MadMonty Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 Yesterday I flew Eastern Friendship Mission 3. On the hunt for the MiG29 I flew with a full afterburner at about 20,000 feet. Somewhere at Mach 1.06 my elevators started to oscillate, the whole plane went dangerously up and down. At first I thought it was the autopilot that was overcorrecting. Another approach to Mach 1.06 brought the same phenomenon without autopilot. As soon as I took out the throttle and reduced the speed, the swinging stopped again. My payload was 2 tanks, 4 AIM 120 and 2 AIM 9. Is that what is supposed to happen? Does the F-16 do the same in real life? It certainly didn't look very healthy for the plane...

bbrz Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 No, it's not supposed to happen and there are already a few threads/reports about this problem. i7-7700K 4.2GHz, 16GB, GTX 1070
MadMonty Posted October 31, 2019 Author Posted October 31, 2019 Thanks - I didn't notice that with the abundance of threads. That gives the Russians a few more seconds of their lives :music_whistling: PC: Asus ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming | AMD Ryzen 7800X3D | Palit GeForce RTX 4090 Game Rock OC | 64 GB Patriot VIPER VENOM DDR5-6000 Input: Brunner CLS-E FFB Base | Thrustmaster Warthog Joystick & Throttle | Thrustmaster TPR Pendular Rudder | WinWing Phoenix MIP (VR) - F16 ICP - PTO2 | VPC SharKA-50 Collective VR: Pimax Crystal Super 50PPD Motion-Platform: Motionsystems PS-6TM-150 | Monstertech MTX Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@madmontys6dofmotionplatfor386/featured

I had the same thing happen on that mission - I solved it by closing the refuelling bay door. Turns out I forgot to switch it off after tanking.
MadMonty Posted October 31, 2019 Author Posted October 31, 2019 Nope, that has not been the reason. An open refueling bay door leads to a strange flight behavior already at way lower speeds... The bay has been closed while the shaking startet beyond Mach 1.0 PC: Asus ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming | AMD Ryzen 7800X3D | Palit GeForce RTX 4090 Game Rock OC | 64 GB Patriot VIPER VENOM DDR5-6000 Input: Brunner CLS-E FFB Base | Thrustmaster Warthog Joystick & Throttle | Thrustmaster TPR Pendular Rudder | WinWing Phoenix MIP (VR) - F16 ICP - PTO2 | VPC SharKA-50 Collective VR: Pimax Crystal Super 50PPD Motion-Platform: Motionsystems PS-6TM-150 | Monstertech MTX Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@madmontys6dofmotionplatfor386/featured
Eldur Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 I had this once yet - with ALT FLAPS at speeds that are very much too high for flaps. Didn't know the bags drag is that excessive, never had a reason to take them.
