whiteladder Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Is the DCS world we have Flat or Round? And is this the same for both the current maps.

chromium Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 AFAIK Nevada is curved. Caucasus is not (exept for ME map). I might remember wrongly, but two helos flying at 40 mt on the opposite side of the caucasus sea had los with script testing.

An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously.
NeilWillis Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Spherical you mean? Globes are spheres, coins are round. The NTTR Map isn't round, it is rectangular. It is also a fraction of a sphere.

From that perspective it is explainable why we see it as round but it also cant be from what we also know as true, a true paradoxon for our brains ;) You can wind that thing endlessly...I will stop here :lol: Gigabyte Aorus X570S Master - Ryzen 5900X - Gskill 64GB 3200/CL14@3600/CL14 - Sapphire Nitro+ 7800XT - 4x Samsung 980Pro 1TB - 1x Samsung 870 Evo 1TB - 1x SanDisc 120GB SSD - Heatkiller IV - MoRa3-360LT@9x120mm Noctua F12 - Corsair AXi-1200 - TiR5-Pro - Warthog Hotas - Saitek Combat Pedals - Asus XG27ACG QHD 180Hz - Corsair K70 RGB Pro - Win11 Pro/Linux - Phanteks Evolv-X
QuiGon Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 The map is curved, it is not round as the whole planet is not modeled. I thought it is possible to fly to the poles in DCS. I remember a thread on this forum where someone posted a comment, where he explained how he flew to the north pole on the caucasus map (unlimited fuel activated) and when he came close to the north pole the NAV system was going crazy.

Faelwolf Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 It gets more fun when you get into gravitational permutation, and try to wrap your head around the fact that the Earth doesn't orbit the Sun, the Sun and Earth orbit each other (and it's gets weirder from there, especially in quantum mechanics). Earth's gravitational field does not logically map with its outward distribution of mass, either, and experiments have shown that it is also inverted, in a way. Two long plumb lines mounted parallel with each other will angle closer at the top, with a projected point of intersection roughly 100 miles above the surface rather than towards the center of the Earth. It is a very strange potato.
