Distiler Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Hi! I'm not much into LockOn and modern reactors so forgive me if I say something of basic knowledge. Why don't I need to apply rudder when doing a turn (to coordinate it)? I don't see the ball moving and I don't feel almost any "yaw woobling". Is it automatic coordinated in those aircraft (in RL), do I need to setup something in options or it is not in the fm? I think I have all options setup for realistic flight and it happens with all aircrafts. I'm using old, plain and simple 1.02.

Distiler Posted December 31, 2009 Author Posted December 31, 2009 Ok, I've finally bought FC and I see it's part of the advanced flight model of su-25 and su-25t. Would be nice if that "yaw woobling" was in all other aircrafts. Very nice flight with those two su-25 in FC!

GGTharos Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Keep in mind that the Su-25 is the only aircraft in LOFC that uses the AFM, all other aircraft use the SFM (Simple Flight Model) ... and this will not change. But, some planes -do- auto-coordinate to some degree in RL, I believe the F-15 does in fact, but as they say, nothing is perfect :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
monotwix Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 On some planes like Cessna or SU-25 the aerodynamics differentiate from a fighter jets aerodynamics by the lift and centre of gravity design. Basically when you are doing a bank turn in SU-25, it drops it’s tail and makes the fuselage out of line with the turn direction, it creates attacking air flow on the tail at an angle, imagine if the tail wasn’t there to do it’s job aligning the fuselage to it’s direction of travel, and there we have the rudder as a control surface. In LockOn for SU-25 especially, the effects of gravity are very noticeable where you can turn the plane to 120 degrees bank angle and see it’s turn performance and then aa look what the gravity doing to it in relation to the airflow (heavy plane to fly). The fighter jets are not effected by that sort of cranberry as much because of the centre of gravity close to the rear and the twin tail automatically doesn’t disable it’s usefulness, only minor slip effects. The autopilot on most commercial jets does not control the rudder through it’s manoeuvres. I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.
