The most effective rudder ever

tuckies is not installing beta patches, he is still on 1.05. he will only test the su-26 and give it too his pilot friends when the patch goes steam.

once the patch goes to steam theres nothing that will be done to address any potential issues with it's FM and we will have to wait untill the sequel is released.

Bongo, what do you make of it? You agree with me on this one?

I do, the rudder feels believeable, as for gyro/torque I only managed a quick test but I got a sense they are there.

If you are bellow stall speed, you fall. That's pretty simple. Only your thrust vector can compensate for it. With the nose on the horizon, the plane should be in a vertical descent no matter what rotational speed he have.

On some occasion on the CoD vid posted here, the plane seems to float in that situation. It shld not happens (check the real vid - see the attitude of the Su26 when the pilot use the "hoovering" effect).

Regarding the P51 hanging bellow his prop, beware of visual distortion. When you are far bellow an object climbing vertically, it's easy to think it does not move.

The T/W ratio of a Lightened P51 is around 0.3. No way it can hoover under it's own prop. The fall down bckwrd is only slowed down, what give you in certain view point the feel that it "float".

anyway here is another one

I thought the topic was something differant,
I was going to say don't add the Titanic to the list..

Yes you are right of course.

Peopel who like this Su26 have you tried 'crimson skies'? It is also good with silly planes, silly physics and much fun.

No. A plane hovering hanging from its propeller is not stalling, and the airspeed is gonna be 0.
What do you mean with the nose on the horizon and vertical descent?

the "floating" could be achievable in a controlled spin with a Su-26 and similar aerobatic planes.

no idea what you're on about here mate.

And here we go... the Su-26 FM is porked...

This "community" sometimes is boring... any Su-26 REAL PILOT here? All people here are real pilots or PhD in physics...

I never flew a Su-26, don't know how the physics are modeled in CloD, but after looking at the videos of REAL Su-26, i liked the CloD Su-26 FM.

But all the "experts" can please elaborate more...
