mytai01 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 According to Eagle Engaged, when the pitch reaches 13 degrees or more during aero braking the HUD symbology starts flashing to warn of imminent tail strike.

Dr.Goose Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 That is correct according to the primary flight manual. The "w" should start blinking, but this is a Flaming Cliffs aircraft so this little detail isn't modeled. You'll just have to be a superior pilot and pay attention to it by yourself :smilewink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pr1malr8ge Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 There are many things missing in the F15c in Flaming cliffs.. Unless someone one makes an all new F15c Module we wont see it because ED has the excuse it's old code..... For the WIN [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]If your desired effect on the target is making the pilot defecate his pants laughing then you can definitely achieve it with a launch like that.

mytai01 Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Hopefully, a real F-15 module will be made some day.

pauldy Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 guess I'm pitching too high at touchdown then.. 13 degrees is my average on the aerobraking roll... There's not much reference on how to land the F-15 it seems... or perhaps I'm just too lazy to search.. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGTharos Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 The -1 describes the procedure. Approach at 21AoA, flare when you detect ground-rush, and retard the throttle as needed. Maintain 23 units AoA for effective aerobraking. That's the standard landing - there are instructions for minimum ground runs etc. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauldy Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 What's the Pitch limit for the F-15C anyway? based on the aircraft's length I mean disregarding AoA/Tailstrike warnings whatsoever... 15 degrees? 17 degrees? Anyways, I'm practicing that ground rush thing most of the time.. Though it's kinda hard to do at night when I can't really determine how low I am based peripheral picture or so..

Dr.Goose Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Tail-/enginestrike occurs at 15.5° AOA (25.5units) So, do not exceed 15° AOA, the -1 recommends 13° for aerobraking. It recommends aerobraking while above 90knots, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
