[DCS BUG] Different Weapon Loadouts Have Odd Drag

[CrazyGman]

For some reason Drag on AIM 54s are way less then on the AIM 7s

 

when taking the 6 sparrow load out, If I switch out 2 of the AIM 7s on the wings for 2 AIM 54s

the top speed of the tomcat increases by over 20 knots, even though the weight is heavier now, and there should be more drag.

 

also a loadout of:

 

2gbu 10s, 3 AIM 54s, a lantern pod, 2 AIM 9's and 2 fuel tanks

 

Goes about 20 knots faster with over 3000 pounds more weight then a loadout of

 

2 AIM 54s, 3 AIM 7s, 2 AIM 9s, and 2 fuel tanks.

Known ED issue, effects a lot of jet it seems. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=247508&highlight=stores+drag - aka wingstation 54's add negative drag which probably explains what your seeing. So unfortunately we have to wait for them to fix this and their track record on fixing such things is piss poor... so it'll be a while.

We are still waiting to hear back from ED on this.

Can you also comment a little on the STT thread? Thanks!

I don't know enough about that to comment, sorry.

As long as the Hornet can go M 2.2 with certain racks and thereby being faster than the Tomcat, it's even more so a shame that the Tomcat with Zuni pods and TALDs isn't getting any faster than an A-10, except for when it lits the cans...
