Good afternoon folks, we may be in Easter, but we do not rest so let’s go there with another update!
F-15 (C/D/E/I) Official Community Mod v.1.17 update
List of changes:
Corrections in airplane geometry.
Corrections in Aerodynamics (Mach tables and such)
Improved Cockpit overall framerate.
Airplane Geometry:
As the E / I models use conformal tanks and the C / D models do not, the diameter of the fuselages has been corrected to match real life, with the consequent increase in drag that the E / I models produce with respect to the C / D. The flight model behavior will be more different between them, however due to the thrust of the pw 200-229 engines compared to the 100-200, the increase in drag in E / I will be compensated by that higher power.
The horizontal and vertical stabilizers areas have been revised again, as well as the elasticity vs. dynamic pressure tables have been further revised too, to further define the actual behavior of the aircraft at different speeds and altitudes.
Aerodynamics:
Minor revision of the aerodynamics has been done to enable some Mach tables that were not working properly, as well as a revision of the elasticity of the control elements (elevator, aileron and rudder). Consequently, you will notice how the rudder has more authority, in addition to being possible to make step turns up to 30 AOA degrees, however you run the risk of entering stall at full stick as in real life so it is important to do more controlled maneuvers.
Cockpit:
Finally, we have managed to improve the performance of framerate up to 30% in cockpit depending on the hardware. This has been done by correcting the internal resolution of both the HUD and the MFD’s, due to this you will notice a positive change without loss of quality. We hope you like it.
Instructions: just unzip the folder included in the zip into your community folder. Remove any previous mod you could have before. Official product and mod version must coexist into community folder this way:
When you unzip a mod, the content structure of the folder must be as follows, that is, there cannot be a subdirectory with the same name:
That’s all, as always we hope you enjoy it! Any issue, let us know.
