Stab change
« on: April 05, 2010, 12:14:00 PM »
Just noticed.  Now when you shoot up the feathers, the planes can still maneuver with one Stab.  Would that not double the loading on that surface, and make it easier for the plane to come uncoupled?  Not sure if this is new, just took notice of it lately.

btw..... PERK THE BREWSTER!

Wouldn't it just exert half the force?

From what I've seen when it's happened to me, which is admittedly only a couple times, if you lose half your horizontal stabilizer it has a large effect on your elevator authority.  Almost like it's cut in half.

Others report being more manuverable than before with 1/2 the stab missing. May be plane dependent.

Almost as if.................  You only had half the elevator response?  WHOA..............You may be right!  :cheers:

They have always claimed to simulate the aircraft and the performances, and the physics of flying.

They never claimed (and even denied) simulating the war itself.

Sim? Yes. WW2 combat? No.

depends on which wing also because of prop rotation

He's not talking about wings. He's talking about tail feathers.

Look at the post above me, did you really think that Aces High 2 doesn't fall under the simulation genre of gaming. :huh
