Ebodee Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 The weight of the landing gear and relationship to the CG during a hover causes the Hokum to shift laterally. Not very noticeable but it is. However ED does it in the software, nice to see in the game. Smacks of attention to detail :thumbup:
Lava Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 I was pretty impressed by the way the landing gear flexes and moves when on the ground.
wickedpenguin Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 The other day I was zipping along approaching a FARP, trimmed for level flight. I extended the gear and, as it extended, noticed the helo's nose dip from the increased drag under the belly. Very impressive. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

EvilBivol-1 Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 If you have not noticed this yet, get a nice zoomed-in external view of your helicopter from about 4 o'clock as you fire the cannon. Watch it shift from the recoil and then watch the autopilot bring it back into hovering position. :yes: - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy. Everything takes much longer.

wickedpenguin Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 (edited) If the drag of the nose wheel bothers you, do what I did. (See attached image) :D LOL. Just look at my sig. We're birds of a (rather unsightly) feather. :) If you have not noticed this yet, get a nice zoomed-in external view of your helicopter from about 4 o'clock as you fire the cannon. Watch it shift from the recoil and then watch the autopilot bring it back into hovering position I always take that into account when using the cannon at near its maximum range. I'll normally do three or four round bursts with time in between to allow the heli and cannon to realign themselves. I've noticed a Vikhr launch gives a little recoil as well, though I can't recall if the rockets do that too. Edited September 28, 2009 by wickedpenguin [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

I extended the gear and, as it extended, noticed the helo's nose dip from the increased drag under the belly. Very impressive. Also the differing momentum due to more of the front landing gear being farther from the CG, and less of the rear landing gear being farher from the CG, surely helps to dip the nose... or so Yo-Yo made us believe.

Immermann Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 I've noticed a Vikhr launch gives a little recoil as well, though I can't recall if the rockets do that too. Probably not recoil, but shifting center of gravity, right?
Pilotasso Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 Ed's flight modeling is perhaps the only based on real phisics ever for PC. It has always been scripted in some form or another for all other SIM's. now lets see what comes next for DCS to be wowed again. :) .

How on earth could you fail to notice as your heli spins like a top? ;) My cannon attack technique involves stabbing the left pedal instinctively when I fire the cannon!
