Suchacz Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 I dind't notice any ground effect when landing on the flat roof. Is it correct, is it WIP or is it impossible due to engine limitation? :huh: Per aspera ad astra!

159th_Falcon Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 I dind't notice any ground effect when landing on the flat roof. Is it correct, is it WIP or is it impossible due to engine limitation? :huh: I believe the shark experiences ground effect from rooftops. So it aint an engine limiation, prolly still one of those Beta things. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] The keeper of all mathematical knowledge and the oracle of flight modeling.:)
EvilBivol-1 Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Should be working. Tested recently and I definitely drifted down once I cleared away from the roof. - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy. Everything takes much longer. The Parable of Jane's A-10 Forum Rules

Luzifer Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Should it be working for carriers, too? Two days ago there were lots of Hueys on the Virtual Aerobatics server going for a picnic on the American carrier and it felt like there was no ground effect. Hilarity ensued. :D It is really hard to hover on the deck and you need to pitch up more to hold position or slow down, and many tail strikes were had. Are these things indicative of missing ground effect?
Razor5-1 Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) I just tested on some roofs and ground effect is indeed missing,(at least on this particular roof) I set up the approach slight decent rate got to the roof expecting to hit the cushion but never happened, kept the same decent rate until I landed. Edit: The ground effect is there, me not noticing it first time was caused by the height of the building putting me off as my references were different. My decent rates increased unknowns to me.
