Deki Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) Hi All, As per the subject, even at low speeds. The ailerons do not move at all. Turns/banks not possible. This is in OpenBeta 1.5. Anyone else experiencing the problem? EDIT - The following statement is wrong -> Apologies, the above does not seem to the a problem after all. I thought that the aileron booster was similar to the Mig-15's hydro booster. Clearly not the case as -21's are purely powered by BU-45. Thx. Deki Edited October 17, 2015 by Deki
OverStratos Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 I don´t know what you mean by "purely powered", but in the MiG-21 you can move the ailerons without having hydraulic pressure = booster aileron switch OFF. In the sim, when you disconnect the switch, ailerons don´t move and that should not be the case. The only thing that you can´t move without hydraulics are the stabilizers, that have an NP-27 emergency pump in case the main and booster hd system go offline. This is also not simulated yet in DCS MiG-21.
Deki Posted October 17, 2015 Author Posted October 17, 2015 That was also my understanding originally, hence the post. Since then I misinterpreted "The ailerons are powered by individual BU-45 single chamber hydraulic actuators...." from Famous Russian Aircraft Mig-21 by Yefim Gordon. It is clear to me now that the ailerons are hydraulically boosted whilst permitting lateral control with the booster being off in a conventional muscle power way, where as the tailerons completely rely on hydraulic power to function.
