I have a doubt

How is the missile launch sequenced?

Yeah, the A-10C has the exact same problem. It's a bug.

thanks for the reply :thumbup:

You may want to start phrasing your questions a little better, like, for example "How is the missile launch sequenced?", rather than implying that people are stupid.

 

Here's the launch sequence from the old -34 (F-15 weapons manual):

When Will it be fixed?

there is a date for the update ?

No, there is never a date for a fix or an update.

 

I suspect that cofcorpse will be the one responsible for this, and he will fix it when possible.

its interesting that while they alternate sides when launching SRMs (clearly to keep balanced), the MRM launch sequence is different - the missiles on the right side are launched before the missiles on the left side (seemingly without concern for balance)

 

i'm curious --- why might that be??

[GGTharos]

Probably small arm, so small moment of force even though it's 1000lbs - it's a small lbf. Just a guess as to why they don't mind do it.

 

As to why they do actually do it that way in terms of station order, perhaps the effect on CG fore/aft is big (easy for us to test :D ) or perhaps there is a technological reason like both missiles on the same side being tuned simultaneously (each side gets a separate waveguide).

 

In other words, no idea :D

I'm no expert in aerodynamics but my first thought was that launching the MRMs along the aircraft's longitudinal axis may result in less drag after a specific number of launches (most notably, two) than the other way around. Simply because they are positioned closely behind each other, unlike on the wings.

 

Image a situation where you launch the front right MRM, then if you fire the aft right MRM you practically have no extra drag on the right side and the left side having the aft missile in the "leeward" of the front left MRM, if that makes any sense at all.

 

In comparison if you fire the front left missile instead of the aft right, it could result in more drag.

 

Also the real aircraft can trim it out, we can't, because well, trim doesn't work. If you fire some missiles and try trimming the plane will go the other way, the trimmer is simply not "detailed" enough for a lack of better word. For instance on the Stang or the Hog you can make far more sensitive trim. The only real way to trim it out is autopilot but that's kinda counterproductive..

I tend to cycle through the Missiles instead through the change weapon function.. cycling between an AIM-9 & AIM-120 until the rightmost missile is selected.. Then everything goes Alternate: right missile, left missile... right missile.. until Winchester. Just so I won't end up flying the Eagle right wing heavy.. ^^

I do not know how the missile with little weight can Affect the aerodynamics.

the plane is too heavy, small missiles should not affect the aerodynamics.
