GumidekCZ Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 How to accelerate fast enough but without grat loos of alt? Everybody knows that this is done by UNLOAD, best to 0.0G but even 0,3 - 0,4G is enough. I was trying to do it, but no matter how much I unload, I have feeling that plane acceleration was very very slow and almost the same with level (1.0G) flight. Only little bit faster due to loss of 2000 feet. This is not report of bug, but could be, if I know how to meassure ammount of acceleration in DCS properlly. So if you want to make good thing for DCS, please try it and devise the acceleration measurement. Many thanks :thumbup:
Demongornot Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 AFAIK the reason why you accelerate more while unloading G is due to the fact that the aircraft AOA when you push down is close to 0, which mean that rather than having a light positive angle to generate lift, you here go completely ballistic, therefor your aircraft cause less air resistance cause you don't have any angle, you attack the air perfectly straight having less surface exposed to the incoming airflow. So basically it might drastically change from an aircraft to the other, the F-15 for example with his big wings and large flat body might have a clear advantage unloading G over the Hornet or the Viper who have smaller wings (in surface area) and a slimer body. But you still have to fight the air in front of you nevertheless, because only a fraction of the original area is decreased, so maybe the Hornet isn't the best at this.

GumidekCZ Posted June 23, 2019 Author Posted June 23, 2019 No matter what plane, there needs difference in acceleration with wings generating lift - holding plane in air, and acceleration at 0.0G.
Emmy Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 The “Four Forces” interact dynamically so when you lessen or remove one, the others should work better. When you remove gravity (or the need for lift by going into ballistic flight) then yes, you should accelerate more quickly. Even a C172 will accelerate if you “bunt” to get light in the seat.

SirJ Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 what weight was your hornet? try to increase it (max fuel, lots of mk84..) then you should see a bigger difference due to higher AoA in level flight -> way more induced drag...
Hog_No32 Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Maybe it is just a testament to what Jell-O and others have said on the FPP: Compared to other 4th gen fighter jets, the Hornet is not the greatest plane when it comes to getting speed back after you got slow. It‘s not a Viper... (but still so much more adorable IMHO)
