Volator Posted July 29, 2024 Posted July 29, 2024 (edited) It appears to me the weathervaning effect of the MiG-19P is too strong in DCS. The manual says I tested a 7 m/s crosswind and a 14 m/s crosswind with a relative bearing of 80°. In both cases it was very difficult to maintain runway heading and required considerable amount of differential braking, even with full rudder left and aileron into the wind, at 14 m/s I had to maintain full brake left until lift-off. What struck me most was the ineffectiveness of the rudder well beyond 200 km/h. Considering that the usual nose wheel lift-off speed is around 250 km/h, that appears to be odd. All of this contradicts what the manual describes. Similar results happen when taxiing the MiG-19P in DCS. It takes A LOT of braking away from the wind, and after one longer test flight with a longer taxi distance to the parking position I managed to use up all my air pressure. I only came across this issue after all these years because I tend to play on multiplayer servers that do not include any kind of weather unfortunately.
