sublimeswell Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Hello, When I take air-to-ground weapons out on the JF-17 and make hard turns, the weapons/pylons fail. Is this normal? Is this a part of the realism, or is it a bug? If the former, then I have to say, that's a serious design flaw. Are there any fixes to this? I'm pretty sure that it doesn't happen on other planes . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draconus Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Yes, there are store limitations implemented in JF-17, it's not a design flaw, it's RL limitations for every aircraft and store, and it's a pity the other planes don't have it. 2 Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX3060 Rift S T16000M TWCS TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, in the real life flight manual for these aircraft you'll come across a stores limitation diagram, which will tell you things like the limit on how much weight and how many Gs a store and its hardpoint can be expected to tolerate. From what I can find, the JF-17 has a rated payload weight of 3.7 tonnes. Now let's say I'm carrying something like a C-802, which has a mass of 715 kg. If I then go and pull 5 Gs, that pylon now has to support an apparent weight just shy of 3.6 tonnes all by itself - and thats only at 5 Gs. Just for compare that's not far off half of the empty weight of a JF-17. It's unreasonable to expect that the hardpoints and weapons will tolerate the same manoeuvres and g loading that the aircraft otherwise can. 19 hours ago, sublimeswell said: Are there any fixes to this?

It doesn't happen with other modules because they haven't implemented over-g damage on stores, the JF-17 has a higher fidelity implementation.
