Aluminum Donkey Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Greetings, I've noticed that the Bf-109K-4 is extremely 'wobbly' (very little damping) when flying the 8 vs. 8 mission in Caucasus, and it's hyper-sensitive in the pitch axis. In the Normandy map, however, it handles much more like the way I *think* it should. Are the maps optimized for different aircraft types? i.e. does the Normandy map have different air characteristics best suited to simulate smaller, slower prop planes, and the Caucasus, NTTR and Persian Gulf better for modern aircraft/jets? Reason I ask is that it's really obvious to me now. I'm used to flying the prop jobs over Normandy and they really behave differently in Caucasus. I have yet to try them in Nevada & the Persian Gulf. So, different atmosphere model (air density/damping) for different maps? Could this have something to do with simulated Reynolds numbers (something I used to understand long, long ago, but no longer?!)

Mr_sukebe Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I noticed this on PG, rather assumed it was related to weather and altitude variances. Would be worth sanity checking those.

Sandman1330 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Density altitude. Check the mission temperatures and sea level pressures. I’ve noticed a big difference between Caucuses and Normandy compared to Nevada and PG, less difference between caucuses and Normandy but it could still be temperature and pressure settings.

Nooch Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Most of the Nevada map is quite high above sea level so even if you're not high above the ground, you can still be at a relatively high altitude already. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aluminum Donkey Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 All interesting stuff everyone :) Imma have to try the 109K-4 in Caucasus at maybe 1-2 km altitude above MSL, because that's the alt that I usually end up at in the 8 vs. 8 dogfight mission. The 109 is *really* wobbly and hyper-sensitive in pitch in that mission--I reach maybe 15-20 degrees AoA with only a few mm of stick deflection. Only noticing it since I always fly the WW2 birds in the Normandy map, which seems very close to MSL over almost the entire map.

Lixma 06 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I'd check if your controls haven't been reset (curves etc) during an update. DCS has been really flaky with controls suddenly resetting to default over the last few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aluminum Donkey Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 I'd check if your controls haven't been reset (curves etc) during an update. DCS has been really flaky with controls suddenly resetting to default over the last few months. It isn't that at all. The handling really is different. Also, DCS World control setups are the same regardless of what map you're flying in--they go with each aircraft module, not the map.
