You literally haven’t read into the subject at all and come from the pretense that you’re well read on the subject. Had you actually read into the subject you wouldn’t be making your claims in the first place.
The doors are spring loaded, when there is airflow under the nacelle of sufficient pressure or loading from the engine the doors will open. This is seen both in high alpha flight as well as simple level flight or banking maneuvers. Sometimes even during simple rolls.
In-game they operate solely with AoA and this is technically incorrect but I see no reason for them to add many lines of code to manage the doors individually or during all of these transients.
The smug act just doesn’t look good on you when there isn’t anything to be smug about. You still won’t acknowledge all of the other erroneous claims, you wish to move on like they never happened…
F-18 can do some 40+ degrees with free throttle movement and the F-35 can do so at 55° with no concerns for departure. Neither are considered “supermaneuverable” lmao
Because it does not matter what I show you will continue to derail.
When you bank. Alpha
When you aileron roll. Alpha.
Any maneuver that requires use of the elevators produces angle of attack.
The intake louvers operate entire on angle of attack & allow the Saturn engines to breathe efficiently when performing dynamic decelerations other supermaneuverable techniques in which no American fighter ever put in service of the 4th generation is capable.
In effect, the elevators are the angle of attack control. When back pressure is applied on the control, the tail lowers and the nose rises, thus increasing the wing’s angle of attack and lift. Elevators (dauntless-soft.com)
When you fly behind a transport aircraft… You must fly slow at angle of attack. They louvers that are fluttering are not receiving adequate airflow as the others.
Based on what I read in the manual and the dynamics of it, it is opened based on vacuum and will intermittently do so during normal flight as it starts acting like a bleed air outlet. I would not be surprised that they are forced open due to G load, a relatively cheaper way to ensure enough air is ingested during hard turns. In a way, it is similar to older mechanical slat systems in how it functions. As for how it’s modeled in-game, it’s “close enough” by using alpha values but it isn’t completely accurate during some flight envelopes.
In FLIGHT for both Su-27 & Mig29. They open at angle of attack.
On the ground with main intake closed for the Mig-29. it works as a vacuum. The Mig-29 is the only one that completely closes off airflow in the main intakes. Newer Mig-29s do not.
You are conflating on the ground at takeoff with in the air at angles of attack.They are dual mode intakes.
I just said on the ground at take off. this applies to landing as well.
I am not talking about this operation (take off & landing mode) of the Mig-29.
I am talking about in combat at angles of attack.
As you saw in the video @unluckyg shared they open in flight.
Yes or No?
Enough you are wasting my time & you are conflating two aircraft. both louvers activate in angles of attack in combat. You want to talk to me sooooo badly. You need to reply to me in each topic.
Yes, I feel like I addressed this by saying they are forced open at G loads, irrespective of engine power. I do not think it is directly related to alpha.
They are fluttering and also closed at one point from aircraft 2 when he applied a bit of power then dropped it. This is in line with what the manual says “They may open intermittently at Mach numbers <0.3 at idle and <0.6 at mil.”
