Warbird takeoffs and landings

[Reflected]

Enjoy!

 

 

 

PS: If anyone could give me any advice how to do a wheel landing in a P-47 I'd appreciate that. It bounces unless I go for a 3 pointer. In others I can do it...

Maybe this video could be usefull?

feel free to request more informations

Nice! I see you came in at 140 mph with about 21" for the wheel landnig. Somehow I still can't do it even using the same parameters...

It was very early tests:)the module before all patches.

I wonder if i'm able to reproduce

Will try it and back to you

see you next:)

New and recent video with the last DCS patch

As you can see it's not perfect:) i'm not an expert.

It could be better with a bit of practice.

Parameters are same as the first video:

speed around 140 mph

PA around 21

Good game

The Jug seems unreasonably bouncy for some reason. Even with a 3-point at very low desent rate (~50fps) it will bounce about 10' back into the air. It wasn't like this a few updates ago so I assume there's still some tweaking going on in the FM.

[-0303-]

It got the Corsair gear by mistake?

I find the Anton the same. 20 year-old pilots in the day would never have survived it. ED should just clone the Mustang gear modeling for all warbirds of the same weight range - excluding maybe the Spit and 109. With due care, you can land the Mustang almost anywhere.

50fps you call it very low ? it's 3000fpm damm i'm shocked that plane survived it

My Jug don't bounce even when i slam it in to the ground.

About 200fpm

 

I have all warbirds in DCS i can tell that all are different even A-8 and D-9 feels different.

I say one thing just learn to land it. Read manual note at what speed you do touch down in those birds you will not see bounce after that.

Nice. So how much rudder (and perhaps aileron) deflection do you need per a bird, i.e. do you deem the amount of torque, as modelled, realistic?

I've never flown a real P-47

Typo. 50fpm. I apologize if my misstype so offended thee.

Just super funny typo, no offence.

The biggest issue that I I have is that the landing gear seems to be made of glass.

I practice all the time and it's rare when I succeed without bending or breaking the gear.

As for the Mustang, I can drop it on a dime and give you nine cents change.     Very rare to bend or break the gear.
