FLANKERATOR Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 I have done an extensive reshearch but coudnt find something about the LO fighters turning performance charts (turn rate mainly), Somethink like V-Diagrams or some charts representing the effect of altitude and weight on corner speed and therefore on turn rate. If i missed them somewhere here please to redirect me otherwise does anybody have some external sources? Just a reminder: Im seeking Lock on FC charts not real ones as it might be quite different.

104th_Crunch Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) Most of these are from the Eagle Dynamics website and the last one was from a SimHQ article. Also, these may be for different versions, i.e. Lockon 1.02 http://lockon.co.uk/index.php?scr=list&end_pos=10&lang=en&page=4 http://lockon.co.uk/index.php?end_pos=574&scr=default&lang=en Edited October 13, 2009 by Crunch
FLANKERATOR Posted October 13, 2009 Author Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) Many thanks mate ;) Well on the 1st chart , i guess its the instantaneous and sustained ROT for the fulcrum and the flanker , well as far as i can see they have the same corner speed for both instantaneous and sustained but the flanker gets the best ROT in both cases. But i noticed also that corner speeds are slightly lower at higher altitude (from chart2) is that logical? Another question from chart 1, what is the best "effective" instantaneous corner speed for the flanker? i am talking about effective because of the 9G limit. If we refer to that chart, the best instantaneous ROT would be about 740km/h but when taking the 9G limit into consideration it would rather be 600 km/h ...Any thoughts about that? And oh yes another one this chart is based on 13.000 kg of weight for the mig...but what about the flanker 's weight knowing that its about 16.000 kg when empty and 20.000kg at 40% fuel? we all know that weight plays significant role in determining maximum instantenous and sustained ROT. .
