jetsimace Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Does anyone know? Is this a module specific behaviour or do all DCS models have the same? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiob Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) Generally it does. In all Aircraft as far as I‘m aware of. Of course every now and then it may be bugged. How noticeable it is depends on the mass deployed in relation to the mass of your aircraft. Drop a 2000 pound bomb from the wing station of a Viper and you know what I‘m talking about…. p.s. in the Hind it may be less noticeable because it‘s a heavy chunk of helicopter in the first place. At least when deploying weapons or depleting fuel. But you will definitely notice your weight (or lack of) in a hover.

FrostLaufeyson Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 According to my experience, all DCS aircraft will be affected. Mi-24P will have different feel under different altitude, temperature and load conditions. This feeling is especially obvious for hovering. At high altitudes, high temperatures, and high loads, you may not be able to hover normally and have to take off through the runway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution AeriaGloria Posted October 1, 2023 Solution Share Posted October 1, 2023 9 hours ago, jetsimace said: Does anyone know?

DCS does simulation of weights, moments of inertia and torque moments very well In Mi-24 case, having 4x rocket pods may have a 2-3% impact on speed/efficiency. It would be larger, but often having weight on the wings improves speed/efficiency at cruise speeds. This is becuase the wings are behind the center of gravity/main rotor mast significantly, so any weight added to them moves CG back and causes a more nose up position. More nose up means more wing AOA/lift, and with your wing helping you out more you need less collective You will notice the release of weight during firing, pitching to it nose down, on rockets it makes recoil even worse as you are getting rid of weight behind the CG Other than that, you have to be very careful of your weight and your limits becuase of that 1 Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
