As the sideslip angle decreases, the force decreases, untill a certain point. at around 20° it starts increasing again untill around 14°
So as you accelerate in a crosswind takeoff the plane will suddenly weather vane when you reach that relative angle.
As i decrease the angle of the oncoming wind you can see the force decrease and then increase sharply again, then reach 0 with 0 AoA
Thanks for this excellent mod! Just on my first flight here, and I’m quickly getting a fuel imbalance. I.e. fuel drains much quicker from the right. What am I doing wrong?
Fuel shouldn’t drain from the right tank unless you’re transferring fuel, or place the fuel selector in the “Emergency” position. Check that the fuel selector is selected to “Normal”
Just do the fuel transfer with the pump (Fuel transfer switch) regularly. Check it in about every 45-60 minutes. Engine is fed from the left tank only, by design.
I just took this out for the first time in ages and I have to say how impressed I am. I enabled the free castoring nosewheel and it’s a very unique experience to handle on the ground. It handles right on the numbers as far as I can see. And I tried the characteristic stall and it behaved exactly as expected, mushing down to a steady 1000 fpm at 55 kias, with aileron control. What a fantastic plane! Thank you for working so hard on it
Hi MrTommymxr, now that the DA40 TDi has been decrypted can you (or are you able) to create a flight model mod for it? They are very similar so I’d guess the same flight model as the NGX wouldn’t be too far from reality.
Well, it’s not DA40 but close to it, do you see any chance of adjusting DV20 to a more realistic flaps behaviour - like having a lot more drag as the current sim version lacks it a lot?
Thanks for this absolutely awesome mod!, I just can’t fly again without it!
Quick question: would it be possible to add wing flex+vibrations to this model?. I know they tend to be high frequency vibrations, but they are there and can be very noticeable so it would be great to have them.
Just have one question: when modified config flight_model.cfg to have free nose-wheel instead of steering one - have strange effect: when taxing plane has tendency to turn right, even stronger than can be compensated by rudder pedals, so have to use differential braking…At runway when hi throttle - everything acting as usual, but with minimum one - right turn… In real life I would think the nose-weel was jammed on the vertical axis with some right angle…
Can anyone recommend pls where to look ?
That was my first idea… But then I tried DV-20 and it doesn’t show this effect. And also DA-40 always turns right, regardless of the direction I’m taxiing
