Su25/T brake chutes effectiveness

[Jay]

Hi folks,

 

sorry if this was discussed earlier (didn't find similar thread though) but it seems to me that the Su25/T braking chutes' effectiveness in 1.1 is exagerrated. I mean you hit the P key and your plane almost instantly stops like it was trapped by some cable. This wasn't present in earlier version. There was quite normal chute's effectiveness for all Russian planes and it seemed pretty good. Well, I'm not expert for this but don't think that even two chutes can stop a plane going over 250 km/h so quickly... what do you think?

 

ED - are you gonna tweak this somewhat in the BS or is it just good as it is for now?

Well, I remember complaining ages ago in earlier versions that they weren't effective enough!

 

Remember full parachutes will slow the descent of loads weighing many tons ... so slowing an a/c, I would think would be faily dramatic - no evidence, just IMHO!

The effec it´s very strong in the Su-25´s. But on the other planes it´s almost useless. I don´t know how it´s the real thing, but it should be more like the frogfoot:unsure:

Dont compare to a parachute falling down as thats being dragged downward by gravity the whole time - whereas a plane landing is slowing and braking anyway plus there are the frictional forces of the tires anyway and the chutes for aircraft are designed differently.

 

my thoughts anyway, i think it is realistic.

why not?

 

wheeeeeeee :)

why not?

 

wheeeeeeee :)

 

the speed is still 207 and probably gonna accelerate through parachutes maximum force capabiltity (the force it can hold before being torn off - or speed in lomacs case i.e. 250) but yeah i see your point :P

[Force_Feedback]

in lomac's case the speed is 299 kph 20C summer, if you deploy the chute below 15km, the thing will only slow down, no broken chutes at all.

No. No tweak at all because the Su-25's chute effectiveness (i.e. CD)is precisely tuned. The braking distance either for wheel brakes or chute with wheel brakes fit the reality. We know the chute total area and the CD for the chute is well known so everyone can esimate its effectivness.
