I have only toyed around with the mission planner available is single player. Maybe the answer is to have it available in MP when a client first joins a server, or selects a new slot.

Another thing I thought of, with B-52's. They hold a lot of fuel in their wings, in a bank, all that fuel is moving to one side. I'm talking something in the amount of 50k lbs. I have a friend that flies them, I'll ask him about bank angles next time I talk to him.

 

Aren't the tanks chambered for the same reason?

That much fuel wouldn't have to move very far to be rather dramatic in effect, as in I would guess it causes a tremendous control lag. Bit like the difference between tapping your finger on a knee and tapping a sledgehammer on it.

Just imagination, I wouldn't know but it is what I thought of. They use fuel cells, soaked foam don't they? The fuel wouldn't exactly slide around very much anyway unless you sustained G's. But it would feel like a herd of blue whales is pressing against the side of the fuselage and slowly rolling it over too much, during banks. I assume the FltCS would increasingly compensate but still...control input lag recovering.

 

just guessing, dunno. This stuff is just interesting.

Yes they are divided into 3 different tanks along each wing with baffles in between them, but you still get fuel moving around.

@Sov13t where did you find that info on the disbalance limit? Would like to know the limits for some other FC2 planes just out of curiosity.

There are some good manuals available out there if you search hard enough. I have paid for a F-15 one and have seen a good NATO MiG-29 one. There are lots on the F-16 as well. There is a really good one for the Su-27 that Soviet has read through, but it's in in Cyrillic.
