vadupleix Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Hello All, First of all, this is not a post intended to question the FM correctness but rather to share some of my findings after last patch and see if there may be abnormalities in the aircraft performance or it’s just me not getting used to the handling changes (given I haven’t flown her a ton recently due to real life) I have done a couple dogfights with AI after last patch and it seems like the Tomcat right now doesn’t want to get slow as before: using the same techniques as before I’m noticing my airspeed 50kt-ish higher than I anticipated given the amount of stick pull. Even at sub-200kt speed with landing flaps deployed, I can quickly get out of that situation and regain speed to above 300kt quickly (and screw up my flaps in the mean time) without even aware of that. When reading the tacview recordings it seems like I’m getting ~25dps instantaneous turns quite often which I seldom get before. So my question is: has there been any changes to aircraft performance below M0.8 since last patch or is this just a result of change of stick force/shaking effect (I’m using a FFB stick)? Has any of you noticed aircraft performance change in subsonic regimes after patch? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FWind Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I think maybe before the last second for the patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat creason Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) Not much has changed in the subsonic regime. Drag and thrust have been unchanged there for a while. I reduced the pitch damping a bit which might allow you to pull higher instantaneous rates and therefore higher instantaneous AOA/G. Instantaneous rate measurements are not a good metric to judge the FM by either, btw.
