How to do a flip

bobbysocks · #1 03-23-2010, 06:27 PM

a tumble??? nose over tail?? that'll confuse'm alright..haha...they will be confused as to what target to hit next after waxing you. you would be better off kicking it into a spin if you want that kind of maneuver...much more easy to recover. but you are basically dead in the water and easy picking if your aversary has distance on you. a tumble, i dont know if you can get into one...maybe in real or sim... the stuff is fun to mess with in a non combat situation...

but here try this:

The classic Lomcevak is entered from a 45° up line, at cruise speed or below, with full throttle applied. To begin the maneuver, full right rudder is applied and held simultaneously with full left aileron and full down elevator. The response varies considerably from aircraft to aircraft, but the usual result is a graceful end-for-end tumble on all three control axes, finishing with the aircraft in an inverted spin.

Just sounded like a hawx-esque move..

Is it the move that bobbysocks suggested? is it a forwards or backwards tumble? Is it even a tumble? I'm just curious now..

the slickest move i ever saw was when we went to the gathering of mustangs a few years ago and they had an F22 going throuhg its routine. it did a 3/4 tumble....basically did a 180 at a stand still. i couldnt believe my eyes but he did it several times....now this would be a killer move! reverse direction on a dime....but that aint happening with these type of aircraft...

crosshair, i hope you dont think i was making fun of you or trying to put you down. if that is the impression you got i apologize....that was not my intention at all.

Does anybody know which button to press to make my Spitfire to go into Assistance off mode?

I take no offense to it.

I'm very biased in favor of su-27 series... but the 35 can flat-spin too, and even fly backwards, a little bit, as long it's part of a double backflip.

Maybe that's what crosshair means, a backflip... still no way is a ww2 fighter gonna do that, not under control at least.

crosshair when you've got someone on your 6, the best thing is to either:

1) bravely run away, if you've got the speed or energy advantage
2) make a rolling out-of-plane turn. The bogey will be trying to line your flight path up with their guns plane, so don't fly a straight line across their field of vision. If you roll while turning, they have to aim for a snapshot instead, since you'll pass through their guns plane for only a split second.

One of the classic ways is to yank the stick back, apply a slow roll, and as soon as you evade their snapshot, keep turning (elevator) towards them, rolling to keep them in sight on your near wing or above your canopy. Basically you'll start barrel-rolling around them. If they don't start barrel-rolling back, they'll overshoot. Then it's their turn to bravely run away like Sir Robin.
