Lindbergh - DPLA - 957e7a44b920f167707ea3fa3da60327 (page 3).Ryan built the Spirit of St. Louis to carry fuel for Charles Lindbergh's solo Atlantic crossing. A high wing and single radial engine surrounded a one-seat cockpit whose fuel tanks blocked the forward view. Lindbergh flew from New York to Paris in May 1927.
The restricted visibility and sparse cockpit reflect this purpose-built aircraft's long-distance mission. The simulator represents that customised layout.

Schiff’s EAA replica had a second seat in space occupied by fuel tanks in the original aircraft. A different engine, starter, avionics, brakes and tailwheel supported its later flying role. The replica's equipment differs from the original aircraft.
Designer: Donald A. Hall
First flight: April 28, 1927
Developed from: Ryan M-2
Lindbergh recalled the heavily laden aircraft gathering speed slowly on the rain-softened field. Once past halfway, he judged that it would clear the obstacles ahead. After passing a tractor and telephone wires, he turned away from higher trees and began following his compass course. An accompanying photographer’s aircraft eventually turned back, leaving him to continue alone.
At the other end of the journey, recognising Paris did not immediately settle where to land. He saw the lights of Le Bourget but thought the airfield should be farther from the city. He flew beyond it to check, then returned and descended until he could identify hangars and roads packed with cars. A low pass and a circuit into wind brought the long flight to its end.
Schiff approached the replica with a sense of occasion, then discovered how much work its cockpit demanded. Daubner occupied the forward seat during the checkout, blocking the small windows ahead. From the rear seat, Schiff had to rely on side views and peripheral vision as he learned the aircraft.
The control stick initially seemed unnecessarily tall. As the flight continued, his hand crept higher to gain more leverage against the heavy ailerons. The rudder and elevator needed continuing attention too, and even light disturbances could interrupt the aircraft’s balance. Those demands increased his affection for the machine as well as his respect for Lindbergh. A relatively short flight over Wisconsin made the endurance required for the original ocean crossing much harder to imagine.
Hammond described flying the replica through a combination of side-window views and anticipation. The windows ahead of his shoulders supplied useful peripheral references, while the skylight let him look towards the space into which he was turning. Seeing where the aircraft was going required a different habit from looking straight ahead through a windscreen.
Landing brought another adjustment. He used a sideslip to keep the runway visible and preferred some headwind, because the clean airframe could float along the approach. These were familiar characteristics to a pilot who regularly flew the aircraft, rather than reasons to dismiss it as impossibly difficult. Hammond still found the opportunity remarkable: the routine work of operating the replica had not removed the pleasure of flying such an unusual machine.
Before flying the replica, Cassens practised in another aircraft with its windscreen made opaque. The exercise prepared him for the restricted forward view that would be part of his new cockpit. After the first flight, he reported that the aircraft had behaved well, although its low drag made it reluctant to slow down and the ailerons felt somewhat heavy.
The flight completed a project with a much longer history than those preparations. Cole Palen had obtained a Wright engine in the 1970s, and work continued after his death. Cassens took the project forward with assistance from the museum holding Lindbergh’s original aircraft. His straightforward first-flight assessment therefore marked the culmination of years of construction, research and renewed effort by the Rhinebeck team.
Ragozzino’s first outing in Spirit of St. Louis 2 lasted roughly fifteen to twenty minutes. Afterwards, the aircraft returned to its hangar so the team could discuss the flight and attend to discrepancies before continuing the test programme. His immediate comparison was with driving a heavy truck without power steering, accompanied by obvious enthusiasm for the experience.
He had joined the project years earlier and contributed to its design work, organisation and fundraising. Reaching the flying stage turned that sustained effort into a new set of practical tasks. The report looked ahead to recreating the Atlantic crossing, but the achievement it actually recorded was this first local flight and return. Ragozzino’s earlier round-the-world journey belonged to a different aircraft, a Super Stearman.

This starting point selects Ryan NYP “Spirit of St. Louis”. Its aircraft-level settings do not select a particular developer’s custom systems.
The chosen resistance accompanies this mission-built aircraft. Spring resistance builds with the selected airspeed response. A separate aerodynamic term adds speed-dependent control load.
Configured pitch relief is separate from the fuel-tank and visibility arrangement. Valid trim provides the configured pressure relief. Autopilot following is off.
The Spirit of St. Louis placed fuel ahead of its single-seat cockpit, obstructing forward view for the New York–Paris mission. The custom airframe and sparse instruments belong to Lindbergh’s May 1927 flight rather than a production touring-aircraft cockpit.
The gains are normalized profile settings. They describe the chosen effect balance; hand force depends on the device and its output limits. IAS references are tuning values rather than operating limits. Physical acceptance of this revision remains pending.
施加于模型产出的一切、在设备上限之前的最终整体输出缩放。
调高: 一切(弹簧、载荷、效果)一同增强。
调低: 一切一同变柔。
设定理由: Scales overall profile strength while preserving effect balance, subject to device and output limits.
把摇杆拉回中央的基础回中力。其他所有力都叠加在它之上。太低,正常飞行中摇杆会发软;太高,它会与你的手较劲,并掩盖叠加其上的细微提示。
调高: 更硬的回中,更抗手。
调低: 更软的杆,只靠气动载荷。
设定理由: The chosen resistance accompanies this mission-built aircraft. The baseline spring is 0.74. Its low-speed blend reaches baseline strength at 42.5 KIAS.
Smithsonian Spirit of St Louis collection中央附近弹簧保持安静的小中立区,让静止时的微小移动不会咔嗒作响。更宽更安稳但更松,更窄更精确但可能在中央附近抖动。
调高: 更安静但更松的中央,旷量更大。
调低: 更紧的中央,静止时可能抖动。
设定理由: Sets travel around the centre before the baseline spring resists. Smaller values engage it sooner.
作用于两条持续轴载荷的主缩放,在它们各自的独立平衡之前施加。配置文件通常不动它,而是调校两条轴载荷。
调高: 两轴载荷一同加重。
调低: 两轴一同减轻。
设定理由: The aerodynamic-load gain is 0.8 with an indicated-speed reference of 85 KIAS. This supplies speed-dependent loading alongside the spring.
启用低速弹簧介入窗口(上面的起始/全强度节数)。关闭时弹簧在所有速度下恒定。
设定理由: Allows baseline spring strength to rise with indicated airspeed where the control law permits it.
在静止、空速尚未产生气动力之前,弹簧还剩多少。下限高,停机时摇杆结实;下限低,则是停放轻型飞机那种钢索松弛的感觉。
调高: 停机和滑行时杆更结实。
调低: 停机时杆发软,只随速度苏醒。
设定理由: Sets low-speed spring strength as a fraction of baseline when blending is enabled. One keeps full strength.
弹簧从低速下限开始向全强度攀升的空速:起飞滑跑中操纵面"苏醒"的那一刻。
设定理由: Sets the IAS where the low-speed spring blend starts rising. This is a feel threshold, not a flight limit.
弹簧达到全强度的空速。从起点到这里,随着气流在操纵面上增强,回中逐渐变硬。
设定理由: Sets the IAS where the low-speed blend reaches baseline strength; high-speed stiffening also uses it.
气动载荷达到设计满值的指示空速。它把整条载荷曲线锚定在飞机真实的速度范围:172在110节就载满,喷气机要晚得多。
调高: 载荷来得更晚;杆轻到更高速度。
调低: 载荷来得更早,巡航更沉。
设定理由: Sets the IAS reference for aerodynamic loading. It is an estimate, not published cruise TAS or a flight limit.
在偏转载荷之外,回中本身随速度变硬的程度。零则中央手感恒定;越大,巡航时回中越硬,起落航线上越松。
调高: 中央随速度明显变硬。
调低: 任何速度下中央手感恒定。
设定理由: The high-speed spring-stiffening gain is 0.15. It strengthens the permitted spring response above 42.5 KIAS, with the squared-speed ratio capped at 5.
速度驱动的中央变硬上限,防止高速飞行把弹簧无限上紧。
调高: 高速允许更多总硬化。
调低: 硬化更早封顶。
设定理由: Limits the squared airspeed ratio used for high-speed spring stiffening; it is not a device-force cap.
由副翼偏转和空速产生的持续横滚载荷,独立于俯仰调校。与升降舵载荷一起,决定评测中常说的操纵协调比。
调高: 横滚力更重。
调低: 副翼更轻更灵。
设定理由: Roll and pitch aerodynamic scales are 0.6 and 0.78, respectively. They set the aerodynamic axis balance. No custom spring-travel curve is enabled.
由升降舵偏转和空速产生的持续俯仰载荷,独立于横滚调校。这是决定机型俯仰重量的主杠杆。它不影响副翼、弹簧、配平或抖振力。
调高: 速度下持续俯仰力更重。
调低: 升降舵更轻,握持更省力。
设定理由: Scales pitch aerodynamic loading; pitch spring travel and trim responses are separate settings.
每个稳态俯仰或横滚力到达设备前的上限,防止猛烈机动中砸击或饱和硬件。
调高: 削波前更高的稳态力峰值。
调低: 更柔的上限;猛烈机动更早被抹平。
设定理由: Caps directed-force output. Native spring effects and device limits remain separate.
升降舵配平缓解持续俯仰力、移动杆的安定位置的强度。在100 %时,配平得当的飞机不需要保持压力——正是真实飞行中"用配平消掉载荷"的流程。
调高: 配平消掉更多持续力;100 %时满配平可完全抵消。
调低: 即使配平也仍要持续用力。
设定理由: Configured pitch relief is separate from the fuel-tank and visibility arrangement. Pitch authority 0.3 provides load relief and permitted centre movement; roll authority is 0.
Smithsonian Spirit of St Louis collection横滚配平的同类缓解。多数通航机型没有真正的副翼配平,所以保持为零;有横滚配平的机型获得相应的值。
调高: 横滚配平消掉更多持续力。
调低: 横滚配平作用更小。
设定理由: Scales supported roll-trim relief and permitted centre movement. Zero removes roll response.
由轮速和地面类型(铺装、草地、砾石)产生的滚动振动。
调高: 杆上更强的地面质感。
调低: 更平滑的滑行。
设定理由: Sets rolling texture strength, modified by speed, surface and undercarriage configuration.
来自伸缩缝、车辙和粗糙地面的短促离散颠簸,为持续隆隆声打上标点。
调高: 接缝与车辙的冲击更清晰。
调低: 更柔的地面细节。
设定理由: Sets gear-bump texture during ground motion, separate from touchdown impact.
接近失速及失速警告响起时的机体抖动:这副机翼宣告不满的音量。断失干脆的机型抖振收敛,让喇叭承担警告。
调高: 更强的失速前颤抖。
调低: 更含蓄的机翼;警告交给喇叭。
设定理由: Sets stall-buffet strength. Zero removes the cue without changing simulator stalls or warnings.
接近马赫极限的跨音速抖振。对接近MMO的喷气机有意义,对到不了那里的活塞机和涡桨机为零。
调高: 接近马赫极限时更强的跨音速抖振。
调低: 高马赫下更平滑的飞行。
设定理由: Sets high-Mach buffet strength; onset and full-strength thresholds are separate.
襟翼伸入气流后机体的低频振动,发生在它们真正做功的速度窗口内。
调高: 襟翼做功时更粗糙的飞行。
调低: 更柔的进近襟翼。
设定理由: Sets flap buffet at the configured position and speed gates. Flap movement texture is separate.
可收放起落架悬在气流中引起的机体鼓振。固定起落架机型为零,它们的机体外形从不改变。
调高: 放起落架时更多鼓振。
调低: 放起落架飞行更干净。
设定理由: Sets gear aerodynamic buffet; movement and ground-contact cues are separate.
由飞机自身失速警告系统触发的专用抖杆器振动。只有真有抖杆器的机型才有值;其余全靠气动抖振和喇叭。
调高: 更硬的抖杆器。
调低: 更含蓄的抖杆器。
设定理由: Sets triggered shaker strength; inactive while the shaker feature is disabled.
机轮触及跑道那一下的单次冲击,按下沉率缩放:轻柔着陆是耳语,结实到达是一记闷响。
调高: 触地时更硬的一击。
调低: 更柔的到达。
设定理由: Sets landing-impact strength; landing telemetry and response shape determine the pulse.
反推或桨叶beta区工作时的滑跑振动。无反推机型为零。
调高: 反推下更粗糙的滑跑。
调低: 更含蓄的反推。
设定理由: Sets reverse-thrust vibration with valid reverser and engine conditions. Zero removes the cue.
从慢车到全功率跟随转速的持续动力装置振动——前方有东西在烧油的永恒提醒。
调高: 杆里更多发动机。
调低: 更含蓄的发动机。
设定理由: Sets estimated engine vibration using configured telemetry and response, not measured cockpit vibration.
仅在模拟器报告襟翼舵面确实移动时的持续振动。它跟随真实作动器的运动和故障,而非估算的计时器。
调高: 襟翼移动中更多振动。
调低: 更含蓄的襟翼行程。
设定理由: Sets texture from observed flap movement; a command without movement does not establish the cue.
自动驾驶指令可以让杆实际移动多远。在MSFS中保持极小,因为移动的轴可能被读回为飞行员输入;零则完全禁用跟随。
调高: 自动驾驶让你的杆移动得明显更多。
调低: 几乎察觉不到的跟随。
设定理由: Sets admitted AP-follow gain, not a percentage of travel. Runtime ownership and input limits still apply.

Where this effect reaches full strength (or has fully faded, for washouts).
调高: a more gradual build to a later peak.

调低: it begins earlier.
设定理由: Sets the first flap detent that admits buffet; this is a handle index, not degrees.
Whether this feature is active in this profile.
设定理由: Permits shaker at supported warning conditions; the switch does not establish aircraft equipment.
