The Flight Lab D-LZ 129 Hindenburg operating
instructions ![]() |
The cockpit views are rotated with the 1 key with the mini panel as the icon interface and gauge reference Also to be noted is the viewpoint in all but the forward views is from the main salon where the passengers would be greeted by the staff |
The Virtual Cockpit view is also positioned with this
starting point so as to allow the maximum default range using the middle
mouse wheel Shift and Ctrl keys to scroll around the
interior. The map below can serve as a guide for the first tour
of the ship with the gondola and the flight deck on your right and down
the stairs |
The following keys are used as an alternative to the panel icons |
F2 Compass F3 Radio F4 Sextant F5 Drift Meter |
F6 Altimeter F7 Autopilot F8 CD player display |
The main deck of the Hindenburg had a piano
and music can be played by clicking on the face to open
the lid where you will find instructions for its use or
pressing

.
To simulate the weightless condition this model uses the fuel system and gauges found on the panels to add and remove ballast .The DF Button will set different amounts by clicking each cornerfor takeoff and landing a load of 10% is ideal and once at altitude a full load will arrest your climb |
the flaps are used to bleed lift in this model and during level flight are set at 25% , higher settings will cause decent |
The Hindenburg did not carry liquid fuel and so the need to set unlimited fuel in your aircraft realism settings to add and remove weight is used without a great break from reality and its 6000 mile range |
The spoilers act as an airbrake as does the landing gear so don't forget to raise your gear when in free flight ( This will also make the swastika dissapear included only because it was there on rollout day but i do not feel comfortable with leaving it there , call this a compromise) |
