Don't use this mod, it became obsolete with the changes Asobo made to the DG-1001 with SU12!
Some adjustments (hopefully improvements) for the Asobo DG-1001E glider
version 0.1 (2022-11-22)
- adjusted eyepoint of front pilot to a little lower and more forward position for better side vision
- increased spoilers effectivity by about 100% (should now be possible to fly steep approaches without overspeeding) and decreased the pitch-down tendency with spoilers activated
- increased adverse yaw by about 50%
- decreased efficiency of the electric engine at max. RPM (after all, it's a sustainer engine which is said to reach a maximum climb of 1.5 m/s)
- increased the capaicty of the main (avionics) battery 10fold, so that it should not go off after one hour of flight, but be sufficient for even 6 hour flights
Installation: just unpack the folder to your Community folder. Tested with the glider tutorial flights.
Real life glider pilots: please comment on the changes; as I have no RL flight experience, they are only guesses.
Some advice for your sim setup:
- create a separate glider profile for your joystick: delete the engine bindings on the the throttle axis and use it for the spoilers. The throttle of the electrical engine can be bound to some buttons (increase and decrease throttle); a button is needed as well for the tow rope release.
- setting your avatar in the sim settings to "default" should replace the oversized pilot clipping though the canopy by a smaller female pilot

With SU12, this mod is probably not needed anymore. The devs have fine-tuned the flight model a lot. Just needs to be tested without this mod, then I will decide i I withdraw the mod.

Works perfectly, looks great
and is a great upgrade for the plane.
It is compatible with SU11,
thanks for that

Sorry to all downloaders - I didn't check the zip file, there was the SimObjects folder missing. Now it's complete, please download again.

Thanks.
I downloaded it again and copied it to the Community folder.
I can now select the aircraft, but the name displayed is "AIRCRAFT.UI_MANUFACTURER AIRCRAFT.UI_MODEL" instead of "DG-1001E neo".
Please correct it again.

If I put the downloaded folder in the Community folder, the DG-1001E neo will not show up in MSFS.
