Question about new ground friction variables in the flight_model.cfg

[meurkel]

PMDG has definitely neglected switching to the new navdata format for far too long. The fact I've had to define whether an altitude restriction is above...

[meurkel]

I can confirm

Hi,

I'm so glad PMDG is using the new ground friction variables at last that came with SU10. I'm a little confused however by the values:...

[meurkel]

I think you and sone other folks have misunderstood. When I say “ground effect“ I’m talking about the increase in lift you get when close to the...

[meurkel]

It‘s a bit more than a buzzword. As mentioned above, it improves the flare because the ground effect is more realistic. I‘m not exactly sure what‘s...

[meurkel]

But how exactly does the sim limit you in that regard? FBW created their own engine model from scratch and they never mentioned any sim limitations.

[meurkel]

Yeah and the flare feels too static, which would be fixed with cfd

[meurkel]

Hello,

I've recently learned that the iniBuilds takes advantage of the CFD in the sim. That's the second airliner (with the Fenix) that we...

[meurkel]

It's actually realistic as per the real thing. You need quite a bit of thrust to get moving but then it keeps rolling with idle thrust

[meurkel]

Oh thanks. How did you get these values since they're not the default ones?

[meurkel]

I have to say I'm a bit frustrated after the last update. The new variables are still not in the flight_model.cfg. Come on PMDG, the Fenix feels so much...
