Cameron Posted January 22, 2016 Report Posted January 22, 2016 A new video from Nils has been posted showing off flap vortices for the 737 Classic! Check it out below! 26
Push_IT_Up Posted January 23, 2016 Report Posted January 23, 2016 IXEG is raising the bar, this is a real beauty.
Gjalp Posted January 23, 2016 Report Posted January 23, 2016 Fantaswtic, now do it again in HD, full screen at low res doesnt do it justice!!!! My first ever flight was in a 733 to Dunedin, turbulence all the way! Slainte, AndyNZCH 2

My first ever flight was in a 733 to Dunedin, turbulence all the way! Slainte, AndyNZCHClick the gear button bottom right and change quality to 720p. That will give you HD in full screen (EDIT) Why on earth would someone dislike a post that is meant to help someone with a request? Edited January 23, 2016 by Yidahoo 1 1
DarkKnight1083 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Posted January 23, 2016 I was wondering if anybody could explain how flap vortices arise or what causes them =)
Rich Martin Posted January 23, 2016 Report Posted January 23, 2016 I was wondering if anybody could explain how flap vortices arise or what causes them =)In answer to your question, air molecules don't flow straight over a wing linearly from fore to aft. Instead, the air passing under the wing tends to curve outboard, whereas the air flowing over the wing tends to curve inboard. Combined with the fact that the pressure on top of the wing is lower than the pressure under the wing, the air under the wing is going to be sucked up and over the wing at certain points, typically at wing tips. This interaction between the two air flows causes a spiral motion. As the angle of attack of the wing is increased this interaction becomes more pronounced. Extending trailing edge flaps increases the effective angle of attack and some aircraft will experience vortices from their flaps, whereas by design others don't. Aircraft with winglets are less susceptible to wingtip vortices and indeed the purpose of the winglet is to reduce the vortex effect as it causes induced drag which costs fuel.Vortices are more visual on aircraft approaching to land in moist conditions. ie, conditions where the air temperature and dew point temperature are close. The accelerating air within the vortex causes the pressure and therefore temperature to drop to that of the dewpoint temperature and the vortex becomes visible. (You can test the theory of pressure and temperature dropping in accelerated air by clenching your teeth and sucking in quickly-your teeth go cold).I hope this answers your question. For the record, I fly the real thing professionally. 5
heinz92 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Posted January 23, 2016 That is amazing indeed. Are there any other effects yet unknown to us? For example, are the poor almost non existent XP default contrails used? Not a biggie if so, but seeing as you have created these neat little touches made me curious.
Aeropayo Posted January 23, 2016 Report Posted January 23, 2016 The flap vortex effect is awesome, but has anyone notice THE REALISTIC SOUND in the last sequence of the video!!!!????. It sounds real!!!! I thought it was a sound effect from real world inserted in the video!!! If you IXEG guys pay attention to this tiny details, I can't imagine what's waiting to discover!!!! 1
Vespa Posted January 23, 2016 Report Posted January 23, 2016 Amazing ... really can't wait to fly this birds 1
Nano Posted January 23, 2016 Report Posted January 23, 2016 Quite impressive indeed. The DDenn G6000 was at the top of my purchase list, but I believe it just got bumped to 2nd place.
sizziano Posted January 23, 2016 Report Posted January 23, 2016 Really nice. How is this effect achieved? Is it realistic and dynamic or is it just x number of conditions are met so play the animation?
ONDR4.cz Posted January 23, 2016 Report Posted January 23, 2016 This has put a big grin on my face. I remember that back in the days of FS2004 I would photoshop exhaust heat haze and flap vortices to my screenshots to make them look more like actual photographs. Now it's more like watching an actual B733 .
eurocat Posted January 23, 2016 Report Posted January 23, 2016 Is it realistic and dynamic or is it just x number of conditions are met so play the animation?I presume, both.... but who cares?! While you're 'sitting' up front, does not make sense if those conditions are met or not. It llooks nice on replay session. It really does though! Are we there yet? ) 1
Rodeo Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 So early this morning, the forum was offline, apparently the forum software was being upgraded. Why???

Rodeo Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 So it's completely unrelated to the 737?
Cameron Posted January 24, 2016 Author Report Posted January 24, 2016 So it's completely unrelated to the 737? Correct!
LPNils Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 Fun to see people are starting to see signs in everything. 1
signmanbob Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 To keep the forum software up to date. You're not fooling us. We know that there is a deeper more meaningful reason. 1
