DaddyTim Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I tried once without success. I was flying the Hornet (F18) faster than 761 mph, but did not hear or experience anything. Has anyone else done it and if so, how?

tiger1962 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) Err... you were flying faster than the speed of sound and didn't hear anything? I don't think supersonic flight is supported yet, so you won't see or hear any default effects for now. Edited January 14, 2022 by tiger1962 Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

Disneyflyer Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 When I have flown the Hornet that fast, in outside view if you pan around the plane, it goes quite at the front, but when you go to the back, you hear a boom. Inside the plane you don't hear it. You can download the Warrior mod off of flightsim.to and I believe that it will add a vapor cone around the wings. ....Signature not required for delivery.... **i7-9700k @ 3.60GHz, GeForce RTX 2070 Super, ROG Strix Z390-E, 32gb G Skill 3200 C16, 1 TB Pcie SSD, 850w Power** **Honeycomb Alpha Yoke, Logitech Throttle, Logitech Pedals** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g7rta Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Even if it was supported, I don’t think you would hear the sonic boom. People on the ground would hear it as you passed by, but onboard the aircraft it would sound normal.

lnuss Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 To support what Steve said, the things I've read over the years about supersonic flight, from Chuck Yeager and Bob Hoover to the Concorde and beyond indicates that aside from potential control problems in poorly designed aircraft, the transition thru and past mach 1 is only noticed by reading the mach meter. The sonic booms (to over-simplify) are shock waves that are created by the aircraft as the air has trouble getting out of the way quickly enough, so they roll off of the aircraft in a continuous pressure wave that spreads out behind the aircraft like a boat's wake (close enough for this post), so as it hits the "shore" (the ground) it booms, much like an ocean wave makes noise when it hits the rocks on shore. So if the effects are, indeed, included in the sim, those effects would only be apparent if you were to fly over your ground presence, perhaps in the tower or otherwise in some sort of external view.

mikeandpatty Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Correct, you do not hear it in the aircraft. I've done it for real in several real aircraft. Sometimes the Mach Indicator jumps just a little depending on pitot- static system characteristics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyTim Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 Thanks to all for your input. I thought I had read somewhere that it is supported by MFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
