one of the most beautiful scenes we may see when plane is flying in the sky is the airflow flowing through the wings. how can we miss it .don't you think so?:)

I would rather have the air flowing around the wings.

http://www.dictionary.com - Great help for those of us writing in English without it being our own language.

 

Through = hole in the wing. Probably not exactly what the OP was about. :)

 

(The exceptions would be multiplane aircraft - triplanes etc - and aircraft equipped with slotted flaps/slats. There the air can flow through the wings.)

Thank you ,i realized i'd made a mistake. i just mean the air flow around the wings while the pilot is pulling a high g . i wonder why the fantastic scene didn't appear in A10C like it did in open falcon 4.7 which is much an older game than A10C . i think if ED can make it ,we will enjoy the game even more.

You're talking about wing tip vortices, and they were added quite some time ago. Smoke (really condensed water vapour) streaming off the wing tips when pulling hard. When initially added, they appeared way too soon/often in DCS:A10C. Don't know if it has been adjusted since.

 

Regarding mist forming over the wing, that's much rarer on straight wings than on delta wings, such as on the F-16. On the A-10, seeing it would very much be the exception, so I can't say I miss it.

I donno about air never flowing through wings. I usually fly too high for it to happen to me, but I see a lot of air flowing through other people's wings in multiplayer. Especially after they go on ill-advised gun-runs. :D So if I get hit it's usually by a missile, and I don't get much time to admire the air flowing through my wings :(

The way I understood it, the reason you get the air condensing over the body / wings in aircraft is because their movement is creating a lot of negative pressure behind the areas where it's formed, essentially 'sucking' the pressure so low that the clouds appear.

 

In order for this to happen you need a wide body, high speed, and high AOA. The A-10 doesn't really have any of these. In very humid conditions you can get them off the wings, but the A-10 simply can't hold onto enough speed at high-AOA maneuvers to make it happen the way an F-16 can.

 

If you really like it, wait for the DCS: F-15E, because it's such a colossally fat fuselage almost every maneuver in moist conditions will cause it :D

0:48 you can see it in the wings. With heavy loads I suppose the effect would be much stronger.

It baffles me why there are no vapor effects in the DCS-series, the wing tip vorticies are better than nothing, but they look a bit weird compared to the real thing. Some vapor effects would really add to the immersion, and lets face it, it looks damn cool ;)

 

If the next DCS aircraft is a Hornet then not adding vapor effects would be blasphemy :P

As you can see the Hog generates quite a bit of vapor if the conditions are right.

Weather conditions must be fitting for it to happen. As it was mentioned earlier, if there's a bit of moisture in the air, the marking will be prominent.

 

If the air is very dry, it simply won't happen.

"When the conditions are right" is the crucial phrase here. Anything will generate condensation if the conditions are right enough. I've seen Herkybirds take off with massive tunnels of condensation from all propellers, and with condensation forming over the entire wing on rotation. Impressive, but rare. You get to a point where a phenomenon is too rare to model, and condensation (apart from vortices) on the A-10 would belong in this category IMO. Not that I wouldn't like to see it, but there are about a gazillion things I'd give higher priority over a phenomenon I'd only see once in a blue moon while looking over my shoulder while manoeuvring hard.

 

I agree that it should be there on the F-18, or any aircraft capable of generating vortex lift!

 

Cheers,

Fred
