Knife Edge pass

FALCON56 · Post by **FALCON56** » Wed May 31, 2006 8:27 pm

Can anyone explain the best way to do a knife edge pass??? My problem is Im not able to keep the aircraft upright and level.. I dip towrads eighter direction and in most cases results in a crash... Any help with correcting my prob would be appreciated. Thanks.

For specifics on airspeed/alt read our VTB Ops manual in the files section.

Good Luck,

Striker,

Ive followed all your advice read and even watched a vew clips of the real manuver...I have improved but I still take that dive..I m just wondering if me using FS2004 has anything to do with it..Do to the flight model...What is your opinion??? Thanks

Using MSFS has everything to do with it. I have yet to fly a plane on there that can do a knife edge, probably something to due with the way flight models are constructed.

MSFS? What were you thinking bud? MSFS and LOMAC are apples and oranges! Flight models on MSFS are so linear and in my mind fake that its very hard to judge anything going on. MSFS has been tried by many of people for formation flying amongst others and yet to date I can only think of one online team that uses MSFS for formations...and I believe they are on a LAN. Everyone, I dont know what it is but their are always those who keep trying to fly as perfect as you can in MSFS just like in LOMAC.....untill they fix the netcode its impossible. Hence nobody has succeeded in doing it. And when I mean succeeded I mean like putting on a full airshow with all 6 planes. Yet there is always someone out there that just jumps in and says they can do it without looking around and wondering why nobody has tried it before. Truth is many people have tried it before and people keep trying yet to date nobody has got the clue that it doesnt work on MSFS and jump in the cockpit without even doing a small bit of homework or what I call computer sense. Folks dont get me wrong. I encourage everyone/anyone to try flying in other sims but you'll notice the only sim that has had any success with jet a/c is LOMAC while IL-2 is great for props because its all been tried and tested many of times...hence why we use LOMAC.

Either case Falcon56, good luck bud and I highly encourage you to switch to lomac for formation flying. As far as solo stuff then MSFS holds its own with certain aspects. I just cant help you on the flight dynamics of whatever f16 you have downloaded.

Flying the Friendly,
