I’m honestly tired of seeing armchair pilots of FSX, Xplane and P3D, who have ZERO flight hours in a real aircraft, comment that the flight model is not realistic. I’ve read reports from a lot of commercial and GA pilots stating that the flight model, with a little bit of tweaking, is very close to…

Commerical pilot here. I would report any issues and inaccuracies I find via zendesk. These include flight model behavior / aerodynamics, mechanical behavior (front wheel steering on ground), systems behaviors. Too many issues to list here. I find the community mods / tweaks to improve some aircra…

This is the best thread in this entire forum and should be kept alive, open, maintained and monitored for as long as possible.

[image] PaulFalke: Flaps are not an drag parameter select switch. The flap drag parameters are “modulated” by the flaps angle, that is the drag is larger at 40° flaps angle then to 15% flaps angle. I had hoped that you were able to alter propeller drag. Concerning flap drag; Flap drag doesnt…

Agreed, from 0 to 15 degrees of flaps for example the increase in lift is substantial with a minimal increase in profile drag while from 15 degrees to 30 degrees flaps for example the increase in lift is minimal but the increase in profile drag is substantial.

Thank you Nijntje91. This 15° flaps increase lift, no (or only little) increase drag, 40° flaps reduce lift, increase drag are hard-coded or table driven. I have to check. Everything hard coded and not documented is real fun for everybody who wants to make a good flight model.

Everyone, its off topic but maybe you find this interesting: [image] ICAO - EU - UK ATC Phraseology Mod V3.0 Tools & Utilities ICAO - EU - UK ATC PHRASEOLOGY MOD BACKGROUND As a real world airline captain, former flight instructor & radiotelephony instructor …

[image] PaulFalke: …40° flaps reduce lift… 40° (or even 50°) increases lift.

Absolutely agree with you, unfortunately it seems, that for a general public it is not that important hence at the moment it is not Asobo priority to further tweak flight model (sadly)

[image] PZL104: 40° (or even 50°) increases lift. Okay, this MIGHT be the theory. I made measurements on FS2020 stock C152. The results are: at 60 kts airspeed 0° 700 fpm 10° 825 fpm 20° 1045 fpm 30° 1300 fpm The sink rate is for gliding, that is engine off. In FS2020 the lift DECREASES…

[image] DaintierOcean3: I would report any issues and inaccuracies I find via zendesk I wrote some/many Zendesk bug reports. It is like shovelling coal in a black hole: some days/weeks later you get state “solved”, BUT NOTHING HAPPENS THAT I CAN RECOGNIZE.

Real World Pilots, please state your feedback about the flight model
