it is possible because if there is 800km of head wind the plane will hover because the head wind is like a plane flying in mid air.Real life is impossible.
You are wrong. I have hovered plenty of times in real life. The most recent one was a day with 60 knot winds at 3000 feet (and only about 18 knots on the ground). I slowed the plane down to 60 knots, just above stall speed. The GPS said I was going backwards. Granted, if it was 60 knots on the ground, I would not have taken off. Still, it has been done.
if the throttle is at idle and the engines are producing no appreciable thrust, the plane would fly backward from the induced drag, wouldn't it? This is an interesting thought experiment...
wrong, it's no lift, no drag. There is obviously lift present here and if there's no thrust there, the resultant acceleration vector is up and behind the aircraft. It should move back and gain altitude at the same time. however the poster stated he throttled up so this is why you it doesn't move back.
Maybe everyone is confused by the term 'hover' technically the plane is flying at 120kts if that's what the wind speed is, the ground speed is zero but it appears to be 'hovering' since it has zero ground speed.
That's totally possible even in real life if there was ever a steady 120kt wind speed (or whatever speed is higher than the stall speed on the plan you are trying to 'hover') cool video and neat idea, I might try that later.
Cranking up the Headwind makes sense to me. Why do you think you have to tie aircraft down in real life. A strong wind and they want to fly... An airfoil is an airfoil. What is important is maintaining the airspeed. As long as the aircraft is not moving backwards, 120kts of direct headwind, will appear to the aircraft as 120kts of airspeed. Again, it is essential that the aircraft is stationary.
No, the config file was not edited, nor is it flawed. Heck ill send you it if you really want. Its not impossible, check the other video, different plane, same idea.
it's a bit scary to see in improperly secured c-150 in the parking area encounter 60kt winds and do this in real life... also, try landing into the wind with it set to your aircraft's mcas... try to land on the numbers :D
If you slew you find that it is impossible to control so precisely whilst staying on a fixed spot. I think you'll find that its the old trick of setting a 180 knot head wind, and if you know your aerofoil physics, that'll make the aircraft hover. Try it and prove im wrong.
yes it is don't lie to me dude, ive got the controls for pitch on my joystick for slew. all you did was slew upwards and use your pitch control for slew, then you went back down and played it through replay mode so you got an easy way of showing it wasn't.
...and then the wind changed directions and the plane fell out of the sky and everyone died. :(

Well at 120knots = 222km/h that is equal of a category 4 cyclone. I think it would work :D

uploaded1234 4 years ago
Its easy really, just change the wind so its like 120 knots pointing towards your plane. Then throttle up the engines and pull up.

The video here is indeed a replay, however I did not use slew. Check the other hovering video, it has sound to go along with it.

you stupid that happenes in flight sim, it's not that hard make a 120 head wind, and you can hover a fully loaded 747-400 it's not that hard!!!!!
Omid45 3 years ago
Yup, its very easy and in the other video I do just that, hover a fully loaded 747. Check the video response.
