Good day!
As we get closer to the FlightSimExpo i made a poll to guess what the secret project will be from pmdg.

Just for fun.It has nothing to do with reality.Lets keep it as simple as possible.Thank you


(where is my poll i made?)

I want to vote twice. One vote for 737-8 and 787, and also for the airbus series.... hahahahaha

Not worth doing unless you model the spring tension in accordance with the principles of Hookes Law.

(Seriously, google Hooke's Law - I am amazed at the extent to which the properties of a spring have been evaluated by science!)

No option for a new 64bit MD11? I am shocked :laugh:

Back in the 70s I think, Flying magazine did a "pilot report" article on a gas powered pogo stick, literally a two-stroke single piston engine that was a powered pogo stick.  The problem they had "test flying" was they'd laugh so hard they'd fall off.  Springs played a vital role in Leonardo's design of flying machines in the 16th century so don't discount the importance of springs.

Gulfstream....

Maybe the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy? I don’t think anybody would expect military aircraft from PMDG and it’s certainly huge. Although I just don’t see PMDG taking 10 years on it.

Is there any other way to model a spring?

Now that would be a welcome surprise. Not that long to wait...

Well we wouldn't want them just relying on the native P3D spring modelling. I'd want to see them do their own complex algorithms outside of the sim. 😆

Hooke’s Law is pretty simple. Deflection is proportional to force. It says nothing about things like friction and damping which I suspect you are referring to. I don’t know what P3D’s spring model is but if it’s anything other than Hooke’s Law I’d be surprised.
