Can anyone authoritatively confirm? "TRY"G = G/cos(AngleOfAttack) so... turn rate = sqrt( ( G/cos(AngleOfAttack) ) ^2-1) * 9.81 / airspeed * 57.3 also "TRY"Speed = Speed/cos(AngleOfAttack) It's easy to verify (see track and tacview file): sustained turn at 20m, TAS 216kts, AoA 22.85deg, turn rate 14.115 deg/sec, 2.735g HUD speed is 199kts . 199tks /cos(22.85 *pi/180 ) = 216kts with "turn rate" same story - "TRY"G = 2.9679 calculated turn rate with "try"G = 14.11 deg/sec 1G with AoA=30deg = 1/cos(30 *pi/180) = 1.15G Maybe Mover confirm or decline how showing G and speed in DCS world... f-18-400.trk Tacview-20210519-015206-DCS.zip.acmi Edited May 18, 2021 by totmacher "Своя FM не пахнет" (С) me https://dcs.silver.ru/ DCS World Sustained Turn Test Data Asus Z97M-PLUS, Intel Core i5 4690K OC 4126MHz, 16Gb DDR3 DIMM 2250MHz (10-10-10-26 CR2), GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karasawa Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 It's worth noting that even at sea level, when the AOA is high, the indicated air speed is significantly lower than true air speed. This is due to the deflection of the incoming airflow inside the pitot tube. Surprised that this effect is simulated for the F-18, because the look up table is related to the type of the aircraft, and normally not published. The calibration curve in flight manual is for low AOA only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(11.5dps vs 10.19dps) Mind explaining this, ED? (You can guess where I found the real F-16 manual.) Isn't 50 DI a result of wingtip 9s, 4x empty AMRAAM pylons under the wing, fuel tank pylons on the inner wing stations and center but not loaded? Last time I checked this would total a DI of 51. But there are no AMRAAMs or tanks loaded with that setup.. only wingtip 9s. The centerline pylon empty is 7 by itself, the wing tank pylons are 8 each. The LAU-129 with the adapter under the wings is listed as 6 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The centerline pylon empty is 7 by itself, the wing tank pylons are 8 each. The LAU-129 with the adapter under the wings is listed as 6 each. The data shown in Excel is clean. I just checked the DI of 6 AMRAAMs and pylons. The wing tip pylons are already included in basic aircraft. 2 AMRAAMs at wing tip yield DI = 8, 4 AMRAAMs under wing contribute 20 to DI, 4 pylons contribute 24 to DI. That makes total DI = 52. That is very close to 50 Edited May 20, 2021 by karasawa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pretty much never happens that you remove the wing fuel tanks pylons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can perform a cobra or tail-slide or with a VTOL and pause at 90 deg AOA to see whether the acceleration values are based on wind axis or body axis. Watch out for gravity components though. Stay away from 90 deg pitch. In EFM we calculate the acceleration components in body axis at sensor position by ourselves, which will also include the pitch/yaw rate effect on accelerometers, compared to those at center of gravity.

Additionally, Google: Tulsa Air National Guard F-16 Jettisons Fuel Tanks Over Grady County, and you will see an actual photo of a 370 gallon tank blown off a F-16 in a field. Yes all 370 wing tanks for F-16 are integral fuel-pylon assemblies. There is no such thing as an F-16 370 gallon tank which comes apart from the pylon. A different pylon is used for AG store or 600 gallon tank on these stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hummingbird Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 What I don't really understand, is why we are given no news in regards to the FM from ED themselves. They're keeping oddly quiet on the matter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot 'Everything is subject to change' I thought I saw some F-16 FM adjustments though. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkman222 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) It was announced. Then the entire announcement was removed. Looks like ITR and onset werent ready yet, so they removed the post and did not mention it in the changelog. EDIT: Not really sure either if they worked on something on the FM but did not mention it. Feels a little different though. Cant really tell. Edited October 20, 2021 by darkman222 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b0bl00i Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Feels like it's a bit snappier when rolling (max deflection) and a bit more sensitive to wind. Cross wind landings feels great now. G-Onset Rate is still very slow and seems to stop at around 8, takes a very specific speed regime to get into 9gs.. I guess we wait some more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither it's just aircraft g aka load factor, so n = L/W, or as is elsewhere stated, cos (ɸ) where ɸ = bank angle. Lateral component isn't factored in, except in simplifying the lift equation with the equivalency of vertical lift component and weight in level flight. just a dude who probably doesn't know what he's talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wind has no aerodynamic effect on an aircraft while it's off the ground. There was a massive bug that was finally corrected, by which airspeed, AoA and engine thrust were affected by wind. I hope it hasn't been re-introduced again!

But gusts or shear do have an effect. You probably know that but I just wanted to be sure. "Subsonic is below Mach 1, supersonic is up to Mach 5. Above Mach 5 is hypersonic.
