Re: Matching actual climb rates, turn rates in YSFlight

A survey of landing speeds for several fighter aircraft results in the following: they cannot all be correct. I have checked some of the figures for the actual aircraft and they do vary somewhat. It remains to be seen what the effect on turn rates is when the landing speed, which is about 1.2 times ...

Re: How do I create a moving head animation?

After some work I managed to get this working properly, so I am documenting the steps in case anyone wants to know. Movement from side to side on aileron activation only for the moment. The key is to create the 3D the pilot model and make sure the helmet is centred around the origin of the 3D editor...

Re: [Pack] Headquarters General Air Combat (HQPGAC) v20220531

I have been using YSFlight on and off since 2004 and noticed the unrealistic g- pulling abilities and stalling speeds only this year. Why not increase all the landing speeds about 110 knots? I doubt that any jet fighters can land at less than 110 kt, I believe this was a requirement for the Vought F...

Re: [Pack] Headquarters General Air Combat (HQPGAC) v20220531

Beautiful aircraft models all around. Just a question about realism: turn rates, climb rates how do they compare?

Re: [AIRCRAFT] Stock Mirage 2000 Repaint and Realism

I hope to improve the model with a transparent canopy, pilot figure and more accurate landing gear, since I have figured out (again, after 10 years or so) how to do this.

Re: Matching actual climb rates, turn rates in YSFlight

Changing landing speed corrects the problem to a huge extent.

Re: Current Projects

Update: Installed in YSFlight: Using the ZA values for the transparent canopy (first colored blue and identified by the C 0 0 255 values) at the relevant section in the .dnm file made the canopy transparent with a blue tint. For reference, the ZA values are: ZA 0 200 1 200 2 200 3 200 4 200 5 200 6...

Re: Current Projects

Mikoyan-Gurevich E2A The Ye-2 and Ye-2A were prototypes in the Mig-21 development project. The bureau decided to build two prototypes with two different configurations: a swept wing prototype and a delta winged prototype that eventually became the Mig-21. Initially there was little to choose betwee...

[AIRCRAFT] Stock F-16 repaint and realism

A recent investigation into turn rates of stock aircraft resulted in the realization that many of the aircraft have too high turn rates, pulling some 13g in turns at about 400 knots. I decided to modify the stock aircraft and after testing arrived at some settings that work. The main change was incr...

Re: Matching actual climb rates, turn rates in YSFlight

Final settings for the Mig-21: REFVLAND 200kt #LANDING SPEED This give a maximum sustained 6g at 390 and 3.5g at 260, in a level turn. I was not keeping the airplane level - diving increases the ability to turn without stalling. Critical angle was also raised to 27 degrees and the airplane does not ...

Re: Matching actual climb rates, turn rates in YSFlight

Mig -21 With the landing speed setting set to REFVLAND 200kt I obtain the results : Maximum turn rates : 6.9 g at 390 kt, 3g at 290 kt no speed loss. Thrust values seem correct since the Mig 21 averages 45,000 ft/min average to 10,000 ft The lack of speed loss in turns, and the acceleration in 6 g ...

Re: Matching actual climb rates, turn rates in YSFlight

Testing Turn Rate Realism I think I can find most of the flight envelope data online, so the task now is to do the testing. How do you test for realism? Instantaneous turn rates Instantaneous turn rates or maximum turn rate (without stalling) - the maximum turn rate regardless of loss of speed at a...

Re: Matching actual climb rates, turn rates in YSFlight

Mirage 2000 The Mirage 2000 flight envelope diagram shows that it can pull 2g at 160kt, something that seems to be confirmed by a recent view of a DCS combat video. That is 2g sustained. The YSFlight Mirage is a little higher than that, so some increase in landing speed might be in order, although ...

Re: Matching actual climb rates, turn rates in YSFlight

Hi Those are some nice diagrams that will take time to review, however are you saying that the stock (YSFlight stock ) F-16 is capable of over 40 degrees per second 200 kt to 400kt? No wonder I found it hard to win! The realism project seems like a good one, I would rather modify the aircraft myself...

Matching actual climb rates, turn rates in YSFlight

I have been using the YSFlight as an air combat game, but the turn rates and climb rates of aircraft seem to be different from the actual aircraft specifications. The Mirage 2000, for example, had a very low climb rate, I found that the thrust settings were are 3t and 7t afterburner instead of more ...

Re: YSG2000 aircraft creation website

Please try Wings 3D. It is the easiest to use, and much easier than Blender.

Please see my tutorial here

I will be willing to help you get your model published in YS. Hope to do a demo model soon.
