KrisFlyZ 0 #1 March 9, 2007 Not in the turbulent airflow? We have all seen them on the videos. I was watching the fly-the-line trailer and noticed that the smoke trail shows clean airflow. From the flyer's perspective it even looks like it bends down a little(maybe due to the angle the smoke cannister makes with the flyers body). I don't have the videos handy but even in flocking videos, I cannot recall smoke trails look like they were in horribly turbulent airflow. Most flockers/skydivers have physically felt the burble(might be a different kind of burble to the one being discussed). We have seen videos of PCs get sucked into the burble. With a wingsuit the burble is bigger(?) and behind us. Roughly in the same direction as the smoke trail. Why is the smoke not in turbulent air? Kris.

unclecharlie95 3 #2 March 9, 2007 Put smoke on a flock dive and you'll see the turbulence. The flights in FTL are for performance, the smoke goes into the votrex coming off the foot. Check out the footage on "holy smoke" JBASEstore.it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KrisFlyZ 0 #5 March 11, 2007 The flight smoke looks like it is in a vortex in holy smoke. Did not notice that before. Even though I had that video on my computer and have looked at it several times. The smoke on this one at the end of this flight shows turbulence well. I was expecting that kind of airflow after looking at the video(the threads on the wing) posted by Andy. My own attempts to film airflow over the wing have been unsuccesful so far the camera mounting is off. Kris. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
