CypherS Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) According to the GAO document, the legacy Hornet should be able to accelerate from 0.8 Mach to 1.08 in 21 seconds when at 5000 feet ASL. 60% fuel, 2 AIM-9Ms, and 2 AIM-120s In DCS it reaches 1.02 Mach by that time. To make sure I'm doing this right, I had the autopilot on and used active pause to ensure that I'm starting from maximum thrust. I've attached tracks of the issue; I also tried it without any stores and still couldn't get to 1.08 I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post the document because of rule 1.16, please PM me if you need the link.Clean_2.trk2xaim92x120c_2.trk Edited March 22, 2020 by CypherS

maxTRX Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 The temperature was off, rerecorded the tracks at 15C, 1013.25 hPa and edited the OP. The issue is still there. Tried it out of curiosity. Standard day. 60% of fuel at accelaration start, M.8, 2x aim9x, 2x aim120. @5k I couldn't go past M1.03 @6k stopped accel. at M1.06 or 1.07 after a long time. @7k I got to M1.08 in 59 sec. I'm not familiar with real data. It's about time I did get familiar;)
Tholozor Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 Out of curiosity, did the GAO document mention if the wing and centerline pylons were removed?

CypherS Posted March 22, 2020 Author Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) Out of curiosity, did the GAO document mention if the wing and centerline pylons were removed? No mention, it just says: "Weapons load is 2 AIM-9 and 2 AIM-120 carried externally, no external fuel tanks and 60 percent fuel remaining". However, it is very rare to see the hornet carrying missiles without at least one of the wing pylons on. Anyway, ran them again. If the pylons are all removed with no missiles it does indeed get to 1.08 Mach in 21 seconds. If you add the missiles it gets to 1.03 Mach in that time. Edited March 22, 2020 by CypherS
