Kumabit Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 LMAO. That’s the entire point of the FCS. It’s doing exactly what it’s supposed to do. All aircraft should be able to let the pilot directly control the aircraft, preparing for the FCS failure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJQCN101 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) All aircraft should be able to let the pilot directly control the aircraft, preparing for the FCS failure The FCS will automatically enter direct link mode if 4 channels DFCS and 2 channels EFCS all failed. Before that the FCS will also automatically enter EFCS if 3 channels DFCS fails. If 3 channels DFCS and 2 channels EFCS fails, you're then on single channel DFCS. (All implemented.) EFCS is designed for landing purpose only and will limit maximum pitch rate to 12.8 deg/s. It doesn't have G or AOA feedback so you'll still able to over-G the aircraft at high speeds.

So JF-17 no longer allows pilots to "direct control"(I mean like the flankers) the aircraft like the last patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrorban Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) Time to hotwire our custom JF-17 . Lets rip those channels out. Post apocalyptic syle. :D All jokes aside, What are the chances we will get a full FCS failure in DCS? How did you implement it? What causes the channels to fail? Sorry for my ignorance but I am learning more about modern jets as more and more systems become simulated here.

You can try setting random failures on all channels of DFCS and EFCS. It's a lot more unforgiving (less static stability) than the flanker. EFM / FCS developer, Deka Ironwork Simulations.

You can get FCS failure by overheating the FCS computer, or battle damage to sensors on the nose / computers around the cockpit, hydraulics failures, electric or mechanic damage on the control surface links (of roll/yaw CAS).
