Hi guys,
very simple.
I just noticed that during flight (so no ground contact) if I sum the 4 force vectors (thrust, weight, lift and drag) and I compare it to the force I have from GetForceVector I get a difference along Z of around 50kN constant. This happens only if I apply thrust to my vessel, while it is almost 0 in all other circumstances. It happens at all the altitudes (so no atmo effect is involved) and also with complex flight and all the perturbations disabled.
Does anybody have an idea of why this happens? 50kN is not huge but still I don't understand why there is such a difference when thrust is applied.
Thanks!
Fred
