Curly Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Wingsweep limits tweaked and will now sweep beyond 7.5G Thanks for raising this to our attention! Quick question, what’s the limiting factor on the sweep rate? Is it the air data computer or the hydraulic actuators ability to deal with the increased air loads at high g? The wing sweep system is pretty cool. I read quit a bit about it this week, but couldn’t find the answer to my question, thanks for the time. Really liking the Sim too.
Victory205 Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Thanks Cobra, was my pleasure :) PS: When can we expect this update to hit? PPS: You guys rock! I think it should be delayed for at least six months for proper testing... Fly Pretty, anyone can Fly Safe.

As far as I can tell there was no limit (atleast I have been unable to find any mention of one) and the point at which wing sweep would eventually stall would be when the hydraulic spindles ability to overcome the increased resistance with every added unit of G had been reached.

FWind Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 I think it should be delayed for at least six months for proper testing... Sweep angles change, the Lift and drag change.

Hydraulic Spindles? See, right there you show why this update should be delayed indefinitely until these "hydraulic spindles" can be properly researched and replicated. This could take years.
