I just started Flight Training for my Private Pilots License and have a couple questions about the AH flight model...

I know Torque is modeled, but are P-Factor, Slip Stream Effect, and Gyroscopic Precession modeled?

Just wondering...

PS. One other question...Are friendly collisions ever going to be modeled in the MA?

Torque ? A legend in his own mind.

Thats odd. I thought he just like balancing rodents on his head.

lol easymo!

Let me just say on behalf of all other balding men:

God made all our heads, He just uncovers the prettier ones.

Of course, these responses are nice and all, but they DO NOT answer my questions.

hehe. Anyone got any answers other than Torques chest is WAY undermodeled?

Do you need to use rudder on takeoff?

only if you want to live thru it

I know P-Factor and Gyroscopic Precession are modelled but i am not sure Slip Stream Effect is.

IMO all but slipstream seem to be modelled.

Don't forget prop wash.

Egads, I hope not. Imagine waiting for someone to take off, then go into your plane, only to have someone else reup right on top of you.

Would be bloody irritating. If this takeoff problem could be solved, it would be fun with friendly collisions on

RE: Friendly Collisions ON

Maybe have the spawning point move down the taxiway in order.
That way u would not appear "inside" another aircraft.
It would then, just be up to those on the runway to call out as they "roll".
And the rest to tazi to the runway in sequence.

collisions are a joke IMO
In the real world when 2 birds collide BOTH take damage, usually enough to knock'em both outta the sky. In AH only the FE that sees the collision takes the hit and goes spiraling down. And I dinnae think we have any birds there were modeled specifically for ramming other birds yet
