ruddy122 Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 Just Curious that’s all I noticed I need 81% of power for the wheels to start moving Is that correct asking because before I needed 75% power to start moving Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] LUCKY:pilotfly::joystick: Computer Specs CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 6-Core 3.4 GHz| GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 6Gb | RAM: 32 GB DDR4 @ 3000 MHz | OS: Win 10 64 bit | HD: 500 Gb SSD
NoJoe Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 It probably depends on several factors, such as aircraft weight, how long it has been sitting (flat spots on the tires), and tire pressure, etc. As I understand it, tire pressure during carrier ops is generally set lower than airfield operations, which would require more thrust to start moving. I don't know whether the current behavior is right or wrong, but those are a few of the things to consider.

I think it's higher during carrier ops, which is why the tyres tend to pop when they have to divert. 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2
mongo52 Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 (edited) Shore nose tires 150psi mains 250 psi. Afloat nose tires 375psi mains 350psi. And tire pressures are set for afloat pressures even if launching from boat and recovering ashore (i.e. coming home from cruise) is known. Edited September 1, 2020 by mongo52
BuzzU Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 I think it's higher during carrier ops, which is why the tyres tend to pop when they have to divert. It seems you can land softer on a base and shouldn't pop. No option on the boat. You have to slam them down. No? Buzz
rob10 Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 It seems you can land softer on a base and shouldn't pop. No option on the boat. You have to slam them down. No? Totally theoretical answer, but maybe more chance for the wheels to heat up (and thus increase pressure and cause a blowout) on a ground rollout vs the short, sudden stop on the carrier? I would agree with your logic on the initial touchdown.
