AI flight path of MiG-29G

[TOViper]

Hello,

 

today I made an interesting screenshot regarding A.I.'s ability to follow the lead aircraft.

Both A.I., both same aircraft (MiG-29G, visible in the middle of the screen, the two on the left side are flying OK), same load-out, should be formation flying in 10.000 m over Nevada.

He (maybe she) is obviously having some problems ... :megalol:

 

I am pretty sure it was related to the wrong speed at altitude with heavy load-out (two outboard tanks).

This pumping seems like flying near or under stall-speed, then changing potential into kinetic energy by releasing the stick, and then climbing and going for a stall again ... regulator problem with too low damping for the altitude?

Shouldn't the damping factor be related to dynamic pressure which depends on airspeed and density?

 

In a second attempt I let them fly in 8.000 meters and it worked like a charm.

 

Three question arise:

 

1. Has the A.I. information about stall speeds?

2. Is the stall speed overruled by the waypoint settings in terms of speed?

3. Is there a relationship between damping of the pitch regulator and dynamic pressure?
