Ground effect

[Mateo]

Hi,

As reported by ED, flight model of FF F15C will be initially based on F15C Flaming Cliffs version, could we have an F15C update of flight model in area of ground effect. As reported HERE data is available.

Currently ground effect almost doesn't exist. During flare the ground closure have no impact on lift, drag and pith moment. Other Flaming Cliffs aircraft have it done some way (MiG29, Su27, Su25, Su-25T). IRL every aircraft has got some CL,CD,CM changes below the wingspan height.

It would be nice before we receive FF that such an issue would receive sort of update.

 

Cheers

I recently flew Baltic Dragon's Georgian War campaign again, and the lack of ground effect is one of the things that stood out to me as well, as you currently can't land "b y the book". But I'm sure we'll see adjustments when the FF version is closer to release, similar to what happened with MiG-29.
