Server with reduced and Realistic setting

hm... they could be empty, I don't really know. Normally if it was a real (or training) sortie would they always carry fuel tanks or only if flying time is longer so that internal fuel (and maybe centreline fuel tank) is not enough?

Hi again. I have a two questions:

 

1. I know that russian fighters like MiG-29 or Su-27 dont have any G-limiter at all, only a stick feedback which saying "enough, stick back". Also i know that F-16 have tuneable G-limiter, which can be overriden by holding a swith that disable automatic control in longitudinal channel (im translating using russian terminology, hope you understand me correctly, any corrections are welcomed).

So the question is: how the G's limited in F-15 and how to override this limit if it possible?

 

2. What means "IMO"? Is it IMHO without "humble"? :)

No, the F-15 doesn't have a G limiter.

 

And yes, that's what IMO stands for :)

Depends on the training they are doing. For A2A they like to have a centerline to increase flight time and maximize training. On A2g they like wing tanks for the same reason and help the simulate the drag and weight of a combat loaded aircraft. Wing Tank are also used because pilots like to have plenty of gas in case they need to divert and again this changes depending on available airfields and different countries regulations.

 

It may be possible to pull 9 when your wing tanks are empty ... they'd weigh as much as an AAM probably, or less.

 

You can pull 9 g all the time but you can rip the wings of the jet. If the pilot don't tell the aircraft that it has wing tanks, or that it is heavy (depends on configuration) the aircraft is going to act as if it was clean. I have pilots come back that over g the jet. Some time as simple as .01 or .02 over the g limits for .050 of a second. Not much but enough to maybe bend the airframe. The aircraft will try to avoid this but it also has to allow the pilot to fly so it happens from time to time. I hope that makes since and it is not another one of my long winded explanations with no real info.

i was shure the "H" stood for 'honest'. Interesting :)
