Hi, i have been playing around with the pitch dampener, or lack thereof! I can hit 13g instantaneous turn without it! In RL would this pull the wings off? In the sim there seems to be no negative effect, obviously there would need to be serious maintenance once the plan was back on the ground. But it flies exactly as it did before the turn. :pilotfly:

Seems like the clean, structural max G is 2x the design limit (so 2 * 7.33)?

 

Testing now.

 

Edit: Hmm, maybe not...

Could the stress damage be cumulative? I was doing a series of high g, and nothing happened, when suddenly the plane fell apart in a 10,5 g turn. The last turn shown on tacview graph is when the plane disintegrated.

Managed to hit 18G!!! Wings stayed on, but second pull wing came off at just over 1G!

Just watched the track back and DCS reports 19G for first pull and 13G at which the wings snapped, from F2 view stats. Seems very hardy...

Perhaps you can pull it off once or twice but in the process damage your wings enough to make them snap during a way lower G turn?

ideal, thanks for the link, seems too hardy to me tho, surely a 19g break would kill the plane, and the pilot lol, it took a good few seconds to black out, which i guess is accurate anyway lol!!!

I pulled five 14G turns consecutively, then snapped my left wing off pulling a 16G after. Pushed the envelope just a little too far on that last one.

 

In any case, if it was real life, returning to base with that level of over-g on the air frame would have equated to some very angry maintainers and me flying a desk for a bit from my Commander. :P

what if youve had good reason. ie i needed to out turn my mig21bis pursuer to not be a smoldering wreck, or dodge a SAM, or something along those lines.

 

im sure the commander values pilot life over airframe stress. or has the USAF gone back into the "fly safe" mentality again from the 50/60s? :)

I'm not sure but I think one result of over-g'ing your F-5 is that you can't get the AIM-9 off the rails any more. Today I accidently pulled 10g in a dogfight with a MiG-21, and once I found myself perfectly lined up on his six for the missile shot, pressing the trigger didn't get the missiles off.

I'm going to have to experiment with the because I've had multiple occasions when I can't fire aim9, would make sense of it was g related...
