SDsc0rch Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 was just watching a YouTube clip of saudi fighters operating in support of action in yemen i noticed an f-15e employing the speedbrake during its landing - see here: https://youtu.be/ylgT-wwrFgU?t=229 (note - page i was looking at.. http://theaviationist.com/2015/04/06/operation-decisive-storm-rsaf/ ) i noticed the speed of the airbrake deployment - its fast! much faster than in DCS now, the youtube clip is featuring an f-15e - and we have an f-15c in DCS so i'm curious.. is the speed of the f-15e airbrake faster than on an f-15c? are SAUDI f-15 airbrakes faster? maybe its an upgrade - maybe airbrakes were slower for the aircraft that are modeled in the sim - but now more modern eagles and strike eagles have faster actuators - does anybody know? or, is the DCS airbrake... simply too slow? i7-4790K | Asus Sabertooth Z97 MkI | 16Gb DDR3 | EVGA GTX 980 | TM Warthog | MFG Crosswind | Panasonic TC-58AX800U [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not_G Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 the speed brake works identical for f-15a-s variants, should take right around 1 second to fully extend and 2~ seconds to retract. Unless it was a F-15SA you were watching, they use fly by wire and im not sure how much got changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team cofcorpse Posted April 6, 2015 ED Team Share Posted April 6, 2015 What about this video? It's about 2 and 4 sec, just like in our game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDsc0rch Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 okay, thank you guys for your responses @not_G, yes i believe the strike eagle in the vid is saudi, therefore it is FBW (did not know that) - so that's probably why the airbrake deployment speed is faster and thanks to cofcorpse too - you're right, the airbrake in the sim is just like that vid i7-4790K | Asus Sabertooth Z97 MkI | 16Gb DDR3 | EVGA GTX 980 | TM Warthog | MFG Crosswind | Panasonic TC-58AX800U [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
