greenmamba Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Is there a ground speed indication anywhere while taxiing or do you have to call it up on the HUD? You can call it up on the DED by going into LIST, then selecting number 6 (INS) DED page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvsgas Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) Depends what Operational Flight Program (OFP) ED models for example Ground Speed (G/S) could be found on the DED, by pressing; list, 0 and 6=GPS list and 6= INS 5 (Time over sterpoint or TOS) will show require G/S Lastly you can select it in the HUD , look at the HUD control panel, bottom row first switch Edit Keep in mind that when the landing gear handle is down, CAS will be displayed on the HUD regardless of airspeed or the position of the velocity switch. In DGFT, CAS is auto selected.

JamesRothwell Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 Taxi and take off video also has come. I guess release is pretty close Yeah, was happy to see that this morning! I think they've got a lot of work still to do in the background but the visuals look great. I'm guessing still a lot of work to do with the sound hence why the videos only have Wags voiceover. Enjoying the hype and great following the progress. Looking forward to putting the Viper to use (in between smashing it into the tarmac and/or mountains as I learn how to fly it).

viper2097 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 During the taxi/takeoff video Wags mentioned that you only need to put out the throttle of the detend to start taxi... As far as I know, IRL the F-16 starts to taxi already on idle and needs to break permanent to become not too fast. So it seems that this is not correct / still a limitation of DCS? Too bad...

As far as I know, IRL the F-16 starts to taxi already on idle and needs to break permanent to become not too fast. So it seems that this is not correct / still a limitation of DCS? Too bad... That largely depends on aircraft weight/loadout, position (IE: slope or gradient in the apron/taxiway), and engine model. Lot of factors come into play for it to simply roll by itself at idle, but most do not under normal loads from my experience.

viper2097 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Oh, nice to know, I thought that this applied to all... Maybe it was just so burned in my brain, because you see "as light as it get" aircrafts taxi'ing on airshows.

As far as I know, IRL the F-16 starts to taxi already on idle and needs to break permanent to become not too fast. So it seems that this is not correct / still a limitation of DCS? Too bad... So, as the old book says, the idle was able to speed up the A/C to about 90km/h (light weight loadout), at the begin of production, which was too fast. Later, the idle-revs were reduced as the slower taxiing was a goal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not true, at least for the version we are modeling, based on several sources.

mvsgas Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 The movement of the A/C during taxi and during braking must be more float .... up-down movement, it needs a lot of work to make this... If your talking about how the aircraft sometime bounces, is more due to the angle of the Nose Landing Gear (NLG) strut. The strut is angle a bit forward ( meaning the tire is slightly ahead of the strut top) so it tends to jam on it self. So as the aircraft taxied, when weight changes, etc. the strut tends to jam and release randomly creating that bounce. When you refuel the aircraft or when down jacking after maintenance it is normal to kick the nose tire to get the NLG strut to unbind. Same way how the Main Landing Gear (MLG) tire get jam when you down jack the aircraft and need skid plates. On landing, since the MLG tires are rotating it allows the MLG to compress, but down jack the MLG tire can and will get jam unless skid plates (or several layers of trash bags) are used. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience.

mvsgas Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 This is a block 50 after an airshow, no weapons and low on fuel after a full demo flight ( note how much the NLG strut is extended) and you can see and hear the pilot advancing the throttle at 1:06, 1:37 and 1:52 7_sqxVfpYGE?start=65 If the aircraft accelerated on idle, why would the pilot advance the throttle?
