andremsmv Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 After some testing, I've noticed that there is no prop wash effect for propeller planes, only wingtip-generated wake turbulence. My testing involved me flying a few feet behind another airplane flying straight and level, and slowly drifting from one wingtip to the other. Upon reaching each wingtip, I would experience severe wake turbulence which would toss me around quite a bit but if I remained directly behind the nose of the other airplane, I felt nothing. This is bizarre to me since prop wash should be much more prevalent than wake turbulence in these scenarios. Unless prop wash is a whole new feature on its own that has not been implemented yet, I'm slightly puzzled why you can feel the wingtip vortices but not the prop wash in DCS.
