Take-off distance

Recommended Posts

Is it possible to adjust the aircraft take-off distance and acceleration? If so, how?

Adjust it? Well you can't set it to what you want.I hear that brakedistance setting determines performance but I think thats for AI.

I think its mostly in the "Mass" and how you setup your geometry.

And the landcontact's need to be in a good spot (below the tires slightly)

You have to adjust the max speed of the plane.

The higher it is, the longer it takes to take off.

This also affects acceleration.

The thing is I would like to make a short(er) take-off aircraft with high acceleration and a top speed at around 800.

Ya see,my planes are WW2 ,I don't want to change the top speed

In essence the lighter the craft,the shorter the takeoff speed and the better acceleration

Isn't 800kph beyond what OFP will do?

As I understand it, the lighter the plane, the shorter the takeoff, and the faster roll rate. I've been having a hard time controlling Kegetys' hawk with joysticks, because it rolls 3 times in one second! It gets out of hand easily. Also it needs a full runway to take off. On the other hand, Hudson's F/A-18C handles just beautifully, and needs no more than 100 meters of runway.

I think you need landingspeed =

For it changes the speed at wich you can lift off too.

I've flown planes at over 15000mph and OFP handled it

just fine smile.gif Its almost impossible to control though: you

put the nose down for a second and you are in the water!
