Saw this at Avsim and Flightsim.com today and downloaded & tested it.
VERSION 2.40
- Completely redone flight dynamics. All input values to match NATOPS as close as possible with some corrections when needed.
Changed all MOIs using Roskam methods and changed many Mach tables, resulting dynamics are less responsive at low speeds, but
also much less prone to uncontrollable departures.
Roll rate dependency on Mach now should be more accurate, also rudder authority vs. Mach and roll moment due to rudder deflection
should be more accurate (rudder effectiveness decreases significantly above Mach 0.80 and A/C will roll in the opposite direction
above Mach 0.85)
IMHO even if dynamics are less responsive now, they are more suitable to the training purposes of the T-45C.
- Added speedbrake blowback feature (as in the real thing, extending the speedbrake above 340kts may result in partial extension only).
- Fixed AoA needle bug, failing to report actual AoA
- Fixed Reference HTML documents
- Fixed main landing gear "wobble"
- Fixed several typos in the VNATOPs manual
I can confirm that the flight model feels much better than any previous version. I ran several carrier traps and cat shots and it performed perfectly. A Great model now even better! Thanks Dino!
