Panama Red 22 Posted June 19, 2009 Does the weapons mass and guns mass add to the empty weight mass of plane (and thus effect the flight performance) or is it used just for the pylon configuration ??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+christian59 8 Posted June 19, 2009 hello yes in the data of the plane for no addon weapon like gun like this PylonMass=0.01 PylonDragArea=0.00 and for addon weapon like bombs in the weapondata Mass=11.340000 Diameter=0.127000 Length=0.660400 SubsonicDragCoeff=0.200000 SupersonicDragCoeff=0.770000 Christian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panama Red 22 Posted June 19, 2009 Christian59: The reason that I ask, is that you have the Emptymass of the N17b=385 and the Emptymass of the N17c=373 (373 is the Emptymass of the N17 and N17a too). Since both the N17b and N17c have two machineguns (the Vickers and Lewis are only a couple of pounds different in weight), I wasa wondering why there was 12 kg (or 26 lbs) difference between the two planes ??? I did not know if you were attempting to add the weight for the second machinegun to the N17b, but then forgot to add the additional weight to the N17c or that the weapons station for the second Lewis made up for the extra weight needed in the N17c. Thanks for the updates, they work great. Panama Red Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+christian59 8 Posted June 19, 2009 the weight of the data is from differnt books and many are different for the same plane i have increase the weight because a add of gun on upper wing ,we must increase the structure hardness too and gun can sty on wing without hardpoint so i have choise the uper weight that i have found on some books sorry for my poor english Christian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
