timbob67 Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 I'm curious - I know that a fair few planes in Lock On have a thrust/weight ratio greater than 1, and should therefore be able to accelerate vertically. No matter how hard I try though, I can't seem to do it.... Is the thrust of the engines in the sim fudged at all?
GGTharos Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Yes it is, but on the other hand, so is the perception that these things can accelerate vertically ... they can, but not very far.

timbob67 Posted July 31, 2007 Author Posted July 31, 2007 Oh.... I didn't realise that. Got any good links to any in-depth technical articles about that sort of thing? It'd be good to put my understanding right!
GGTharos Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 There was a good thread about the F-15's thrust ... let me see if I can dig it up [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda

Because he is a real F-15 eagle pilot and also a friend of GG … (Anyway GG thinks he is a friend :D) The big question is: “Where can we find the promised patch (made by Yo yo): In BS-stand-alone or FC 1.2 add-on or BS-add-on?
