Jetwash

[mrsteel]

Is there any plans of adding jetwash to Dcs planes? I think it'd be a neat feature if someone gets too close behind you in flight and gets slowed down a bit or blown around.

Same to for down wash, I can slide in under a UH60 on take off and narda, nothing. :music_whistling:

+1 Though would maybe make AAR even more difficult :thumbup:

That+Realistic AA refueling physics and hose fluctuations and I will cry like a little girl!!:P

This is a feature that's needed badly, aircraft wake is very important. Especially with the harrier coming we all need to be blown around

If I'm doing AAR in a realistic scenario, best advice is to just don't use the same frequency as me, all you'll hear is this:

:megalol:

 

Anyway back on topic, I wonder if jetwash can also extend to wash and turbulent airflow from wings? Even if it has to be approximated then that would be excellent.

Hahaha :lol:

 

I agree, no need to make a simulation of everything, just with some kind of randomization (like the turbulence parameter) would already be awesome.:thumbup:

+1, this is badly needed. If too costly in CPU time, an approximation as mentioned above is still MUCH better than nothing.

Yep, I wrote this in my mega wishlist on this sub forum. We really need this.

Speaking of mega wishlists, I've got a huge one brewing, but seeing as grumbling convinced a 3rd party to pretty much jump ship I don't think I'm gonna post it anytime soon...

 

Anyways, the only big problem staring at me in the face with this is possible resource load on desktop PCs, at the moment AI aircraft (which at present, tankers are) are given SFM to save performance, I wonder what would happen to performance if we start adding realistic wakes and jetwash to them... I'm only speculating here, I'm no developer, regardless it would be great to see, it would give DCS a greater edge with realism.

We really, really need this. Any aviator is well aware of the dangers of forces like wake turbulence and just how serious these forces can be.

 

These few images can allow a pilot to visualize wake turbulence and understand just how powerful of a force it can be.

Yeah, pretty much anything physics related is going to contribute to the already overloaded CPU issues we have. Reorganising how it parses data to threads might help a little, but there's only so much we can do.

 

Basically, have to remember that PCs are glorified calculators. While many things are intuitive to us, a computer has to be described in intricate detail exactly what's happening, why, and even how it can 'see' it.

 

I think realistically, the advanced flight models DCS is known for are already taxing technological limits. It'll probably be another 10-20 years before we have the sheer processing power to truly round out the wishlists for intricate detail and realism.

Those are awesome photos...
