April 3, 201412 yr I guess this is a subject never brought to this forum. I actually believe this was unheard before on any flight simulation forum, so, I decided to start this topic on Torque... Do you know it can affect an aircraft with any sort of, prop / fan? Well, it can, and the guilty is always that poor english guy who got an apple on is head when it felt from a tree... Anyway, this is an interesting thread at PPrune, and it talks about torque on jet/turbofan engines, and why it is negligible compared to torque on prop / turboprop engines / aircraft. Thought you might find it interesting to read, specially some of the posts from people who really know what they are talking about .... Torque effects on Jet/Turbofan Engines... And, I was once talking to a german Luftwafe pilot who had flown the Starfighters at Beja Airbase in Portugal and he told me the f104 had such a powerful turbine, and such a high wing loading, that when throttling it up torque was a factor! Learning to fly gliders since 1980Stopped using flightsims for good since early August 2026, after 34 yrs using some really great specimens... If I'm asked to name the preferred one, after all these years, MSFS 2024 is my answer without hesitation.(No desktop :-// after the last one crashed for good, so no simming, but I keep polling AVSIM - my main ludic activities spot since around 2006...)
