Title: GLOC modeling
Post by: DC on January 08, 2000, 06:20:00 PM
I have recently conducted tests and using replay I found that starting at 400 mph the nik2 could execute a max g 180 loop without structural damage. a check of the g meter on replay showed that I exceeded 8g's for part of the trip without gloc. I can see where this could easily be misused by players to make sharp turns that should knock out the pilot and overstress the airframe. As I understand just 6 g's would cause some twisting of the skin of the wings, So I would assume that 9 would cause serious damage to the plane yet it did not.
