Aerobatics... - How?

[banana]

Hum... How can I do the 'Torque-Roll'? The aerobatics what I can do: looping, roll...

[dukkflyer]

do you mean the barrel roll?

[IMAC Pilot]

well, from my limited knowlage, i think a torque roll involves a roll in the same direction as the spinning prop. but i am probably wrong.

[dukkflyer]

i think IMAC pilot is right. but you cant exactly see which direction the prop is going in FMS.

The torque-roll I know consists of "hanging" the plane vertically by the propeller thrust, just like an helicopter.

I think FMS has no capabilities of doing torque-roll, because the phisics of the simulation are not so acurate ( it can't simulate the propeller wash, with zero relative airspeed, so you don't have commands at all). At least, I never could do it.

Best regards,

I disagree isaac, i was just playing FMS and messing around with an indoor CAP-20, and i pitched up on full throttle, and it seemed to hang for a few seconds, bobbing about, before keeling over into a stall and connecting with the ground rather faster than i expected.

I didn't say it has not enough "thrust" for torque roll.

It doesn't have "command", so you can hang it by the propeller for a while, but when the plane starts to tilt sideways/back-forth you can't correct using rudder/elevator.

When a plane is in torque-roll, altough the speed is zero, the propeller wash is acting on the control surfaces. FMS doesn't take in acount the propeller wash, only the relative air-speed (that is the same as the ground-speed, because in FMS there is no wind).

Thanks everybody for the assistance! But IMAC Pilot
, where can I download a Cap-20??? :p
