Kelevra9987 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Hey folks, today on the Open Conflict Server I tested the structural integrity of the F-5. I was RTB with Mach 1.7 @ Angels 34 and went full AB in a 30° dive. At around 7k ft and 1000 KIAS I pulled out of that dive and I pulled more every time untill I hit the end of the Stick. I was surprised that the Tiger was still fully intact and landed as usual. Later in the Tacview I found out that during the pull out of the Dive, I pulled 21.2G Max. Now is this still WIP or should the Wings allready break at that stage of Development?

Dino Might Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Been wondering this myself. I was trying to break the wings the other day and couldn't manage to do any damage to the airframe. I assume it's WIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarlerus Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Are stress fractures and material fatigue modeled in DCS? 'cus 21 g's would probably make the airframe a candidate of a thorough inspection... :P Jarl at YouTube DCS Service Span and Wishlist Spreadsheet Forum post for discussion of above spreadsheet Retro Electro Playlist on Spotify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogeyatyour6 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 How in hell did you reach 1.7? XD Probably at that alt possible, I only know I broke apart at 1.45-1.5M at 10k ft =MoAu= Mors Audente - The Bold Death Squadron 'Hey Jeff, the plane feels a little off today...'

ED Team cofcorpse Posted November 7, 2016 ED Team Share Posted November 7, 2016 We implemented structural limit in the latest Open Beta update. Wings will be broken if you exceed G-limit enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need-To-Know Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) I hope the plan is not to break wings off if 7.33gs are exceeded. Getting up to about 10gs happens and the frame gets checked but more than likely is still flyable after. 12-13gs and the wings get bent and the frame will be unusable after but it would probably still make it back to base.

ED Team cofcorpse Posted November 8, 2016 ED Team Share Posted November 8, 2016 You can exceed G-limit (7.33) by 1.5 times, after this something terrible will happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
