Anti-skid proper behaviour?
But Nikola...
This is just wrong... a high performance car weighs a small fraction of an aircraft. In an aircraft you use way longer stopping distance for with no antiskid. Antiskid ON will give you the shortest distance. These are facts. There are performance charts that easily show this.
I get theoretical theory... but it doesn’t compute on aircraft.
And I don’t think OP was saying he has a problem with the antiskid and directional control... he was questioning why the skid marks when brakes are applied with antiskid on.
Back on topic- Yeah, I’ve noticed this. I have tried it with antiskid off and you can tell the difference. So it’s modeled somewhat but maybe not correct as you stated. Or maybe it’s just a graphic thing in dcs? Not sure.
Lol cautious... okay. Of course the physics aren’t changed. But that doesn’t change the fact that antiskid off will increase landing distance. That’s real life. Not sure if you’re a real pilot or not, but you should know that if that’s the case.
Exactly, thank you for explaining this to him... This is why I tend not to reply to anything on these forums. A lot of know it all’s, who don’t know it all.
Anti-skid proper behaviour?
Every plane I have flown in real life takes a huge penalty for antiskid off/inop. Sometimes double the landing distance due to no antiskid.
Anti-skid proper behaviour?
I know what lockup means, and I know what antiskid does. Except in DCS you see full line skids... As to give the illusion it’s a full on lockup. And I’m not saying it’s an actual lockup. If you land with antiskid off vs on, you can tell it’s working.
Anti-skid proper behaviour?
Not to stir the pot.. but would would that exactly mean then? Lol you will not have “skid marks” in real life without tire lockup of some sort.
That being said, it seems like every aircraft does the same thing on here. So maybe it’s just a DCS thing when apply brakes? Doesn’t mean it’s “locked up” in dcs standards but just a graphic?
You won’t stop faster with anti-skid off. You’d take a big penalty and be prone to popping tires.
I think what OP is getting at is the constant skid marks you’ll get when on the brakes? Which in real life won’t be correct with anti-skid on. I’ve noticed it myself..
GPS UNIT
They technically can be jammed... but in my real life experience, we used Garmin 430/530's with no problems. In the end, it depends on who are at war with... ha
Thanks for all the great work, love the product!
I recently switched to the new GUI as well.. Only thing I really think would be nice is to bring the slider adjustments to the settings like the old GUI had. I think it's quicker to do while flying rather then clicking the up/down numbers.
I haven't noticed any issues from right to left, but when I get home I'll check it out and report back.
If you're flying in a non-combat environment - lights on.. Nav, beacon, position, etc.. at all times/required.
Combat environment - lights used at airport, once you depart, all lights out.
