Nice..

It does to me, and others. Regards.

Thanks for the conformation. Regards

At the moment the Corsair trimtabs push the rudder and aileron into the wrong direction. Elevator trim is Okay. Thats why I started this as a Bug. Regards

For what it's worth. My experience with the flight model after a few flights is good. I definately needed curves of about 30 on all three axis, but now it feels convincing. The torque effect of the prop is a bit snappy with throttle I find. You would expect it to be more lagging, but...im not a corsair pilot. Now i'm learning to anticipate with rudder, I got it under control ..mostly. The aircraft is a hand and feet full, but as I understand it, that was the case in real life. I surely hope that realism of the flightprofile remains the goal and there is no tuning down to make it unrealisicly easy. Great first release, great machine. Regards

Concur Thanks.

Nope, the servo tab movement seems to be okay. When the ailorons deflect they visually assist in the movement an would reduce the force needed on the control stick. Seems allwright to me. But the trimtabs movement is wrong. John

With Rudder Trimmed left, the Rudder Trimtab should deflect to the Right, In the Sim. it deflects to the Left. With Aileron Trimmed Left The trimtap on the Left Aileron Should deflect Down, In the Sim. it deflects Up. The Response of the Aircraft when trimmed , is Correct. Regards.

Why not. I cant find any explanation of the mechanics connecting the Ailerons with the control stick. So that is why i'm interested. At the moment I'm puzzled . Can you give me a hind.. Grazias.. John

With folded wings, the Ailerons are movable, with input from stick. I thought the mecanical connection is only made with the wings spread. I could be wrong though.. Regards

Okay "Ironhand", thanks for the link to "contrails not moving" from 777coletrain. That link gives a far more clear and correct discription of the bug. The discripion of the bug in that link is mentioned to the team, by "bignewy". Hope it can be fixed in the close future. Regards

I did post about this bug about 10 years ago (and a rescent one in "clouds and weather"), but your observation and explanation is better. I first thought that the Smoke and contrails were blown away by a sidewind relative to the Aircraft, but after your post I dubbel checked and you are Correct. The contrails and smoke are not effected by the moving Air volume after leaving the tailpipe as they should. Would be great to hear from the Dev's on this and what their conclusion is. regards

Just my way of trying to be extra clear about what i mean this time. I was amazed that this bug is still present after i posted, and discussed this more then 10 years ago ! It should be high on the list of correct basic flight simulation in my opinion. It isn't. It is not realistically simulated at the moment ! You are speaking for the entire DCS Community it seems, but I am just trying to help this (Almost) Perfect Flightsim become better by delivering my personal Input. Then again, my text was a bit to loud, I agree (did adjust it). Regards. # Ironhand: Thanks, I will look in to that post too

Wow, if it is true that airframes experiance sideslip effects, when there is no sideslip, there is a big problem with the calculations for flight simulation in DCS. I was hoping that it are just the grafics of smoke en contrails that are faulty. I hope that the Dev' wil react on this!?

I had this gripe a long time ago, and i thought it was solved but it sadly is not ! Situation: -Flight F16, 24000Ft, 300kts, Heading 360, with Cond trail , wind was 30kts/090. and NO Sideslip !! -External view, looking from the nose to the tail, exactly alligned with the longitudinal direction of the Airplane. Observation Contrail Direction: -The contrail is NOT in a straight line into the longitudinal axis of the airplane as it should, but it is in an angle as if the Aircraft is in a sideslip It seems that the contrail is not traveling sideways with the Aircraft in the volume of air after leaving the tailpipe. In short: flying wings-level, with no sideslip, the contrail is angeling sideways when it should be straight allong the longitudinal axis of the Aircaft. Hope it will be Fixed because it is strange to see smoke or contrails leaving the aircraft in an angle. because of this, It looks like Aircrafts in DCS are in a constant sideslip while they are not. Regards.
