cmbaviator Posted November 18, 2022 Posted November 18, 2022 I noticed something weird: When i add thrust, the nose pitched down and when i reduce thrust, the nose pitched up, but thats wrong? that's only the case when the engines are above the CoG like a CRJ 1000 or Challenger 650 for example but its not the case of the F1, when adding thrust it should pitche Up and Vice versa Anyone noticed that as well ? FYI: i flew the F1 as a recon plane on tempest server so no ordonnace, no cannon ammo and about 80% of fuel
Iron Sights Posted November 18, 2022 Posted November 18, 2022 I tested it yesterday and it seems to me that speed affects the nose up. Faster I go, more down trim, but I have not noticed a change from thrust. I’ll test it again today.

Morskoul Posted November 22, 2022 Posted November 22, 2022 At which speed/Mach & altitude did you notice that?

Morskoul Posted November 23, 2022 Posted November 23, 2022 In transonic and supersonic, trimming versus speed can be inverted due to aerodynamic effects usually known under the name of "Mach Tuck". I cannot say if the behavior is representative of the real Mirage F1, but it can be explained by the center of lift moving backward on the wing and/or a decreased efficiency of the horizontal stabilizer. It is very noticeable on the Mirage F1, I agree. I think the worst is between M0.9 and M1.2. I guess that if this is too far from the aircraft the flight model will be adjusted. 1
