earnil Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 Hello everyone! I've been playing with different loadouts on Hornet and noticed that maximum speeds you can reach, are, for some of them, rather strange. Two results that stand out for me are that max speed with 6x 120B is barely M1.0 whereas with 8xGBU12 and fuel tank it's M1.5 at same altitude. On top of that, carrying only 4x 120B seems to increase max Mach to 1.5. I'm attaching a picture with test results with different loadouts as well as the track for the 8xGBU test (all other tests were exactly same conditions). Other details: - Altitude: 40900ft MSL - unlimited fuel - immediately after start, BALT autopilot engaged, full AB - AIM120B are always single rack Apologies if this is not bug. If not, I'd be really grateful for explanation why these speeds indeed make sense. Thanks!FA18 - 8GBU Speed test.trk
Deano87 Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) Weapon and multiple ejector rack drag is very WIP. Well known issue. Will get looked at later. If you want to see something really strange then load the wing pylons with the practice bomb carriers and the centre pylon with 2x Mk82, drop/jettison all the bombs (but not the racks) and you can now enjoy a Mach 2+ Hornet lol Edited February 12, 2019 by Deano87 Proud owner of: PointCTRL VR : Finger Trackers for VR -- Real Simulator : FSSB R3L Force Sensing Stick. -- Deltasim : Force Sensor WH Slew Upgrade -- Mach3Ti Ring : Real Flown Mach 3 SR-71 Titanium, made into an amazing ring.
