Ground effect... Is it modeled in Aerofly FS 2 ?

1st Official Post

    From the few flights I performed with almost all aircraft models in Aerofly fs2, I couldn't notice the presence of any ground effect.

    This was particularly obvious in the C90, and also in the airliners. No effect at all, for instance in the form of reduction of descent rate as you get closer to ground / runway.

    Is the effect modelled ?

    Yes the effect is modelled. Its reduced a bit on the airliners as the default 1.0 value causes the aircraft to really ballon up and it gets hard to flare. So the value is a bit on the lower end. If you want to you can edit the ground effect strength and size by opening the .tmd files of the affected aircraft. Set the GroundEffectFactor and GroundEffectScale of the LeftWingAero and RightWingAero object to a higher value and try it out yourself.
