Wind-tunnel technology

Post by crim3 »

In the features listed at the manual it says "The latest wind-tunnel technology creates fluid flying qualities". What does it mean? Are you overriding in some manner the FSX's flight model calculation with your own? Or have you obtained flying data from a wind-tunnel (real or simulation) to build the flight model data file?

This means the airfoils were built with the most accurate wind tunnel data, and this has been tuned into the FSX flight model.

The latter; a sophisticated computer model is used to confirm the characteristics of the airfoil and the lift/drag ratio of the wing and the performance of the wing as a whole.
