Hey guys,

how can I lock the nose wheel in the AJS 37 Viggen, I cant take off with the nose wheel being enabled? Just btw is it normal that the plane is so slow, i mean i cant even fly with the joystick throttle on 50% thrust/military power and that realy sucks, i expected a plane that could roughly fly as fast as the m2000 :/

 

but thanks in advance,

There is no lock for the nws

 

And it can fly fast. It has different engine than the mirage, so expecting something like the mirage isn't really right

is mode BER for me

 

 

Sorry - Yes you are right. This is for the SU-27. My bad :cry:

i cant take off the plane without nose wheel lock, what should i do now?

 

Read the manual

 

Do the training missions

 

Set a curve on rudder axis

 

Try not to touch rudder

 

Practise a lot

The Viggen Will outrun both the Mirage 2000 and Mig-29 on the deck as it is today (not tested with F-15 or Su-27 yet) been doing Drag races against both and after a few seconds of afterburner the Viggen starts to pull ahead (if both aircraft are clean or lightly loaded).

 

So its Certainly not slow =P.

 

The engine in the Viggen is of a different type from the engine in a Mirage 2000

so the performance levels at different RPMs are different.

 

The Engine in the Viggen is the Volvo RM8A

(Based on the Civilian JT8D engine but with modifications and a Afterburner section from Volvo added)

It gives out 65.6kN Static Thrust at Military power and 115.6kN Static Thrust with Maximum Afterburner.

In comparison the Snecma M53-P2 delivering 64.3kN Static thrust at military power and 95.1 Kn at full afterbuner.

 

So while the Viggen has a very slight thrust advantage in MP the Mirage due to significantly lighter weight will be faster in MP.

But in full after burner its a whole other game as you can see the Viggens After burner providers significantly more thrust giving it

better acceleration in full afterburner.

 

They are different engine types with different advantages (The Viggen engine is also significantly older).

 

But depending on loadout you should be able to cruise at speeds between 700-900 KPH+ using just MP.

 

But Mill power is only really used for cruising if you need speed just jump into one of the Afterburner modes and you are incredibly quick.

 

Unless you are light and have a long runway use Afterburner on takeoff

(Stage 2 is a good medium but if you want minimum take off distance use Stage 3)

stay in afterburner untill you are gears up and around 500kph+ then you can either go to MP or Stage 1 Afterburner (Stage 1 will let you keep accelerating at a faster rate rate while burning less fuel then Stage 2 or Stage 3).

But this aircraft Certainly is not slow once you punch in the afterburner =P.

 

 

As for the nose Wheel Steering.

 

Are you using a Twist rudder Joystick? since there is apparently a know problem with some Joysticks with Twist rudder atm.

 

If you are using Rudder Pedals then simply set up a little bit of a curve and there should be no problem taking off.

 

And on how to crate a Curve.

 

Go into Controls then Axis assign then you select the Yaw/Rudder Axis device and then Tune Axis.

And then you adjust the curvature and try it out to see how it is ingame and if you need to adjust it further.

 

Start buy making a curvature of 10 for example and you can adjust further if you need it.

i dont know how i can change the curve

 

settings->axis->rudder axis-> in german it is achseneinstellungen", don't know the english word though->slide the curve slider up and try it

welche soll ich wählen damit zu beginn das ruder nur sehr wenig input hat`?

The rudder control is bugged, so sending people to RTFM won't accomplish anything.

so i was just flying and doing some high alt testing, but when i was going decently fast my pilot would even if i just did anything with the joystick just pass out and then the image looked like this and i basically couldnt do anything cuz the pilot would pass out again, never had any problems like these with other planes

 

PS: just had this again, wat some 13000m or so the engine would go out and then your screen turns grey, i managed to go low and then start the engine again in flight and land somewhat successfully

make sure oxygen is on

ajs viggen is not designed for high altitudes

 

please make an effort to learn at least some basic info about this aircraft, there is already enough info provided in these forums to write a small book

RagnarDa of LNS has confirmed that the noswheel steering angle is too wide, and that this may cause the high speed instability that many have observed.

I have a tendency to enter yaw oscillations if I try to correct my heading with my rudders on takeoff. It's a lot more stable with SPAK autopilot damping off, which it shouldn't be.

 

So, for now, try setting up a curve as mentioned, and try taking off with SPAK off. Just press the lower left green autopilot button. Light off means SPAK is off. This will be fixed.

already did and now most of my take offs are successfull, and i am not even a noob at this game XD

When taking off, go full burner and pull back a little. It will keep the damn nosewheel from messing things up for you. See how I did.

 

The real Viggen didn't like too much downforce on the nosewheel either. :)

because you know that 'cause you've flown one in real life for sure

He might not have flown it.

But he worked on them if i remember correctly.
