Heya all, In response 1. to Toad I believe, I have approx 30 hrs of non-logged time within Various 152 aircraft, about 5 hrs of Acro time in Navy T-43 (I may be incorrect on the Idnetifier though )it was a Tri cycle setup, no tail dragger.
And a measly 6.5 Hrs logged in a Katana
.
For a super short summarization, I have done power on/off stalls, Dutch rolls, barrel rolls, slow flight, pattern work, general flight, x-country prep,I-mans, as well as other aerobatic manovers and general flight. Have pulled as much as 6Gs+ (hehe fun
)
I have also flown ( simulated B-2 Stealth Bomber Trainer for the USAF.)(multimillion full motion hydro actuated setup, VR screens real nice solid wrapped screen no splits as well as realtime sgi like graphics. IT is really nice
Now based on my Flight experience, I may not know every FAR, or the applicable subset of AIM knowlege, but I do have an understanding of the underlying princepals of physical flight. Of which this entire argument/suggestion/debate is about.
X-plane simply allows for a more fluid /dynamic representation of flight than aces. It does so by the way it calucates its flight simulation by means of blade element theory. But whatever , for those who dont care/belive me fine try it then tell me what you think.
For the person (i cant recall right now who asked about how i know that HTC used data tables, ... Hitech said it himself in the "Flight modeling thread" I posted quite awhile ago....
A very intersting thing about that thread is that HTC said " if HTC would use blade element they for Aces flight charcteristics, it would merely be a trade off between what they use now (data) for the realtime calucualation of components" (airfoils, that make up the x-plane flight model Aircraft.
He states that "you would be merely substituting data for another set of data"
What this tells you is that they are using tables and information to list specific flight characterisitcs and how the aircraft will react based on a cross reference to those tables.
Now in the End of that post, ... after all the debate that hitech states "Why should aces use something like blade theory",He then contradicts himself stating that "he has been using Blade element theory all the time."
Now my question is IF aces USES blade element theory than why is "ACES blade element theory" different from "X-plane Blade element theory"...
I would think that If you can equate what I have said above to a simple expression, such as Acesblade to X-planblade, you should come out with the same result, just as 2+2=4
My point is that if someone uses a way of doing something that is known and used among the two parties, then the result would be the same. In this case,... Flight simulation/representation/limitations of physical flight characteristics.
Anyway, I still have not seen a reply to all this from Pyro, so Idunno where he stands or thinks with all this.
For all the bashers and people that are very quick to make a decision that I have not a clue as to what I speak, or that I am in someway trying to be a jerk, I really think you need to stop, look at your self and really ask yourself why you have a need to be an attacker to any who asks a question. Is it fear of change? or a personal ignorance that you feel, because you may not know/comprehend what the topic or the context of the argument is.
Anyway ... As ive stated before X-plane is like apples and oranges compared to Aces in the sense that they have to differing roles... one is an IFR/VFR type sim/trainer,engineering tool. The other is a WWII air combat Game.
Point of all this... I would like to see realtime calulation based on the shapes of the aircraft used here with the given data of weight and engine specs to be the determined flight characteristics.
oh yeah , I have not been using combat trim Hog, just ta let ya know. (using it is unrealistic as well as limiting to the perfommance to what you can get out of your aircraft. IMO
Id like to say lastly that I feel that Aces is an awesome Online sim, best ive ever seen ever known, and really enjoy the updates, and differnt planes
I would just like some response on the FM stuff.
Anyway... -Deez out..
"gettin ready for the flames to begin"
