    Souricette MB02 - Image 2

    Description

    The “Souricette” is an old dream of Michel BARRY. This dream was to develop a minimum aircraft, but without concession to safety or piloting pleasure. Only the performances which, in his opinion, are never directly linked to safety and pleasure, could be sacrificed. This was done as soon as he realized that a rustic and relatively thin single-seat cell could be built with 80 kg of common wood and powered by a 12 HP motor. An internship in the USA made him discover the NACA 0417 profile and its astonishing finesse for Reynolds of 2106. This profile, initially studied for speeds of the order of 300 m/s (transonic speed), revealed an interesting operating peak around 30 m/s, where it was not expected and especially where no one had thought about using it! More efficient than the traditional and older NACA, it presented above all the same performance (fineness and maximum Cz) as thinner profiles (12 to 13%), whereas it, 17% thick, made it possible to achieve a higher spar (170 mm for 1 m of rope) and therefore lighter (about 10 kg less for each half-wing) compared to NACA equipment by 13%.

    Despite the fog and the snow, Michel BARRY carried out, aboard the "Souris-Blanche", a simple jump on the runway of FERTE-ALAIS, on February 13, 1993. The next day, the feast of SAINT VALENTIN obliges, the weather being more favourable, our friend Michel BARRY was able, for more than an hour, to make changes which revealed the excellent flying qualities of the machine and its perfect tolerance to the most unusual situations!

    New version:
    Adjusting the cockpit view height
    Modification de la hauteur de la vue cockpit

    15 days ago

    Excellent modèle ! Cependant la caméra de base est trop basse, je l'ai remontée à 2.4 dans le camera.cfg, c'est largement mieux. Après, j'ai remarqué que l'avion a tendance à "danser" (roulis léger d'un côté puis de l'autre). Est-ce un comportement normal qui correspond au réel ? Dans tous les cas j'imagine que ce genre de détail est bien plus compliqué à corriger. En tout cas super boulot, à l'image des autres addons que vous proposez.

    Merci pour l'intérêt que vous portez à mes réalisations.
    Pour ajuster la vue, j'utilise beaucoup les commandes dédiées du simulateur, mais effectivement, la vue du cockpit au démarrage est un peu basse. Ce sera l'occasion d'une mise à jour!!
    Quand à l'instabilité en roulis, je ne le constate pas chez moi. Par contre j'ai modifié les réglages de bases de mon joystick en diminuant la sensibilité autour du neutre. J'ai fait de même pour le palonnier.
    J'ai fait un essai en augmentant le moment d'inertie du roulis, mais ça devient vraiment trop mou et lent en roulis.
    Je pense que la solution serait de diminuer la sensibilté sur le réglage du joystick.
    J'espère vous avoir aidé

    Minor issue with the rudder pedals which are animated the wrong way around.

    Thank you, this small plane really makes you smile (sourir). Very nice to handfly.
    I solved the windscreen issue mentioned in some comments by changing the Windshield Effects to Low (under General Options / Graphics).
    On my first flight of 35 minutes I used about 36 liters. That is quite a lot for a 27 HP engine. Some 6 to 7 liters per hour seems a good figure to me. So I changed the parameter fuel_flow_scalar to 0.1 (line 7 of the engines.cfg file).
    Because I like to start a flight Cold & Dark on a parking I changed the parameter TankSelector to Off (lines 150 and 151 of the apron.flt file).

    View of the Windshied

    10 months ago

    Sir please look at the tree line on the right hand side of your photo it is clear outside the cockpit then through the windshield it is blurry (noticeable on trees). I looked for texture albedo or roughness files in paint kit but nothing there can’t see where you’ve defined the material for the windscreen but there is some material or affect applied to it that’s causing it to be blurry.

    I can’t fly this plane like this, all my other planes don’t reduce sharpness through the windscreens, I could not fly them if their glass looked like this one does. And I see exactly what you post here, to me this is too blurry. Graphics settings don’t make any difference to this. I want to fix this myself but I don’t have the model of course. It’s an excellent plane but I need to see thru the cockpit windshield clearly

    Hi
    It's actually a bit unclear. I'll check at home and see what I can do.

    I love this plane but for some reason the windscreen is blurry like it has a bokeh affect applied to it. I can't find anywhere to change this in the paint kit. Always sticking my head out past the wind screen to see where I'm going. Can this be changed? Also the battery died during flight but there's no alternator switch.. are we supposed to use an alternator switch keybind despite there being no switch in cockpit?

    Hi
    I can't help you because everything is working normally at me .I use only MSFS 2020.
    The alternator is configured correctly (there's no switch) and it recharges the battery as soon as the engine is running.
    The windshield is transparent (see images on the website); this problem may be due to the settings of your video card or other graphics card.
    Sorry.
