Blackhawk_FR Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) Hello, I think I've noticed a small change in the way the pilot applies roll input. It's very noticable with the new La5FN: When you apply full roll rate, instantly, with your joystick, we clearly see in the plane that the stick movement slow down while approaching the "full roll rate position". That's due to the strenght needed by the pilot to counter the relative wind force on the ailerons. Which is great and (to me) realistic! I've also noticed this doesn't happen at low speed, which is also normal due to less relative wind force. Can you confirm my feeling? Are we going to see that effect on other aircrafts? The thing is, I bet the strenght needed to apply full roll rate must be different from a plane to another (LaGG3, Fw190, etc), depending on speed and conception of the ailerons command. Hope you'll understand my english, I have a serious lack of technical vocabulary. Edited March 26, 2018 by F/JG300_Faucon 1
FTC_DerSheriff Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) I understood. But I felt so far no difference. If yes, that's nice. Edited March 27, 2018 by DerSheriff spelling
JtD Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 I'm not sure this is new, I've seen this before and don't know if the effect is larger now.
Bilbo_Baggins Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) Absolutely, Faucon. Noticed it straight away. Most pronounced on LA5FN where roll accelerates up to the ridiculous full roll velocity. Not sure if it's new, but very noticeable for sure on the LA5FN. You can also look at the horizon rotating and see it accelerating around to max rate. Edited March 26, 2018 by Mcdaddy 1
