I’ve read a few posts that say the ‘wing_incidence‘ angle in the aircraft.cfg is just for reference and has no effect.
It certainly doesn’t seem to work.
In level flight my AOA matches the Pitch Indicator at cruise speed. (0 deg for both)
Trying a bunch of wing_incidence values form -5 to +5 I saw no change.
I think if it was working this is one place it would show up…unless I’m missing something.
My question is…in table 404 CL vs AOA do we have to adjust all figures to account for this missing wing incidence.
tbl404AOA = knownAOA - (wingIncident)
So if I want to stall at 16deg AOA, and I have +2deg wing incident, my graph should use 14deg AOA?
Basically translate all graph values left/right according to a +/ - wing incident.
Or is there another parameter to set to account for this angle.
