust throttle for 700-1000 RPM Turn key to energize magnetos and continue to rotate to start ![]() you can call ahead and get clearance into most airspaces and airports.Ĭopy the sal1800-brown-b2-racer directory into your community package directory. With no transponder, you may think you are limted with airspace, but in the U.S. "Miss Los Angeles" raced in the 1934 Nation Air Races and Thompson Trophy race and competed for a few more years after that.Įxperimental rated. A modern replica of the 1934 Brown B-2 air racer orginally built by the Brown Aircraft Company of Montebello, California. ![]()
