Air combat maneuvers move and rudder!!

.... While carrying a few thousand pounds for air to ground? :D

I was tought to fly i real life, here we applay both rudder and flaps, in almost all turns we make. Turning without rudder, is a sloppy and incorrect way to navigate your plane.

 

For a prop but its not necessary for F-15 or SU27 in a turn.:pilotfly:

In modern fighterplanes the onboard flight computer, makes sure you take a correct turn and applay rudder control for ya. However at low speeds, rudder becomes very effective - if I am at 35 degrees AOA (F-15), the quickest turn will come from the rudder pedals. So to say its not necessary for F-15 and SU27 aint correct. For modern fighters, rudder pedal input is just telling the flight control computers that you are requesting the aircraft to yaw.Wich you use in several conditions as sidewind landings/take off.

 

My answer above is for when the pilot uses the rudder pedal. The jet's computers use the rudder control surface(s) a lot with no pilot input for all the standard aerodynamic reasons.

Yes, while carrying a few thousand pounds of bombs and drinking a beer. :D

The quickest roll will come from rudder pedals, but quickest turn will come from stock, which blends ailerons and rudder. In fact the ARI will completely take over rudder if you are at that AoA AND you deflect the stick to the side - in this games F15.

Then your flying a target ;-)

It doesn't for the F-15C/SU27 at low speed, you have to apply rudder to get the best roll.:thumbup:

That's exactly what I said. :P

Doh, lol my bad.:doh:
