Modelling of propwash on A2A aircraft...

Post by jcommA2A »

Presently I do not own any of your aircraft for FSX, but I would like to know if you've been able to overcome the limitations of FSX regarding propwash modelling, namely what can be attained at full break power/parking break when you throttle up, say, the accu-sim p-51 up to the point when it lifts it's tail from the ground... Then, by moving the rudder side to side, does the fuselage wiggle accordingly?

If we take the FSX Acceleration reno air races p-51, it does show propwash effects on the horizontal stab/elevator, and lifts the tail from the ground above a certain power, but you can happily move the rudder side to side and it will stay still, without even an hint of yaw due to propwash on the rudder...

Just my curiosity :-)

Never tried this with the P-51 (not sure if it can even do that in real life), but this can definitely be done with the Spitfire and Piper Cub. It's not really a good idea to try brake stands with high performance prop aircraft. O.o

Just as a data point; A 51 can jump its chocks (if the wheels are chocked) at 40 inches. :-))))))))
