Suggestion for new feature.

Hi Russ

Some of the better aircraft such as those from A2A show the effect of the airflow from the prop over the control surfaces when the plane is stationary on the ground. Most noticeably the pitch of the plane on its wheels changes when the elevator is adjusted due to the airflow from the prop. This efect is obviously most noticable at full throttle at take off. The force feedback however does not provide any additional centering force when the engine is revved. Would it be possible for you to add the effect of a certain amount of centering force (at least on the elevator axis) proportional to engine revs.

Hi again

Looking down the forum topics, I notice this subject has already been raised regarding propwash on tail draggers. Although the consequences are of course more dramatic and serious on tail draggers :shock: I beleive that the feature would add a lot of immersion and realism for all types of aircraft. Clearly additional programming work is required so how about making an updated version with this feature that is not a free upgrade. I for one would gladly pay the discounted price for an existing user for a new version with this feature just as I would have to pay up again for swapping to P3D.

What do others think?

I think that is a good suggestion. I'm considering allocating some time this summer to do an upgrade to FS Force. Will keep you all posted.

Kelvin,

I did get to spend some time with this over the summer, but other projects came up and I was not able to finish. I'm pretty close though. I'd really like to get this out but we'll see what happens over the next few months, or possibly the beginning of next year.
