Tango Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Hi, I've seen the info on the site regarding the overall aircraft simulation and its systems, but just how detailed does the flight model get? Can I get into trouble with it, just like the real thing, requiring realistic escape maneuvers to get out? Due to the lack of a tail rotor, it obviously doesn't suffer from LTE (Loss of Tail Rotor Effectiveness) but does it still dislike flying backwards, or having a low tail? I see from the videos it has a rudder to aid turning - is the effect of direction of flight on the tail modeled? Best regards, Tango.
GGTharos Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Can I get into trouble with it, just like the real thing, requiring realistic escape maneuvers to get out? Three words: Settling with power ;) But you can also overspeed, you can cause the rotor discs to cross (not terribly escapable) and other fun stuff. Due to the lack of a tail rotor, it obviously doesn't suffer from LTE (Loss of Tail Rotor Effectiveness) but does it still dislike flying backwards, or having a low tail? You can fly backwards just fine, but obviously you can't see behind you but for the pair of mirrors. Smacking the tail on the ground might cause you some problems. I see from the videos it has a rudder to aid turning - is the effect of direction of flight on the tail modeled? Yup!

Tango Posted July 18, 2008 Author Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) I saw that, but wanted to be sure. ;) EXCELLENT!!! :beer: I guess if I asked the devs "how much to buy the beta" then I guess the answer would be some figure I couldn't afford......? :D but obviously you can't see behind you but for the pair of mirrors. I saw they actually worked, showing a rear view in high detail (unlike some racing sims) and was amazed that the detail just never ends! Do they show other aircraft behind you, too (e.g. if in multiplayer someone pulled up behind, in view)? A wannabe Ka-50 pilot, Tango. Edited July 18, 2008 by Tango
