Ahmed Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) Tried crosswind landings. - Aircraft doesn't crab into the wind at all, seems directionally unaffected by it - Tends to roll into the wind (expect to encounter downwind roll, if any) Test mission attached with 20 m/s (~40kt) crosswindxw.miz Edited March 12, 2015 by Cobra847
Corrigan Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Huh. The FM is gonna get some attention in the upcoming patch, I think, and I certainly hope this is on the agenda. Win10 x64 | SSDs | i5 2500K @ 4.4 GHz | 16 GB RAM | GTX 970 | TM Warthog HOTAS | Saitek pedals | TIR5
theGozr Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 .............. Hope Fly it like you stole it..
Justin Case Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 You are right, this aircraft barely reacts to a crosswind at all... http://www.masterarms.se A Swedish Combat Flight Simulator Community.
TurboHog Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 I think this has been resolved in 1.2.11... But now I didn't have enough rudder authority to keep it on the runway after landing :helpsmilie: 'Frett'
Ahmed Posted November 18, 2014 Author Posted November 18, 2014 I think this has been resolved in 1.2.11... Yep, I tested and it is fixed. Good job.
Justin Case Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 I still belive there is something off about the way the MiG-21 (or maybe DCS) handles wind. The attached screenshot is from the quick "Take Off" mission. http://www.masterarms.se A Swedish Combat Flight Simulator Community.

I guess LN already know this but it's something with DCS since the SU-27 shows the same behaviour. http://www.masterarms.se A Swedish Combat Flight Simulator Community.
PFunk1606688187 Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Did you just answer yourself? Warning: Nothing I say is automatically correct, even if I think it is.
MBot Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) The problem with this screenshot might not be necessarily related to the MiG-21 FM. I agree that it looks wrong. But I assume that while the MiG is affected by wind, the contrail particles in DCS propably aren't and therefore remain stationary in space. This would then result in the impression that the aircraft is incorrectly crabbing into the wind, while it is actually correctly flying straight in a moving air mass. This is just a theory, I didn't check it yet. Edited February 8, 2015 by MBot

sissypilot Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 This is a fast plane. It barely notices crosswind up to 15m/s. Now I land with a 3m/s crosswind and have to deviate the nose with some 5-8 degrees. Do the math. 3 m/s is what 11kph and you descent with 400kph that is a 400 unit vector forward and an 11 unit sideways that tg(X)=11/400 the deviation should be 1.75 degrees. Now the plane is way tooo sensitive to crosswind....
sissypilot Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 There is an other thing I noticed which makes me believe that something is fishy around wind math. I set the ASP to gun mode I think it was in "CC" manual and flew straight crosswind and the piper deviated significantly to the wind, which was weird. Flying low with some 900kph the plane noticeably drifted at a wind speed of barely 3-4m/s which is odd from a fast plane. I did fly slow prop planes and at that wind even the small, slow prop planes did not have to deviate from the course of the runaway that as much as I have to with a fast jet in DCS.
