golfsierra2 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 http://phoenixosfs.org/wiki/wiki.pl?WORKING_PAGE "According to Soviet pilot Alex Zuyev, the MiG?-29 aviator should avoid shooting one missile because he will have to contend with an asymmetric load. This is not something often considered in the West, but one that Lockheed had to deal with when the AIM-7 became part of the F-16 loadout. Therefore, MiG?-29 pilots are encouraged to fire two missiles to preserve the stability of the aircraft. This fits well with the age-old Russian tradition of shooting two missiles to maximize the Pk of the particular shot opportunity. Clearly, asymmetry can adversely effect the aircraft's dogfight maneuvering capability. It is also interesting that in Russian military literature we find almost no discussion on "necessary" and "un-necessary" back up shots, or using a "shoot-look-shoot" method instead of letting missiles go in pairs. " Is this effect simulated that way in FC oder LO ? I never experienced the MiG29S behaving strange with an asymetric wing load, e.g. sliding sidewards due to asymetric drag so that I had to correct with rudder or something like that. Anybody how did ? kind regards, Raven.... [sigpic]http://www.crc-mindreader.de/CRT/images/Birds2011.gif[/sigpic] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cali Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 No, this is not simulated in LO. Would be nice if we/they could have the jets in LO act like the real life ones. But we are not there yet, someday maybe, but not today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
504 Wolverine Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Isn't it modeled on the 25T? It's a pig when you fire only one of your 2 Kh-29T's. [/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trident Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Isn't it modeled on the 25T? Oh hell yes! But it's an AFM thing for now, so this behaviour is indeed lacking on the fast movers (the MiG-29 for instance). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazehound Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Yeah it goes with AFM. Anyone tried firing (eg) one Kh-58, then one Kh-25MPU? They both come off the same wing! :O is this a bug/oversight or feature? Can real pilots chose the side it will come off?

Force_Feedback Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Yes, so if you give the mig-29 AFM, then you can have assymetric loadouts. Period, no whining, nothing, SFM aircraft don't have such things, AFM a/c do. Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
169th_Dredd Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 On occasions I thought this does oocur. Or maybe its just my trim adjustments, not reseting properly. ---= 169th Panthers -Flt Lt.- =--- http://www.169thpanthers.com.au AMD64 S939 3700 | 2GB Corsair DDR500 | 21" CRT ATI Radeon X800Pro | 2x36GB WD Raptors | SB Audigy TIR3 | TM-868 | X52 | CH Pedals | Creative 5.1 Spkrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALDEGA Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Probably your imagination. Only noticed it with the AFM enabled Su-25(T) And it's quite noticable :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
