Would be nice for A/C to shake on R/W at idle.

Would add a bit more realism to have plane shake, vibrate from engine.

It doesn't have to be Force Feedback even (although could make that an option too).
Just have plane shift side to side or whatever on screen.
Anything would be more realistic than just still, which as we all know= not realistic.
Probably not too hard to model in. Could even be added in time for the patch
that's coming in 2 weeks :aok

It does add immersion just as head movements in hard maneuvers. That was one thing that made Neg G a valid evasive as the guy in the following plane could not aim in such position. But here we run into limit how much realism is desirable.

I'm all for it, though.

Maybe it could be behind a slider in options.

Not sold on the realism.  During start some engines may run a bit rough causing some aircraft movement, but once running normally --- not so much.  About the only time you'll notice the airplane moving around is during the runup.

As it is right now, the cockpit vibrates while rolling down the run way. If you look out at the wings, their perfectly still. Cockpit shakes, wings still. Couldn't we have a little wing flexing while rolling to go along with the cockpit shakes? I think it would add to the immersion.

I don't recall any visible vibration in any of the prop planes I've been in over the years.

No vibrations in 1000-2000hp single engine props?

While there may not be any visible vibration, we really do not have out buttcheeks on the actual bench anyway, so only way to simulate vibration is to do it visually.

     Didn't HT get some 51 time in?  Maybe ask Fester if his T-6 shakes with the engine running.
