IL2 models mach tuck, does Aces High?

[jbroey3]

Vulcan it was the B1 rocket that I was able to seemingly get to the sound barrier.


Once I did get the the critical speed the aircraft started to rapidly become uncontrollable. The Nose started a violent negitive downward acceleration, and by only full trim, and gradual complete (to the stops) pull of the stick, I was able to recover at about 740kmph.  

I could not do this all the time as the plane would seem "locked in" and the control surfaces were useless.


It is rather different, that all I had been pointing out. As a comparison, I have seen no effect like this in Aces High, but however a state of compression that in effect overall renders the controls sluggish (but not unrecoverable or with negitive nose acceleration.)

This was the purpose of the post, to just find out if hitech has infact included this interesting aspect of aerodynamics.

Im not saying I do not believe HTC,.. I think that the ways inwich Aces High and IL2 recreate the effect are different?

Is there any limit to the dumb and inaccurate things that you will say?

First flight of the prototype F86 was October 1st, 1947.  Thirteen days before Yeagers supersonic flight on October 14th, 1947 (three years before the start of the Korean conflict).  I seriously doubt the machine was pushed through the sound barrier within thirteen days of its inaugural flight.  If in fact this did occur at that time then I am confident the knowledge of such an event would be widespread.  Please list references to this data.

Thnx,

I was out of town, haven't been on a computer since I posted that. But you answered what I would have answered.

According to an article in Air&Space, a F86 did indeed break the sound barrier the day before Chuck did.
But, if I recall, the politicians of the day wanted to squash that news as they wanted to keep the funding flowing to the X project so they ignored the F86's accomplishment, destroyed the data for that flight and ordered that group to not ever attempt to go super sonic again.
I need to find the article as my memory may have missed some of the finer details, but I definately recall that Chuck's group was having breakfast the morning it happened and they all heard the sonic boom.

either hitech is saying yes

or (and you all missed this)

he gave you a one word answer

lol

i wonder how many aircraft in AH can come close to mach.

i wouldnt think it'd be needed since at that point you're about the cfit anyway

"1" LMFAO! Not to be confused with 0.

>>Note, Il2 has a forum where the developer answers players directly, and they actually promote that. That’s good. I wonder if HTC will follow?<<

I can't help but wonder what possible advantage there can be to HTC in doing this?
Hmmm, this may be elementary but, when I last checked, a business enterprise is not a democracy. Taking a survey of the BBs in here and there are ample reasons why it isn't.
If IL2 has a developers forum then good for it, I wonder if it helps them get more competitive with AH?
For my money, with a customer base as fickle as AH is, I don't wanna see this game go to rule by committee.
