doedkoett Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 If you want a challenge, try Pahute Mesa. Took a few tries and a light aircraft. But then I am not a skilled Viper driver. :-D
Icebeat Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 On touchdown pull the stick (AOA must be on the green) until the nose comes down while airbrakes and wheel brakes.
Badlego Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 Anti-skid may still be WIP, as it is not present atm. You have already stated this. Locked tires need a longer way to stop your plane. And i assume that friction of blocked tires may be a bit faulty in DCS....it is very hard to calculate and ED may not have info about the friction coefficent of locking f16 tires....why should there be data about this anywhere^^.... Good point about the airbrakes override...i will try that ASAP
bbrz Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 The F/A-18 has the same problem. Antiskid on or off doesn't make any difference except that directional control is better with antiskid on, but the brakes are definitely too weak on the F/A-18 as well. i7-7700K 4.2GHz, 16GB, GTX 1070
Badlego Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 it should be clarified, that the brakes are not too weak when they can block the tires.....
bbrz Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) Yes, we all know how it works IRL. The point is that (at least) on the F/A-18 and the F-16 you need considerable more stopping distance than according to the performance charts. With or without a/skid. In both cases, a/skid on or off, the tires appear to stop rotating intermittently. The only difference is that the rubber marks are more dense with the a/skid off.

MadCat1381 Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 Agreed, seems more like the frictional coefficent between the tires and the ground is too low. And if I understand the technical documentation (NATOPS a.s.o.) correctly, the anti skid system should prevent the wheels from locking up.
Eldur Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 And if I understand the technical documentation (NATOPS a.s.o.) correctly, the anti skid system should prevent the wheels from locking up. Something I've yet to see in DCS. Even with the A-10, which is one of the oldest modules, I can make tyre marks with full brake pressure and slip all along the runway on locked up wheels with ease. That's the reason I never apply full brake pressure at all.
