My VFAT 2009 track

[RvETito]

Although my demo was not so spectacular like Frazer's and Berkuts I thought I might share it. What I noticed after watching it from the On-demand recap is that from spectator's POV every time I'm "cutting" the roll e.g. 45-degree or 90-degree roll my plane actualy rolls back a little bit in the opposite direction while from my POV or external view of my plane while watching the track it's all good- the roll rate "freezes" where it should. I guess it could be caused by some mini lags or something...

On the stream the 4-point rolls..and the bank-stop-banks looked very "dirty" yes.

Indeed, that's what virtual airshow pilots also deal with, the wingrocking (lag). The way to prevent this is to fly your 4points and stopped rolls very slowely or let the plane roll out itself without actually stopping it. It looks lame in-cockpit but on the stream it comes out far better.

Thanks Frazer, didn't think of it that way. Something to consider for the next year ;)

Exactly! For live shows our Solo (Whack) flies the 8-Point Roll about twice as slow as it should be just to avoid wing rocks. The 8-Point Roll is best described (in that case) as a Slow Roll with 8 hesitation stops along the way. Very mellow!

 

There are also less wing rocks, (or "lag rocks") if you avoid any aggressive counter inputs on the controls for every hesitation roll.

 

These are the kind of things only virtual aerobatic pilots have to consider! :smilewink:
