==== F4U Update ==== | |||
Lbrenta updated the F4U Corsair, implementing the following changes: | |||
'''FDM''': | |||
* switched to YASIM_VERSION_CURRENT, allowing multiple-part wing. Changed the wing+mstab+mstab configuration into a 3-part inverted gull wing (stub, main wing, wingtip). | |||
* (ballast): add armor, self-sealing fuel tanks; adjust CoG to 25% MAC. | |||
* Tune for more realistic engine RPM, like the F6F Hellcat. | |||
'''Keyboard''': | |||
* (Ctrl+L): delete, redundant with the standard key binding l. | |||
* (u, U): replace with Alt+S for consistency with the F6F and Lockheed1049h. | |||
* (f, F): reassign to opening and closing cowl flaps for consistency with the Lockheed1049h. Implement the bindings here. | |||
* (Alt+Q, Alt+S:) shift supercharger speed | |||
'''Multiplayer''': | |||
* Transmit values for cowl flaps, canopy and wing folding. | |||
* Do not pollute the property trees of remote aircraft over multiplayer. | |||
* Models/F4U-1.xml (nasal/load): alias the above properties to animate remote Corsairs. | |||
'''3D''': | |||
* replace the rotate animation for the magnetos switch with a knob animation. This makes it possible to turn the switch with the mouse. | |||
* Make a knob animation for the fuel selector switch. This makes it possible to select fuel tanks from the cockpit and eliminates the need to "Magically start engine" from the menu. Note: the fuel selector selects only one tank at a time for now; only the main tank has a gauge (as in real life); look at the Fuel and Payload dialog to see which tank is selected. | |||
'''Systems''': | |||
* implement cooling when the engine is not running. | |||
