Alfredson007 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 This bird seems to fly pretty realistic from what i see and read, but the elevator, especially when used for aerobraking... real life manual states that gradually give full aft elevator after touchdown, and the nose should come down at around 75-80 knots or so (two sources), give or take. I also see in youtube videos that very soon their stick seems to be full aft or very near. In DCS though, i can still scrape the tail even if the speed has bleed to less than 70... So, a bug?

ED Team Yo-Yo Posted August 28, 2017 ED Team Share Posted August 28, 2017 I do not think so. The criterium is rotation speed and required stick displacement for it. It is exactly as it is recorded in the test flight and our testers flying L-39 stated. It is absolute criterium, because the plane begins rotation from the determined pitch angle. The landing run is not so determined, because you can balance at high pitch having CoG just over the main wheels, and the required elevator deflection will not be very high. And you really can scrape the ground because afetr the certain AoA the plane becomes tail heavy while running on main wheels.

Dr_Arrow Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Yes, elevator authority is modeled correctly, the problem is that we have short sticks, which have much shorter travel range than the long stick in aircraft. Unfortunately the curve is not ideal solution, because it messes up the trim and introduces more non-linearity in control. I was able to fly a mil-spec L-39 in a real cockpit, had no problem to take-off, land, taxi in it, only with previous DCS experience, it was actually easier than DCS as I had more precise control during rotation/flare and maneuvers due to the long stick.

msalama Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Right, but what tangible is there to be done? Can't transfer the real thing 100% here anyway. So what's next? The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
