simulation of wet/contaminated runway?

Featured Replies

Will it be simulated or is it restricted because of FSX? Question inspired by the preflight video over at AOA.

It should. I don't see any reason why it would.

Maybe if a wet runway in the sim is just for visuals, PMDG could manipulate the braking effectiveness accordingly with how wet the runway is on the fly, if you know what I mean. That could possibly be a work-around. It would be great to really plan out a landing having to worry about stopping distance.

I have no definitive proof on all of this, but I don't think that there's a sim indicator for wet ground. The wet ground image is a visual effect shown when it rains and disappears thereafter, so it's unrealistic at best. Furthermore, there's no real way to tell how much precip is on the ground based on the sim's weather engine. Weather being driven by the sim and the NGX, it would be very difficult to implement this retroactively as part of an aircraft add-on. If you did, it would be entirely gamey and unrealistic.

Im pretty sure the MD-80LH does model wet vs dry but I dont know how they do it =)

Guys, braking action affected by rain, snow,ice Brake temps etc is already available in a few fs9 aircraft that I use. PMDG have already stated it will be included in the NGX

I have yet to see an aircraft with this properly simulated, which aircraft has it?Sounds great, I was also thinking a simulation was possible if the producer would take the route edged out by Angelo.

The LSH Maddog has this... Nothing new there.

Maddog, Airsimmer A320, freeware tupolev. Probably a few others I don't know about. TSR autobrake also adds this to addons that don't already have it implemented.

V1 will change as per QRH based on the DRY/WET/SK setting on take off page 2. In general, V_Speeds in the NGx as per real airplane depend on slope/condition/derate/assumed temperature/weight/flaps/wind (did I forget something ?) Suggested values are exact.

Yeah I saw changes in that in the Queen as well, but to see it in a product like Rob informs, is new for me. Wow sounds good!
