Wake turbulences are there... !?

[Blackhawk_FR]

Just discovered it while making some tests on DMs, so flying close in the 6 of an AI. 

To make sure I tried with a light fighter being a He111. Flying behind left wing induced pitch up and roll to the left, and pitch up roll right when behind right wing. Make me think it should be the contrary for the roll. 

 

Is it in game since an older update or...?

Since day one of IL-2. It's a feature of the Digital Nature engine.

Pretty sure I remember right in the early days being very satisfying to do a nice turn and hit your own wake ?

 

Not sure it features in MP though

Never realised it was there... Now I feel stupid. 

 

But still the roll should be in the other direction (to the right behind left wingtip and to the left behind right wingtip).

If there is no wake turbulences online that's may be way I never noticed it.

No idea BUT

can confirm that shaking violently  from flak (high caliber up high) is in and my a/c has yawed violently when an he111 exploded very close to my p40 passing by.

There’s no wake turbulence.... it’s prop wash... only in sp mode

 

Like said in other topics..wake turbulence is simulated in dcs and if il2 had it, it would be fantastic

I think it's just visual in multiplayer , and when there is camera shake unselected it's not visible. In real life planes especially very light, were throwing around midair. Even artillery shell passing above or below would push plane downwards or balloon up the plane . This was very dangerous when plane were doing Gs because it would add additional on top of that. Staying on dead 6 behind another plane   was not so easy as is now in the  multiplayer do to propwash .

All observations of shaking from flak and a violent 'skid' from a he111 blowing up to my close right rear
