fix the balance problem with Evektor SportStar

[Guest Brett Campany]

Hey guys, if you've got the Evektor EV97 for FSX and you've found that it keeps going to the left, well I've been working on the fix.

 

Follow these steps-

 

Open:

 

Microsoft Games/Microsoft Flight Simulator X/simobjects/airplanes/ev97

 

Look for the aircraft.CFG file and double click it. When it asks what program to open it with, use "Notepad".

 

Now before you make any modifications, make a copy of the aircraft.CFG file and put it in another folder incase this doesn't work for you. I'm 99.9% sure it will work though.

 

OK, open the "aircraft.CFG" file inside the EV97 folder and over write the contents with the text below. Once you've done that, close the file, click "yes" to save it and go flying. Any issues, place them here.

 

COPY EVERYTHING BELOW THIS LINE.
