ANSYS

I assume then you use Ansys also for the mesh then… How will you do the inflation for the grind fins? Because sharp close edges can be annoying. Or do you just not do the inflation entirely and just use triangular on the edge?
I create the grid in the same place, the edges of the grid fins edges are made sharp so that the grid lies normally
oh ok that makes sense, what cell size did you use though? Cause without inflation it can get very heavy to calculate if the grids is too thin. Although for warthunder modelling purpose even if not super precise it would be fine
The total number of cells is 7.5M
Yeah since it is only a missile the total number number seems fine, what I meant is the general cell size and the sizing min values:
I was curious about the parameters in red
I don’t remember exactly, it seemed to be 1 mm

how much time is this taking you?
Quite a lot, after all, the computing power is small. I9-10940x 128Gb RAM
god damn, and all that for something that may not even be used by gaijin. respect from me man xD
This is all for the DCS Su-30 mod
And here I’m just sharing what happened

ahh, still, doing a good job. i do hope it could be used for bug reports but i somehow feel like gaijin will still try to fight it despite it probably being more accurate than any (legal) source available

Speaking about R-77
I suggest a realistic buff is possible: If we have its loft removed while keeping its range intact by either thrust increase or drag reduction, we’ll get a more capable missile in short to mid ranges while long range shots would remain mostly intact. At low and medium alitudes/distances the missile will reach its targets faster and will have a larger NEZ
There is no proof that R-77 has loft (but no disproof either). But some guestimations can be done:
So, we know that R-77 flies up to 80km
We know that R-77-1 is claimed to fly up to 110km. It has its tweaks for sure, but its shape is generally the same as of the first R-77. I suggest that loft addition is the main contributor of such range increase
The R-77-1 has a sustainer doesn’t it?
Nope
There is a new seeker, warhead, proximity device, motor, and the body is lengthened and made more aerodynamic. The grid fins were revised heavily to reduce drag and improve performance. It may as well be an entirely separate missile in similar form factor.
More than likely, yes.
if only gaijin thought the same
The R-77-1 does have a sustainer in the files
