Plane wobble while in steady flight
-
I was going to setup for a recording and everything but first i wanted to see if this was some sort of known issue.
i have this issue where even while in steady flight, with all of the weather turned off/down (from what i can tell) i will get this constant wobble.
It will last at least 30 seconds or more and then i will have steady flight for a a minute or two then the wobble.
At first i just chalked it up ti wind gusts or other weather as that is what it seems like, but its far to regular and consistent in duration.
Additionally i haven’t seen it in an of the youtube videos of people showing off version 4.33.
And to be fair, i wasn’t active enough in 4.32 to say if it was there, but i dont recall it.I did a quick forum search didn’t find anything, so before i invest too much time i wanted to make sure it wasn’t some setting or ‘feature’ i wasn’t aware of.
otherwise, since its very readily reproduced i can make a short video i think and share it if that is the best way -
Speed, Heading, Altitude, Load out, and location ?
-
The main kicker here is load out and speed. Could be the problem I have seen in 4.32 and 4.33 or it could just be LCOs depending on his load out.
-
happened to me too today. C config with 2 mavericks.at FL150 had wobble around 340-350CAS
-
Look out the window. Are the wings shaking? If so, all is normal.

I you’re talking about ordinance "fluttering"at certain speeds/attitudes it’s not a bug. One of the manuals describes this.

thank you all for the feedback, its been on a variety of load outs, yes some with noticeable wing flex some without.
as it doesn’t appear to be a known issue, i will try and setup a clean f-16 and at the very leas record and acmi file in case thats useful.
if the issue doesnt occur then i guess i have my answer.Forgive me, as i noted i just wanted to make sure it wasn’t already some known issue before i start to put time into figuring out what im doing to cause it, or what part of the simulator is causing it so i can learn to manage it… will update soon, thanks

LCOs of Maverick and HARMs, most probably. Articles are unavailable ATM, but there is one on the matter.

Can you do a video?
I’ve been doing a few test flights on the Training TE flights (Navigation and Landing) and if I forget to speed up, the aircraft (clean config) does seem to wobble.
-
LCO or turbulences
you can have turbulences in different atmosphere layers…

Thanks for the input, since it was clearly not a known but, i spent the time flying the said path at the same alt in the same TE, and it does appear that its a combination of heavier munitions.
I will have to figure out how to best handle this. When watching some tutorial videos on both CCIP and CCRP bombing i dont recall seeing this wobble, and what prompted me to post this was doing the dump bomb training, with the 12 BDU33’s and the damn plan was wobbling so much i could get a n accurate drop.
Im pretty used to both CCIP and CCRP in the DCS A-10C flight model, and while i know this wont be the same, it was really frustrating.
i will have to continue to try things to see if i can find a way to manage it. -

In RL would a pilot move the plane out of those parameters? Do these flutters damage the jet and/or ordance?

no they dont.
dash says it is just annoying…
-
btw if you dont want to have LCO, buffeting, assymetrical effects. just select moderate flight model

GASP!!! The horror!!

Moderate is for p****…
Either move out of the parameters if it really annoys you or accept it the way it is. Usually it stops at around 380kts or so and is real bad at around 250-350kts from my little experience in 4.33.
Loading wing tanks seems to help a lot compared to carrying bombs on the inner hardpoints.
At typical combat speeds with >400kts it is not so frequent anymore.When flying underneath clouds, this can happen by turbulence. It’s physics- it doesn’t hurt but it is annoying from time to time
But really, I’d miss it if it wouldn’t be there. It feels so much more like you would be really flying and adds so much to the immersion that I’d really miss it. -
… Do these flutters damage the jet and/or ordnance?
being that this are highend fighting machines designed to take the stresses of dogfights, 9g turns and enemy fire… i have to figure weather conditions in which the jet is allowed to fly in (ie not in a hurricane) are not going to physically damage the airframe
As for the ordnance, i think the weakest can handle the stresses of up to a 5g (or was it 5.5) turn
So i would think that the airframe and ordnance would be safe in even the worst BMS simulated weather conditions. -
