Torque Vibration - Airframe shake

Post by jaseman007 »

Apologies for the double post. I put the same thing in General Discussion so mods feel free to remove.

Just wondering if you could implement the ability to introduce torque vibration/shake into accufeel. Even as a slider to adjust strength/frequency etc???

The thing is, engine and prop vibrations are not directly tied to torque or power. For example, many prop planes are very smooth after lifting off with high RPM and high power, but vibrations occur either lower or in specific frequencies. So many times high power is associated with smooth performance.

Vibration analysis in airplanes is a huge subject, as many operators and owners can spend a lot of money trying to track down and eliminate (sometimes never successfully) mysterious vibrations.

The other limitation is to do the vibrations right, you really want access to the model source. One of the critical components to Accu-Feel is we do everything outside of FSX (don't mess with any files), and adding vibrations may be a bridge too far for Accu-Feel.

Great idea though, as we love physics and vibrations (in simulations that is :) )
