pauldy Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 ..It feels harder compared to other flyable supersonic fighters.. Now my inquiry is that, What type of Flight control system the F-15 has? a Mechanical type or fly-by-wire? the Su-27 feels "softer" in rolls and such~ Sorry for this noob question~ :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
RvEYoda Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 F-15 does not have FBW. Su27 has FBW S = SPARSE(m,n) abbreviates SPARSE([],[],[],m,n,0). This generates the ultimate sparse matrix, an m-by-n all zero matrix. - Matlab help on 'sparse'
GGTharos Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 The F-15 has a computer-assisted mechanical system (specifically it is hydraulic). [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
golfsierra2 Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 F-15 does not have FBW. Su27 has FBW An because of that, no limiter either. kind regards, Raven.... [sigpic]http://www.crc-mindreader.de/CRT/images/Birds2011.gif[/sigpic]
GGTharos Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 There's no limiter on the Su-27 either - or rather, you override it by pulling on the stick harder ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
mvsgas Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) It is a Hydro mechanical system consisting of control stick, rudder pedals, PRCA, ARI, Ailerons, Horizontal stabilizers and Rudders with a secondary controls consisting of the speed brake and flaps. Stick inputs are sent mechanically to the PRCA (Pitch-Roll channel assembly), which in tern, together with the ARI (aileron- rudder interconnect) and the CAS (control augmentation system) control the flight surfaces automatically adjusting to airspeed, landing gear position, rate of change of axis and stick inputs... I think that is it.:joystick: Edited April 12, 2009 by mvsgas To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
GGTharos Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 There's a great doc from NASA's research on it somewhere ... :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda

pauldy Posted April 12, 2009 Author Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) So it's like a computer adjusted hydraulic control. I think i've read that Control Augmentation System on the Jane's F-18 manual too. on side note, i tried some maximum roll tests on 3 flyables in-game, the F-15, Su-27 & the MiG-29S from 28,000 feet then rolling towards the ground. The Su-27 has the fastest rolls at maximum joystick input (so fast that i'm starting to feel dizzy when looking at the monitor~) followed by the F-15 then the MiG-29S, slowest rolls at maximum stick~ btw.. i tried the maximum stick rolls on Jane's F/A-18 and that Seven-G Hornet game, both hornets rolled at similar rate to the MiG-29.. just out of curiosity~ :) Edited April 12, 2009 by pauldy [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
