C3PO Posted July 23 Posted July 23 What is the drag impact of fuel tanks on the Viper in the tanks' different positions on the jet? How is it calculated? 1 Now: Water-cooled Ryzen 5800X + 64GB DDR 4 3600 (running at 3200) RAM + EVGA 3090 FTW3 Ultra 24 GB + Pimax Crystal Light + Add-on PCI-e 3.1 card + 2x1TB Corsair M.2 4900/4200 + TM HOTAS Warthog + TM TPR Pendular Rudder 'Engaged Defensive' YouTube Channel Modules: F/A-18C / AV-8B / F-16 / F-15E / F-4E / Persian Gulf / Syria / Nevada / Sinai / South Atlantic / Afghanistan / Iraq Backup: Water-cooled i7 6700K @ 4.5GHz + 32GB DDR4 3200MHz + GTX 1080 8GB + 1TB M.2 1k drive & 4K 40" monitor + TrackIR
Exorcet Posted July 25 Posted July 25 Some drag index data here: This is for the real jet. approximations labeled as aprx, NO DATA indicates a guess. The drag of the fuel tanks (CT for center tank, WT for wing tanks) depends on the other stores on the plane. There was an issue in the past with stores drag that I believe has been resolved and stores drag should be close to accurate now: 1 Awaiting: DCS F-15C Win 10 i5-9600KF 4.6 GHz 64 GB RAM RTX2080Ti 11GB -- Win 7 64 i5-6600K 3.6 GHz 32 GB RAM GTX970 4GB -- A-10C, F-5E, Su-27, F-15C, F-14B, F-16C missions in User Files
RyanR Posted July 25 Posted July 25 Fuel tanks are surprisingly low-drag compared to other things. -Ryan 1
