tflash Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) Strange, I had a mission starting on Senaki airfield that I flew many many times without problems. I didn't fly the Dora for a while, but now I simply am no more able to take off. The plane skids over the runway, and the tailweel doesn't align, it just stays in a cambered position and skids in all directions, as if the runway was very wet or had a thin layer of ice. Anyway take off is no longer possible at all. Did something change or is my muscle memory simply gone over time? ------------------- Damn I simply forgot to pull the stick backwards - so it was not my muscle memory, but my brain memory that was at fault :) Edited August 17, 2018 by tflash [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tflash Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 Yes I saw your post on the Bf-109. I guess indeed the new friction model is at play here. While I can take-off now again in the Dora (I was just doing it wrongly not having flown it for a while), the wheel on ground behaviour I agree with you, it seems not normal to me, it is as if the runway is rather wet or oily.

Rolds Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 It is all the war birds now. I'm unhappy with the change it seems to me to be a significant step in the wrong direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbrz Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 It is all the war birds now. I'm unhappy with the change it seems to me to be a significant step in the wrong direction. Not all of them. E.g. the TF-51 behaviour during the takeoff, (crabbed) touchdown and landing run is now definitely much more realistic. :) i7-7700K 4.2GHz, 16GB, GTX 1070 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msalama Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 is now definitely much more realistic How about the P-51D? Haven't flown her for a while and for various reasons cannot just now so would like to know. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
