Is there yet a way to change Tire Pressure " Programmatically " to dynamically change these the
static frictions – ? ie To change the ground handing of the plane with tire
pressure / custom tire failure / flats. One would also want to graphically
show the tire being in a flat state when on the ground, maybe by dynamically
change the wheels’ ground contact point, so the tire appears flat when on the
ground .
These .cfg parameters only affect lateral friction at some non-defined “high
speed.” Tire pressure/tire failure/flats would also affect longitudinal
friction and at all speeds. My question would be, when we will have the
ability to customize tire friction (rolling and braking) vs speed, runway
surface type, runway surface condition (e.g., dry, wet, standing water, snow,
ice) and longitudinal/lateral directions?
Hello @DA40CGDFQ No, changing tire pressure programmatically is not possible.
These 2 parameters were just introduced to reduce the “stickiness” of the
landing gear at high speeds. We have more long term plans to improve the
ground handling. Regards, Sylvain
