indicator of reaching stress limits on A/C
« on: June 28, 2000, 09:59:00 PM »
I'm not sure how this works in real life, but is there a way (sound or vibration) to indicate that you are reaching the stress limits of your plane?  There are many times it seems that I'm diving in a plane that I'm not familiar with (most of them ), and a wing suddenly flies off, with no warning.

Kind of like: You're screaming in on a con's high six, then out of no where....an egg hits you in the face and the studio audience cracks up hysterically.

Salute,
IC

Are your "stress" sounds turned all the way up?

Aircraft stress sound.
If you're flying along and you hear what sounds like a moaning wookie, you're reaching the aircraft's limit.

Mino got it...My "stress" sound was hiding under the "wind" sound that I turned up because I thought it was neat

Thanks,
IC
