Only about 8 pg. Has some good comparrision of some of the planes we will be flying........in two weeks.

Thanks Wabbit, nice find.
-
The comment I found most intriuging was:
The theoretical speeds for the fastest and tightest turns for these aircraft fall BELOW the stall speeds. Therefore, the maximum turn rate and tightest turn is calculated at the stall speed in a turn.
Thats wierd.
And from the data I think its pretty much going to be a DVII arena. :t
:confused:,

I've read that all the DVII's were supposed to be destroyed after the war because they were so dangerous. I never understood that but it sounds like a typical political response.
-
WOW, that is interesting reading.
-
If there are any wiz kids out there, I'd love to see a table comparision of the different stall speeds in a turn i.e.
EQ(12)
I've looked at it but here are a bunch of squiggly symbols there. I think I need a decoder ring.
"b..u.y..m..o.r..e..o.v..a.l.. t..i..n...e..."
:huh,

Never mind Ima goof. You'd need the raw values to plug in.

Nice Read AKW......... :salute

at the end of the war germany was demanded to turn over thier planes to the Allies. But most commanders crashed landed them to destroy them instead of giving them to the english or french

Great reference! I love that movie!
I have no real input to the thread. I didn't care at all about the ww1 stuff, but I'm beginning to be won over and get excited about trying it.

Thanks Digr I probably remembered it wrong.

S.E5 or Camel vs. DVII is going to be the 'late war' fights for WWI - the DVII is by far the coolest plane in WWI, but the Neiuport series, when they come, will also be fun. Its going to take time to build a proper planeset for WWI - which is why I will stick to RoF for my WWI fix for the time being or untill the WWI planeset gets large enough to actually challange D.VII's clear supremacy.
-
The DVII was specifically called out in the Treaty of Versailles to be specifically destroyed (first time for any aircraft).
-
quoted from the terms:
IV. - Surrender in good condition by the German Armies of the following equipment:-
5,000 guns (2,500 heavy, 2,500 field).
25,000 machine guns.
3,000 trench mortars.
1,700 aeroplanes (fighters, bombers - firstly all D.7's and night-bombing machines).

Thank you for the info. :aok I've already started reading it you know what I'm looking forward the most is flying these in the koth I think that will be a blast. :x
-
I'll be interested to see how torque is modelled in planes like the camel with regards to control inputs.
-
it will be interesting to see how many people will rip the wings off these rag covered crates "cant wait"

As am I.
Admittedly, my interest in the WWI arena is only mild; but I am hoping that the planes are extraordinarily difficult to fly at 100% effectiveness. A super-steep learning curve would be a fine element, IMO.

This simply cannot be correct.

That was my reaction. Still can't wrap my head around what that means. I'd love to see some other data/sources.

Right...highest rate of turn occurs at the minimum speed that the airplane can pull max allowable Gs, so I haven't the foggiest what this is referring to.

I believe you can think of it as an explanation of why you can turn faster and tighter in a relaxed realism arena where you don't stall.
-
"The DVII was specifically called out in the Treaty of Versailles to be specifically destroyed (first time for any aircraft)."
They obviously figured out a way to go around this clause... ;)
From Wiki:
The United States evaluated 142 captured examples.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fokker_D.VII
Thats a mighty evaluation program. :D

Is it strange that I was more interested in the formulas in that pdf than I was any actual information about these planes? :uhoh
