Mike77 Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) I’m new to DCS World and have a few questions. I’m running DCSW 1.5 Open Beta. Is wake turbulence modeled? Just wondering if, for example, a plane is refueling and gets out of position, will it get into wake turbulence from the tanker? Or if formation flying. Also wondering if ground effect is modeled? How about turbulence caused by terrain (i.e.: wind shadow or a rotor downwind of a mountain). I'm just curious really. Regardless of the answers, I am very impressed with what I’ve seen so far. Really amazed at the accuracy and depth that has been created. Definitely have my hands full for a long time :) *** I didn't see a place in the DCSW 1.5 Open Beta forums to post a general question so please point me in the right direction if I've overlooked it.

Steggles Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Ground effect as in with choppers? Yeah it is. Wake turbulence I'm not too sure about. -16AGR- 16th Air Guards Regiment is always looking for pilots - http://www.16agr.com EWRS - Early Warning Radar Script Specs: Gigabyte Sniper Z5-S Intel i5-4670k 3.4GHz OC'd 3.9GHz w/ Thermaltake 120mm Water 3.0 Pro Liquid CPU Cooler 16GB RAM Gigabyte GTX 1080 TM Hotas Warthog: SN: 06976 Saitek Pro Flight Combat Rudder Pedals TrackIR5 with TrackClipPro & Oculus Rift 2x 28" 4k UHD Monitors (3840x2160 each) + 1280x1024
Nealius Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Ground effect should also be present in fixed wing aircraft. IIRC it occurs when the height AGL of the aircraft equals its wingspan?
WildBillKelsoe Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 just air turbulence, not wake turbulence. IGE/OGE modelled (see UH-1H) AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
Mike77 Posted October 27, 2015 Author Posted October 27, 2015 Thank you for the replies. Sorry I didn't specify... I was thinking of fixed wing. I've never tried a helicopter, I've got my hands full with fixed wing aircraft! Mike Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk.
