Cake Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I'm not sure why simulating tire pressures are important. Can't we just assume that the Mx guys have them set correctly to specifications? 6700K@4.6 48Gb - 1080Ti Hybrid - Warthog - RIFT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmaclauchlan Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I think I get what he's saying. Taxiing in real airplanes isn't nearly as smooth as it appears in DCS. Taxiways are bumpy and you definitely feel it in the plane. Modeling that would add a bit more to the immersion of the sim. Necessary, no. Nothing wrong with putting it on the wishlist, though.

Cake Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Oh, sorry. I misunderstood. Ground handling is modeled in some of the aircraft, right? Taxi turn to quickly and you can ground loop and/or strike a wing? 6700K@4.6 48Gb - 1080Ti Hybrid - Warthog - RIFT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airhunter Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Yeah even the FC3 stuff has realistic suspension and brake and CG shifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyforDCS Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Doesn't seem that much different to me than the other jets in the game. Doesn't feel on rails at all however now that I've seen that video maybe the suspension could be "loosened" up a little bit?

Eldur Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Feels like something's missing here. If I'm not completely mistaken, the Viggen has all this modelled. So my guess is as usual: Early Access. On the other hoof though, the Tomcat also shares something with the other modules HB made so far, which is that strange alternating left/right roll bumping at higher speeds when still on the ground which gradually builds up that much that the plane eventually loses a wing due to this. Had that already in the Tomcat and didn't like it. Another feature shared across the modules is the constant need for a little bit of left rudder to stay on track when taxiing. And yes, I've double checked my rudder pedals thrice and didn't touch my rudder trim at all and having absolutely no wind on my testing maps. They all do it. MiG-21 (now M³), Viggen and F-14B. Not a biggie though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galf Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I'm pretty sure this will be worked on with time. In the bigger scope of things it is a very secondary feature, I'm sure it will get in once the major stuff is done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano87 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I think we need input from an actual F-14 pilot before we can comment whether this is unrealistic or not. Remember this is a carrier aircraft and as such will have a very differently setup suspension system for coping with carrier landing rather then being deployed from rough airfields etc. 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.

Airhunter Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Anyway, to get back on the original "topic , here is a good video showing the Tomcat's suspension and ground "physics" in action. 3HgUJT2zdYs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airhunter Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Yes, that maybe too but it also depends on various external factors. As for the suspension the current tomcat is way too stiff (like a formula 1 car) and the suspension does not really react to tight turns, ordenance or fuel tanks being loaded or short brake applications. Something that can surely be improved in the future, however for me it's quite low priority right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
