G limit


ResonantCard1

Recommended Posts

Hello, it has come to my ears that the F-15 once pulled 40Gs and not only just survived, it could fly perfectly fine. This clearly means that the DCS F-15's G limit has to be bumped up to 40Gs. After all, we don't care about airframe life and all our planes are factory new. This limit isn't just reallistic, it's also reasonable and based on actual pilot experience. Please ED, make it happen!

yes please ED, actually since it pulled 40gs, we should go a little above since an airframe doesn't just crash at the limit but it can exceed by a few Gs

 

Actually, you're right. In fact planes are usually built with a large safety margin, say 1.5 or even 2. Which means we should be able to pull around 50Gs before starting to see problems in the aircraft

Unbelievable thread for what purpose?  So you can meta the game in MP, the F15 is already bad for that and over G's as it is - and the answer should be a definate no.  I have been an advocate for quite a long time to not have this asset in MP (apart from the 3 button start) servers for this very reason, it over performs on G pulling as it stands and needs actually reducing.

Planes are more limited by what a pilot can tolerate, not just an airframe, most people start passing out at sustained 5g.  Pilots at 9G is for a limited time with full G suit and extensive training on how to stress and hold blood in the upper body / brain.  That said there are many components that would be damaged at the level you propose, not including the airframe itself.

Please close this ridiculous thread.

No longer true since latest beta.
