Tusky Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 Hi all! I would like to run some flight planning tests and I would like to know if anyone knows what the temperature lapse rate in DCS is. Is it an ISA lapse rate of about 2°C per 1000ft? Thank you!
Valium Posted April 5, 2023 Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) Well, most of airplanes in DCS are set with QFE and sometimes QNH at the beginning on the map. I don't know if there's any plane which shows temperature anyway remember that lapse rate can change with humidity and horizontally when you're at point A with weather X and point B with weather Y. SALR would be 0.6°C/1000ft, DALR would be 3°C/1000ft so all depends. What's more, the temperature decreases with height to some level, then decreases more slowly and is constant with -56.6°C. And fighter engines has different bypass ration in compare to CAT airplanes which also changes the game. For things I've noticed, if you set winter with low OAT, plane has better performance and chemtrails seems to appear at lower altitude.
