CHINA_HAT_FWD Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 Hi All, When troops are loaded in the sim does the gross weight of the aircraft increase? If so, what is the weight of a single solider that is used to make up the extra payload? Thanks in advance! CHF
Tiramisu Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 Yes, absolutely! I have tried to takeoff with 14 soldiers, full fuel weight and full armament, but I could not do it, because I was too heavy. Then I disembarked them and suddenly my Huey was able to take off much easier. Maybe the center of gravity is also changed by loaded troops, but I have not tested it, yet.
MadDog-IC Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 Hi All, When troops are loaded in the sim does the gross weight of the aircraft increase? If so, what is the weight of a single solider that is used to make up the extra payload? Weight of a single soldier is ether 80kg or 100kg from memory, and their weight is added to the gross weight of the chopper once embarked. Regards, Ian.
