silverdevil Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) so. i love this module by the way. i really only do SP. i was just messing around after the 2.7 update. i was flying the F14B at near mach 1 in syria. i did the exterior view F3. as it passed the camera i yanked hard on the stick and the AC disintegrated. this was with wings swept back to maximum. when i changed back cockpit view both jester and i were still alive and i was able to eject. we floated down to the earth together socially distant. i do not have a track or video. is this a bug or did i just expect too much?

Yeah, the Tomcat isn't FBW, so there isn't anything to prevent you from yanking so hard you rip her apart except your own discipline.
r4y30n Posted April 17, 2021 Posted April 17, 2021 No, there aren’t computers babysitting you, but there is an eddy damper on the pitch axis of the stick that should prevent abrupt pulls as well as the bob weight that resists pull in proportion to G. Do they prevent you from bending the jet? No, but you really gotta want it.
silverdevil Posted April 17, 2021 Author Posted April 17, 2021 thanks for the replies. i am going to try again and get a video of it. the incident was quite spectacular. i will just have to pay attention. to be honest if i was not just messing around and in the cockpit view, i would not have made such a drastic yank of the stick.

captain_dalan Posted April 17, 2021 Posted April 17, 2021 IRL you'd be stopped by the force necessary to pull the stick that far back in such a short time at those speeds. In other words, you'd be limited by your muscle strength. In the sim there are no such limitations.
