Desert Wind 2 - a refined version of my former Post “Desert Wind”
This version now has an automatic adjustment for the sail to keep it from tipping over.
There are also some other improvements.
How to operate:
Set the wind speed to 40 Mp/h.
You may also need to set “Physics” to “high” in the game settings.
AG1: Jets on / off (for maneuvering or going up hills).
AG2: Automatic sail adjust.
AG3: Extract / retract sail.
Roll: Steering.
VTOL: Adjust the sail.
Pitch down: Jets.
Brake: Brake.
Gauges from left to right:
Fuel, speed, heading, banking, winch (the white indicator shows your setting, the yellow indicator shows what the winch is really doing.), throttle.
The switch “auto” turns the automatic adjustment for the sail on.
This is especially useful when turning.
Good sailing…
