Schleicher K7 Rhönadler two-seater glider (Version 1.02)

A vintage two-seater steel tubing, wood and fabric training glider which evolved into the K13, still in use in soaring clubs today.

This is a faithfully modelled ASK-7 two set training glider, which originally flew in 1960. It had good performance for its day, with a glide ratio of approximately 26:1. The K7 is constructed with a welded steel tube fuselage covered in doped aircraft fabric covering while the wing is a wooden structure, again with a doped fabric covering. This is the first modelling project for GlideSimmer67 and a huge amount of care has gone into the model (see the images incldued here). B21 helped out with the flight model and the programming.

See intro video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dprKVPPGpno

Version 1.02 corrects a model texture that accidentally included an inappropriate symbol and also properly synchronizes the internal and external views of the canopy open/close status.

Features of the MSFS model
  • Exceptionally detailed model, inside and out.
  • Authentic panel with both an uncompensated VSI and a TE vario, without the modern audio lift indication.
  • Carefully modelled and animated yawstring attached to the forward pitot, operating in both yaw and pitch.
  • Distinctive flight model, 26:1, with a much lower wing-loading and airspeed range than modern racing gliders.
  • Modelled P1 and P2 cockpits with individual panels and multi-part animated canopy.
  • Automated winch launch provided via the tow-release lever.
Buttons/key event mappings available in MSFS "Settings/Controls"
  • Winch launch / tow release mapped to "TOGGLE RECOGNITION LIGHTS" (same as AS33, LS4)
  • Radio knobs recognize standard MSFS events, i.e. INCREASE/DECREASE COM1 FRACT/WHOLE

Congrats to a nice first release.

As someone who has flown the K7 quite some time (I even made my instructor rating qualification flights on it), as well as the K13 and K2b, I'm very pleased to see this classic glider make an appearance in MSFS and definetly recommend it.

Incase you're planing to refine it in future, I'd like to share some of my notes:

  1. The default pilot's camera position is too low. I'm fairly averagely sized (1,76m) and the side window is just under my shoulder line and the wings about eyelevel when I sit inside. You generally get the impression of sitting on top rather than inside the glider compared to modern gliders with tugged in seating positions. When I manually adjust my head position in VR I do glitch threw the top of the canopy occasionally. Still the correct position is important to me for landing.
  2. The curved tube above the panel looks a bit polygonal. In the real one this part is more oval shaped with a soft curvature.
  3. The drag may be on the optimistic side of the spectrum. Even when adding full aerodynamic penalties it accelerates a bit to quickly in shallow dives. Even in calm weather I remember flying with not less than 1m/s sink rate (the one I flew was not aging too well frankly) and it handled like a brick.
  4. Spoilers may also not be draggy enought. One of my most fun expiriences with the K7 was coming in for a high apporach on final at 70km/h and upon reaching the beginning of the runway at an altitude of 150m deploying spoilers fully and gently pushing the nose into a ~30° dive. Even with that attitude, the speed remained constant at 70km/h until touchdown. Doing outlandings with such impressive spoilers should be a piece of cake. Currently they are not quite as good.
  5. The CG with a pilot weight of 80kg is beyond the forward limit which is odd considering the real one has a minimum front seat weight of just 65. Also being able to put some weight on the rear seat would be nice.
  6. The skid has too little friction. Not sure if that's something specific to this aircraft only, but the real one is very draggy. So much so that you can some crazy 20m fullstop landings with it.
  7. The inside of the fabric has a plain white texture it seems. it would be very nice to see it replaced by some fabric like texture to cover up most of the inside, which otherwise just looks a bit empty.

I'll try to spend more time with it and add things along the way.

thanks 5tuka - I agree with all of that. Some of these things didn't get a lot of attention as we pushed to get this online (excuse the excuses). The L/D ratio is ok (max ~ 26) but I'll see if I can keep that while increasing the drag (and redo current efforts to make the spoilers speed-limiting which presumably will be affected). The only piece that will be extremely difficult to change is the 'skid friction' as FSX and MSFS have decades-long history of being a basket case of modelling ground and tire friction (i.e. there are no config parameters, you just say this contact point is a 'skid' or a 'wheel') and MSFS thinks you need large tires and the weight of a power aircraft to generate any friction at all and grass is mysterious slippy stuff that no-one should ever land on - we have to cheat a little and do our best.

Just a curious Question, what happens if you add a small Wheel at 90° to forward Travel to create are more frictive/fricticious/fricalamcious Skid and make it extendable as a Brake? Just put a little Label on the Cockpit "For strong Brake, extend Gear". or something.

What are the winch parameters? Cable length mainly - I am asking, because I managed to gain 850 meters in light wind conditions until the auto release clicked. In real world, we had 1200 meters steel cable and got around 350 meters top in similar gliders.

You're absolutely right the height gain available from this K7 winch would be awesome in real life (I think the best I've EVER had in the UK is 2000 feet / 650 meters which needed quite a headwind). I've made the winch launch 'one-click' to operate but generous so people that want/need the extra height can get it, and I guess they can release early if they're happy with less height gain. It's always a question of how much more programming to do (i.e. add user settings for the winch) or focus on other things including other MSFS gliders. With a bit of luck Asobo will deliver all the launch options we need in November.

I see, thank you for the explanation! Yes, it would be awesome to have this in real life! 😊

I also very excited to see what kind of solution Asobo will give us later this year. They promised both winch launch and tow plane. A bungee option would be also fun.

I did not find any tutorial but a paintkit most of the time is a completely white livery without any patter or labels, just technical decals like bolts, shadows, dirt, technical labels (no step, emyc exit, ...). Paintkit often has placeholders for Livery name and description and sometimes includes a simplified 3D model for 3D painting.

Created a Paint kit, however I did not mage to make it loadable as a livery.

I will upload it anyway and hope for the community to help filling in the gaps.

Generally great Effort and well done.

What I love:

  1. The Cockpit Animations
  2. The Sounds are very well done

What still needs some Work:

  1. Please Add two Payload Positions, for FI and Student, the FI sits basically in the CG but the Weight influences the Glide Characteristics. Right now there is only the Front Seat modelled.
  2. The empty CG and Front Payload need adjusting, the Front Seat is good for 100kg Pilot and still be within the Limits.
  3. Side Slip Angle is faaar too small. A Ka-7 can easily achieve 30° without Airbrakes and almost 45° with extended Brakes
  4. The Effect of Side Slip is vitually Non-Existent when Brakes aren't deployed. It should drop at well over 10m/s with Full Brakes and in a Hard Slip. In a Hard Descent slipping and with full Brakes it will decend at a 1:1 Ratio,
  5. The Ka-7 is a Spin trainer. Even with a Heavy Pilot it will Stall and it can be spun, at least half a Rotation even with a heavy Pilot and FI in the back. Right now I can't get it to even stall.

Useful feedback - thanks. We'll do an update for the K7 (we already have some things pending) and may be able to incorporate some of this. Surprisingly, you can see me testing the sideslip here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dprKVPPGpno&t=520s (that was unplanned penance for launching with the spoilers open). Where did you get the 30/45 degree numbers from? By the way the current (1.02) MSFS K7 has a really sharp stall which I'm moderating in an update - you not being able to stall it is confusing, could that be due to your payload adjustments?

you're mixing your slips up, you're talking of forward slip not side slip

I'm measuring the slip angle through the air at full rudder while setting the bank to whatever it needs to be to stop the aircraft rotating (i.e. as in both forward slip or side-slip). I think KlausMann makes a good point as there are two parameters on the current (1.02) K7 which are under-configured and changing both of them moves the slipping flight model significantly in the direction he's suggested. One is the current rudder is +/- 25 degrees, and I've updated that (on my dev copy) to +/- 30 degrees as per the K7 operating manual. Also the current spoilers have insufficient drag (there is no spec for the drag coef of the K7 spoilers, but they *should* be speed limiting). I've adjusted that on my dev copy and overall we have a more accurate plane. So all good - I'm sure few will notice though.

I don't have much time on the Ka-7, mostly K-13, but the 7 is very similar in the Slip, and slipping hard you Aim over the Wingtip to see where you are going.

Great work, I was really excited to see a classic glider. I had time for a single flight, flying a simple pattern, but it was fun. Can’t wait to get a longer flight later this weekend.

Finally I am able to fly the K7 without having to land after 45 minutes because of back pain 😀 Handles very believable and authentic as far as I can tell (haven't flown it for like 10 years or so). Really nice! I made a short video as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjEXI-atwDU

Very nicely modeled K7 was just 02:13:50 on the way in San Vitore started the Rivera high past the Pizzo Claro, the Leventina high above the Gotthard Hospental, then back again via the Bedretto valley past the Christalina and in the Bavona and Maggia valleys I had only one drop in altitude on the other (not recommended, these two valleys are too rugged) via Ponte Brolla Losone Locarno to LSZL Locarno Magadino on the 26L landed! Hallelujah THANK YOU for this beautiful vintage glider 👍🍀💖

Great glider, really enjoying it a lot. But as of v. 1.0.2 the slip indicator works incorretly - when I push right rudder the ball also moves to the right, while in reality it should move to the left (due to inertia). So sadly now it is impossible to verify correct coordinated turn (or you have to try hard not to look at the ball 😉 ).

As it was explained on FB MSFS gliders group - sadly the ball in built-in MSFS turn coordinator works incorrectly - it is not on the glider developers side - hope MSFS will fix this.

In an upcoming update I've replaced the Microsoft simvar on the slip ball with new custom code. The algorithm's not ideal (MSFS doesn't give you the 3-axis G-force data you'd need to do it properly) but IMHO it's considerably less shite than the 20-year-old MS implementation. There are a few other things to be bundled in the same update, so not sure exactly how long, but probably only a couple of weeks.

I learned to fly in one of these 40 years ago (similar livery too). Altimeter in feet and airspeed in knots would be a nice option if possible. Will provide more feedback when I've spent a few more hours in it.
