What does peers or competitors have to do with it? So, you are conceding to the fact that GJ limits and buffs based on balance against peers? Not completely flight manuals or performance documentation/studies alone?

Interesting…

So you do agree with this statement? Yes?

Can I get you to confirm please that neither the F-16C or D is overperforming and is NOT a “UFO?” Therefore we shall not associate it as such as it would be incorrect.

Oh, those darn pesky unrecorded tests…

They will be the death of me. Cool thanks.

Limit 9g for mass 14200kg,The smaller the mass, the greater this limit. i.e. you will never break the wing even at 15G

Thank you! All sources are pointing to underperformance of the Mig29 the way I see it.

Yeah if it was 9gs like he claimed then pilots would stay away from it at all costs unless lives depended on it. When they go 9Gs like nothing for tourist who pay.

  1. The problem is insufficient engine thrust
  2. Excessive pitch damping
    3.Insufficient structural strength

Perfect order I agree. I think its lift coefficient should be on the list too. the jet is really poor in WT and can barely generate enough lift to pull out of the most basic maneuvers at 13 min of fuel.

They have static moments of inertia, what kind of adequate tuning can we talk about

3285

I am not sure BBCRF, can you give me an example of the current values and how are they identified in game? did not even know that was value they can adjust.

What would be the ideal value you would like tuned?

3286

Moments of inertia depend on the mass of the aircraft, the more the aircraft weighs, the more inert it is. And here they are static and it is not known for what weight they are made

I also had not clue that anything relating to momentum was modelled as we cannot use the Aircraft momentum alone in high angles of attack to toss the aircraft with the engine idle. It almost just dies right there floating in a stall. Very interesting. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.

As for the moment of inertia I have no idea what the current values of 35000.0 signify. You would know. I have no idea how that would look if it went up or down in value.

You would have to walk me through it.

The moment of inertia, otherwise known as the mass moment of inertia, angular mass, second moment of mass, or most accurately, rotational inertia,

Also are we sure the aircraft such as the Mig29 weight accurately drops with the less fuel that remains as it burns off?

I suspect it’s not accurate either. Too much weight still.

I understand thank you. It’s the current values or numbers set I do not.

I don’t quite understand, but the plane seems to be clamped within 30 and -20 AoA

I am sorry you said they are static?

Moments of inertia are involved in moments of pitch, roll, yaw

Again, I had no idea the had moment of inertia modelled so I am playing catch up my apologies. Whether those values are static no matter whether an aircraft weighs less or more depending on fuel state and weapon loads is something I would be interested to know.

how come it was never brought to our attention the range was set and locked 30 and -20 AoA?

Oh yeah, we should all agree this is not accurate and the full range of alpha the aircraft is capable. It is clearly off.

Thank you for sharing this too.

İ dont trust a single word coming from developers tbh.

Especially when they say its not priority, cause that usually means they are actually developing whatever they are denying.
