[BUG] Drag coefficient too low under 30 knots

[AlphaJuliet]

Hello Lads,

 

When doing a standard USMC CASE I approach  on the Tarawa, if the wind is low (5knts or less) and the LHA at around 13knts, the Harrier is very hard to slow down without considerable forward nozzle, when IRL pilots states that only getting the witch hat on the horizon or a few degrees above is enough.

 

It has been confirmed by SME's that the plane is indeed a bit slippery in these parameters.

I also think that Boggy from the discord has already reported it without return from you guys.

I will submit a track and/or video as soon as I can (probably next monday) to show you what i mean.

I haven't been able to find any HUD videos of case I's to have any numbers on this issue to help you, unfortunately.

 

I hope we can work on this detail of this awesome flight model we received recently.

 

Godspeed,

Alpha

It also decelerates very slowly in VTOL when landing with 82 degrees - nozzles, even with full forward nozzles it's hard to slow down.

Can't be right to take out 82 deg. nozzles before the 90 in CASE 1, otherwise you overfly the hoover-spot, when manual states doing it in the groove?
