The new critical angle of attack might be too low!
Sorry if I'm starting this thread and a similar one is already there, but I'd rather make this subject fresh as it regards new FM updates done to the MIG-21.
In the latest version, the MIG-21's FM won't allow for an angle of attack greater than 15 before the stall onset. Initially the critical angle of attack was fine and very appropriate for this type of wing at about 20 degrees even if it doesn't have leading edge droops. For the low aspect it has and high sweep, 20 deg. of AoA was quite fa
Few quick answers:
- UUA shows local angle of attack (note local)
- F2 view in human module will show you relative pitch angle although it says AoA
- local angle of attack is greater than relative pitch angle about 2 times
- exact local AoA calculation is implemented in the code
The only correct information about local AoA is what UUA shows.
